I’m sure you know by now that Ultra Violet was named the Pantone Color of the Year for 2018 and you better believe that I’m incorporating it into every aspect of my life and the blog. Ultra violet communicates originality, ingenuity and visionary thinking that points us toward the future. It’s inventive and imaginative and it lights the way to what is yet to come. If you’re a creative person like I am then I highly suggest you let it inspire you like I’m letting it inspire me.
Purple is one of my favorite colors so I was pretty excited about being the color of the year solely because I was excited about incorporating it into my January posts (I got even more excited once I did a little research on the meaning behind the color choice). First up, of course, is makeup…and instead of doing just one ultra violet makeup look, I decided to share 2 ways to add ultra violet to your makeup routine. No matter what your makeup style is I guarantee you’ll be inspired by one of these ultra violet makeup looks.
First up, Ultra Violet Lipstick! Instead of just wearing one shade of purple lipstick I layered 2 colors on top of one another for a fun ombre, matte to ultra glossy lip look!
