    Every year Pantone® (the world-renowned authority on colour and provider of colour systems) announces their Color Of The Year. Last year, it was Marsala, and the year before that it was Radiant Orchid.

    Trendsetters, designers (and pretty much anyone who likes colours) all over the world wait to see which colour will be named THE ONE for the next year, (Sea Siren even created a nail collection for the 2014 colour) - but this time everyone was surprised when TWO colours were chosen for the honour.

    Pantone® announced the colours, stating on Instagram:

    “It's here! We are proud to announce the Pantone #ColoroftheYear for 2016 is #RoseQuartz & #Serenity.”

    A statement was also released to explain that the reasoning behind choosing both Rose Quartz and Serenity, was to represent wellness and connection “as well as a soothing sense of order and peace”.

    Personally, the rose quartz shade reminds me of fairy floss (YUM!) and serenity seems like a blue you’d find on a My Little Pony, but together they do remind me of a beautiful sunset. You know when the sky turns all those pretty shades of pinks and blues? And to me, you can’t get much more peaceful than that.

    If you’re wondering how you could incorporate these colours into your beauty look, our members have already done the research for you (thanks beauties!) and come up with some shade-matching products:

    The Annabell style would be great to wear for Halloween. I like the blue hair but I wouldn't wear it just admiring it.

    Very pretty colours

    Rose quartz is an absolutely gorgeous colour and Serenity goes really well with it.

    Just looking at the two colours together gives a feeling of serenity. The blue shade is my thing, and I am not normally a pink person but when it's put together with the blue I think they really compliment each other.

    they look nice together

    Temporary Princess 21 Dec 2015 8:23 PM

    I think the easiest way to do so is with nail polish colours!

    ray_jay 13 Dec 2015 2:39 PM

    These are so beautiful and feminine

    Trish_D 12 Dec 2015 6:01 PM

    Just love the concept of rose quartz and serenity. My kind of theme.

    duality 9 Dec 2015 10:22 PM

    As a lip /eye combination they are just beautiful same with nails, lovely

    Snazzie 9 Dec 2015 9:18 AM

    Love love love these colours. They are both beautiful and I'd use them separately or together.

    josella432 8 Dec 2015 8:47 PM

    Love the colours - would like to wear them both on my nails.

    Belle88 8 Dec 2015 8:06 PM

    I love the pink hue! I already love and wear lippies in this shade and nail colour too!

    Evanescencessy 8 Dec 2015 8:03 PM

    I like these two colours though I'm not sure I would wear the blue serenity shade in terms of makeup/nails.

    It's so nice to see a post that mentions the contribution of BH members! Special mention to Petal who's busy doing the research! :)

    Jlgaddes 8 Dec 2015 5:12 PM

    Absolutely adore these colours..........so soft and pretty.

    Beautybabe140194 8 Dec 2015 3:48 PM

    I love these colours and definitely would incorporate these into my makeup look.

    Electra1 8 Dec 2015 3:07 PM

    The blue reminds me of the "blue rinse era"- when the more mature lady used a blue rinse in her hair.

    IndieAna 8 Dec 2015 2:56 PM

    I love both of these colours, and do wear them in makeup looks :)

    Yohanna 8 Dec 2015 2:55 PM

    Wow! beautiful how these girls incorporate them so well in their looks! So refreshing and romantic <3

    Peacock-Phoenix 8 Dec 2015 1:58 PM

    Interesting that they chose two, though I would have thought something really different like yellow could have had its day this year

    freaky 8 Dec 2015 1:48 PM

    Theyre both very pretty colours. Happy with this years choice
