Beauty Trend: Orange...the HAWT color for 2012!

Ask just about anyone in the Beauty & Fashion industry and they will tell you that orange is the "It" color for Spring 2012....Tangerine Tango, to be exact!  Ever since Pantone LLC, the world authority on color in the design industries, declared Tangerine Tango as the color of the year for 2012 a little over a month ago, celebs and designers have taken a serious liking to this vivacious hue!  Splashes of this citrus shade was seen in various shades on the runways of New York Fashion Week and can be spotted on red carpets and in fashion mags, alike.

Tangerine Tango is described as "a spirited reddish orange" that's sophisticated, seductive and, most of all, dramatic. It is a sunnier and warmer alternative to the traditional red and what makes it even better is that this hue flatters just about every skin tone. I personally love the color orange.  It evokes warmth and vitality which remind me of my favorite time of the year....Summer!  And I am definitely looking forward to playing up my features with this regal tint.  If you are not as eager as I am to jump right into this trend and would like to play it safe with sheerer shades of orange and tangerine, there are tons of makeup options to choose from.  That's the fun part about makeup....you can play around with it until you find what works for you.  And be sure to choose one feature to focus on or else you might right looking like the Syracuse mascot! :)
