Pantone’s Colour of the Year has been announced for 2020, and though we’re moving into a new decade, for those in the beauty industry, the shade has us having flashbacks to the 80s.
Classic Blue has taken top spot, described by the company as “instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.”
And as for how the shade translates in the beauty world, Pantone said, “in the ultimate display of personal expression, Pantone 19-4052 Classic Blue makes a dramatic statement for eyes, nails, and hair in a variety of finishes from glittery and glam to dusty matte.”
So in celebration, BD has rounded up 10 brands already repping the blue hue.
