ICYMI, Pantone has declared Classic Blue as its 2020 Color of the Year! A hue reminiscent of the sky at dusk, it “brings a sense of peace and tranquility to the human spirit, offering refuge.” The Pantone Color Institute also describes it as “elegant in its simplicity.”
But while Classic Blue generally instills calm, it can also spark confidence, especially in the beauty department, where rocking blue is almost always considered a pretty bold move.
So if you want to make a statement this coming year, read up as we list down eight beauty must-haves in shades similar to Classic Blue:
