The HOT New Color For 2014 Is Radiant Orchid: Great For Beauty + Fashion!

This is it! Radiant Orchid is THE color for 2014.

Last year it was emerald.

So, what does orchid represent to the world?

The Pantone Color Institute talks about it here, from their website:

"Radiant Orchid reaches across the color wheel to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “An invitation to innovation, Radiant Orchid encourages expanded creativity and originality, which is increasingly valued in today’s society."

"An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.".

Orchid is GORGEOUS for beauty + fashion!! And pretty baubles, too.

The shade which blends, fuchsia with purple + pink undertones is quite flattering to one's complexion and nails.

So look for orchid makeup to really hit the market soon.

The Spring 2014 runways featured Radiant Orchid. And you will see variations of this beautiful color wherever you shop in the new year.

Check out Glee's Lea Michele in a double-breasted trench coat by Ted Baker London back in early September. She was rockin' the orchid trend then. And we like the pretty pop of color!

 

 

We think Smashbox O Glow features a lovely orchid-shaded blush + gloss, $26 at Sephora.
