PANOTNE COLOUR OF THE YEAR - MARSALA | PRODUCTS & SWATCHES

Hello Beauties! Pantone has recently released the colour of the year, this year it is Marsala 18-1438. A colour described as “a naturally robust and earthy wine red”. According to my internet research it is described a purple tone red also, so in this case it seem to be a multitude of colours! 

I have scrumiged around my own colours and it was surprisingly difficult to find the right tone of colour for this post! I found a couple of products with a colour tone similar or exact to Marsala, lets have a look shall we.. 

Here are my findings! I have a handful of products that have similarities in colour. 

From left to right in the picture below. 

NYX Love in Paris Eyeshadow Palette
The top row, far right shade. It has more of a cranberry feel to in and also swatches a little lighter then what i had hoped. However on the eye with a primer it applies a little bit darker and is somewhat close to the desired shade. 

OFRA Lip Liner - Maya 
This is a true marsala colour! I love this lip pencil, this brand seems to be quite foreign in Australia, considering that i recieved this in a American subscription service it may be a little difficult for us aussies to find, none the less it is a true marsala shade and i couldn;t not include it! 

NYX Round Lipstick - Snow White 
Again, this is a true marsala colour, i again love this shade! If you are not familiar with these lipsticks, you need to! They are very creamy, opaque and comfortable to wear on the lips.  

Hikari Lipstick - Cabernet 
This lipstick swatches a little more pink then i had hoped for, it the tube it looks alot more red. On the lips they look true to the tube colour, this again came from a lipmonthly subscription box, so it may be a little bit more difficult for us aussies to get a hold of. 

NYX Ultra Pearl Mania - Penny Pearl 
These little beauties truely are amazing, so affordable to! This colour may look a little off on the swatch because of its metallic finish, but when it is applied on the eyes it really is a beautiful marsala colour. 

Maybelline Colour Tattoo - Pomegranate Punk
This is a great example of the more purple tone marsala, it is still a wine colour but a more purple wine. If you have never tried these maybelline colour tattoo, you must try them, you will be in for a serious treat! 

BH Cosmetics Eyeshadow -  BHWM05
This little beauties retail for around a dollar each! This shade in the pan is a perfect marsala shade, swatched however, its lighter in colour on camera. When it is applied to the skin it actually seems darker then what it is the pan. The most affordable option there is and it is one of my favourites! 

Thats it! Let me know in the comments what you guys think of the colour of the year, personally i am excited to see what people come up with. I know i certainly will be doing tutorials and looks with this look!
