07 Feb You Make Me Blush
We’ve been flirting for a while now so it should come as no surprise, that we too have fallen in love with blush tones and cosmetic hues. “You Make Me Blush” is a sophisticated, sensitive and soft cosmetic pink.
Attractive without being overbearing, this feminine, refined, faint hue has commenced a new wave of blush tones & cosmetic hues with far more edge than ever before. “You Make Me Blush” is slightly softer, slightly more yellow version of Rose Quartz, one of the two shades chosen for Pantone’s color of the year 2016. For a color reference, find Pantone color #9022U OR Pratt & Lambert’s Sunset Snow 3-2.
This color of the month derived directly from “Blush + Plush” one of our 2016 trend directions.
A growing trend, Blush+Plush combines the warmth of chunky knit sweaters and layered cashmere with soft cosmetic hues. The soft materials compliment the faint blush giving off a cozy look and feel.
Blush tones allow us the opportunity to build on the enduring popularity of neutrals, especially grays. Blush + Plush features a serene and soft, warm color palette that not only includes blush, but oatmeals, buttery creams, chalky tones and clay. Blush + Plush is not only a color trend, but a material trend focusing on mixed materials which may include chunky knits, feathers, fringe, suede, felts, macrame and chiffon. Think SOFT.
