11 Ways to Wear Pantone’s 2015 Color of the Year

On The Lips:
Make a bold statement with Kevyn Aucoin The Expert Lip Color in Dantrice, a highly pigmented, velvety soft lipstick that packs a punch. $35, nordstrom.com

TIP: Pair a strong lip like this one with a simple, natural-looking complexion and megawatt black lashes.

If lip balms are more your thing, Laura Geller Love Me Dew Moisturizing Lip Crayon in Plum Freeze will quickly become your new go-to. Vitamin E keeps your lips smooth and soft while imparting shiny, slightly sheer color. $16, laurageller.com

Use Paul & Joe Lip Liner Duo in Grapevine (03) to lock your lip color in for a long-lasting result or blend each end to create a custom version of the “Marsala” shade that best fits your look. $25, beautyhabit.com

On The Cheeks:

Bobbi Brown Blush in Berry-Reddish Wine features a feel-good formula that glides on smooth and silky, lasts all day and never leaves behind a dry feeling. $27, bobbibrowncosmetics.com

Chock-full of satiny, triple-milled minerals, Mineral Fusion Blush in Airy lends a pop of color to your cheeks so that they look slightly brighter than a natural flush, but never overdone. Bonus: The antioxidant-rich formula also defends against free-radical damage. $22, mineralfusion.com

TIP: Apply this color just along the apples of your cheeks and along your cheekbones to provide contour, layering as you go until you reach your desired look.

Sephora + Pantone Universe Cooling Marsala Multi is ideal for highlighting and contouring, or just adding a sheer wash of color to your cheeks. Plus, the caffeine and coconut oil–based stick cools on contact and also provides some de-puffing action (great for early mornings!). $25. Coming to Sephora December 2014.

On The Eyes:

Create two different color-trend looks with YOUNGBLOOD Incredible Wear Gel Liner in Sienna, which can be used as either a smudgeproof eyeliner or a pigmented eye shadow for a sultry smoky eye. $21, ybskin.com

Add some sparkle to your “Marsala” with Lancôme Hypnôse Dazzling in Rouge Cabaret, a limited-edition, richly colored eye shadow that creates an intense effect. $30, lancome-usa.com

According to Pantone, “Marsala” illuminates a range of smoky-neutral color combinations, making it a captivating eye shadow color that can be worn from morning to night. Clinique Wear Everywhere Neutrals lets you enhance the sophisticated wine-like hue with a combination of complementary shades in both matte and shimmer. $36, clinique.com

On The Nails:

No look is complete without a flawless mani. This supercharged formula, Nails Inc NAILKALE Polish in Holland Walk, is kale-infused and packed with vitamins to not only deliver top-notch color, but also protect and strengthen your nails. $14, sephora.com

Pantone says that “Marsala” pairs exquisitely with monochromatic mixes of peachy pinks and sparkles against antiqued gold metallics. Designed to supply long-lasting shine, LONDONTOWN Lakur Enhanced Colour in Pass the Port is a deep reddish-brown with a hint of metallic, which makes it a perfect pick to show off the trendy hue. $16, londontownusa.com
