Living Coral: How to wear Pantone's Colour of the Year

The official Pantone Colour of the Year has been announced, and unlike this year’s dark purple hue, 2019’s shade can be added into your everyday makeup look in much more wearable way.

Aptly named, Living Coral, Pantone describes the colour as, "an animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energises and enlivens with a softer edge.”
