We hope the you had great Memorial Day weekend and are as excited for summer’s start as we are. We are heating up our blog with our inspiration of the day:  Pantone’s 2012 color of the year, Tangerine Tango- a shade that epitomizes energy and exotic radiance. Though we love this color for summer, the versatility of this vivacious hue makes it an award-winning “go-to” year round. Tangerine Tango is our focus today as we share some images from the Colorfly album that incorporate the attention-grabbing color.

A fleeting moment of vivid beauty, the Colorfly collection acts like the butterfly, providing brisk glimpses of a forceful and eye-catching juxtaposition of dramatic shades against the subtle undertone of a human figure.

Our tangerine lips are bursting with vibrance like NARS Semi Matte Lipstick in Heat Wave and shine using gloss like NARS Lip Gloss in Wonder. While we’ve been focused on the color of year, we can’t help but love the rest f the colors in the collection. Get inspired to imitate this color palette with products like MAC Cosmetics’ highly pigmented color in Electric Eel, Jealousy Wakes, Chrome Yellow, and Parfait Amour. Though butterflies aren’t common in a practical beauty regimen, having fluttering, luscious lashes like Urban Decay’s False Lashes can easily mimic wings to complete this electrifying look.
