The 2015 Pantone color of the year is Marsala. It's a bit of a deep purplish brown. Last year we had Radiant Orchid, which was more vibrant. But the vibrancy of Radiant Orchid also made it a little difficult to pull off. That's not the case with Marsala. This deeper color is much richer, and also much more friendly to a variety of skin tones. Here are my makeup picks--both luxe and less--for Pantone's Marsala. What do you think of the color?
