It’s got those ’90s overtones and a spirit ablaze that we love. And it’s definitely not for the feeble. The world’s colour authority, Pantone, has declared Viva Magenta, a dopamine-boosting concoction of pink and red as the colour of the season.
To channel the festive-meets-French girl hue into your beauty look, try a bold magenta lip like Lily Collins, a vivacious flush on the cheeks or a gilded metal eyeshadow for the wedding season. It’s also a no-brainer for a retina-burning manicure, and we mean this in all the right ways. Keep the focus on one feature for a larger-than-life impact.
