…as decreed by Pantone. Hue number 18-2120 is a reddish pink, and I have to say, I must be psychic because I discovered this color about four months ago.

I call this, my year of lips, because since I discovered pinky coral lipstick, I have not stopped wearing it. Sometimes the color is more orange (Mac So chaud) or more pink (Chanel Cambon), but I am madly in love with my bright new pucker.

Maybe it’s turning 50, maybe it’s my refusal to go gently into that good night, maybe I’m superficial, but this color makes me happy.
