Yesterday, Pantone announced that the 2019 Color of the Year is Living Coral! They described the hue as "an animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge. Sociable and spirited, the engaging nature of Living Coral welcomes and encourages lighthearted activity. Symbolizing our innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits, Living Coral embodies our desire for playful expression." How exciting!
As the new "it" shade, we're sure you're already dying to wear this on your eyelids (and cheeks and lips)! Scroll below for some inspo:
