As adventurous as I usually am with eyeshadows and glitter (I have pretty much every shade of the rainbow as well as those found nowhere in nature), when it comes to blush I usually stick to boring neutrals and shimmery bronzes. Snooze fest, I know. But when Pantone’s 2011 color of the year, honeysuckle, is calling your name and let’s face it — it’s much easier to wear than turquoise (beauty-wise, that is) — what better excuse do you need to jump onboard the trend and embrace the color that’s been bestowed with Pantone’s annual honor? Honeysuckle, a peachy-pink, is a gorgeous way to brighten up your winter beauty routine to transition into spring. Of course when it comes to blush, pulling off a hue on any skintone is much easier said than done, but with the right formula and variation on the shade that’s right for you (sheer washes are a safe bet for those not well-practiced with bright blushes), Honeysuckle isn’t quite as intimidating as it looks, as long as you play it cool with the rest of your makeup!
