This year, Living Coral was chosen to be the Pantone colour of the year, 2019 and everybody loves it. Pantone has described the colour as an “animating and life-affirming coral hue.” The colour represents the essence of nature and how we need to work towards saving it in every way possible, as that is the only way to survive at present and in the future. The exciting futuristic and moody tones of ‘Living Coral’ are likely to dominate your clothing, wallpaper, centrepieces and what not!

Make-up
Coral has long been one of the most popular make-up colors because it’s flattering and easy to wear, but it also lends itself to bolder looks. And while lots of Living Coral-inspired products are bound to launch in 2019, there are also plenty of already-available items that can help you incorporate the Color of the Year into your beauty look. Go all out with your make-up by experimenting with coral shades on your lips and on your eyes. You can truly never have enough coral make-up products.
Hair
Coral will be the protagonist in the realms of beauty and hair. This colour is super vibrant and pop and it can be applied in various ways. It is a very bold hair look, which is difficult to wear every day. However, it is certainly unique, and during the Christmas holidays it will not be unnoticed.
Heels
Adding new heels in your shoe closet is the best way to embrace any trend that is hot. Ditch your boring black and white heels and opt for a pop of colour. Walk the talk with your Living Coral-hued shoes.
