Color of the Year Creme Lipstick in Tangerine Tango available at Sephora

Sharpen those heels and ruffle that skirt, today, we dance. Clutch a long stem rose between your teeth and let the color consume you as we tango, Tangerine Tango to be exact. Pantone’s color of the year is the perfect hue to work this summer with the colors of a basic wardrobe. It’s chipper demeanor compliments sophisticated neutral shades of white, beige and nude and breathes new life into classic navys and greys. From fashion to cosmetics this brilliant burst  will take your look from a stale two-step to something with a little more latin flavor.

Go all the way with the color of the year by wearing it with complimenting tonal shades and natural accessories. Are you more a romp around town kinda gal or a maxi maven?
