Around this time of year Pantone likes to announce their prediction for the colour of the year, and this year the colour in question is Marsala.
No, it's not a curry, but rather an earthy brown-red colour with warm undertones. It translates across both interiors and fashion, however it's not the first time this particular shade has been en vogue for beauty. By all accounts 90s beauty is having a big revival this season, and if Marsala is anything to go by it looks like a trend which will continue into 2015.
The best thing about this colour is the various iterations it can come in. To try something more subtle a brown-pink toned lipstick like Mac's Amorous is a good starting point. Or dab some of Maybelline's Colour Tattoo in Pomegranate onto the outer corners of your eyes for a bolder look.
