The look of lilac - 2014 hero colour

Did you see Rita Ora's stunning make up at the Grammys? If not then stop everything you are doing and google it immediately!!! 

Perfectly summing up the shade of the year (not even season!) Rita's mua Kathy Jeung paired lilac eyes with flawless skin, a divine glow and pale pastel pink lips. Impeccable. The products used are listed on Kathy's Instagram. 

So why is lilac so hot right now? It's been simmering for a couple of years, with hints of lilac in fashion and make up. And now there's a full on explosion with Radiant Orchid named the colour of 2014 by Pantone. 

It's also been seen on a number of spring summer 2014 catwalks including Peter Pilotto and Holly Fulton.  And has been on a number of beautiful faces including Emily Blunt and Georgia May Jagger.

As well as a perfect lilac eyeshadow in my Coastal Scents palette, I have three fab lipsticks in this colour family, from left to right in pic below: 
Stargazer 115- a cool matte 
Mac Viva Glam Nicki 2 amplified- a warm, pinkier shade and my favourite if the three
Kaoir Racquel- a deeper blue toned shade, closer to Georgia's below 

So take your cue from Rita and use on the eyes, or from Nicki and pop on the lips- or if you're not feeling brave enough for that then wear on your nails or toenails. Enjoy experimenting my lilac lovelies!
