For the third year in a row, Sephora has teamed up with Pantone to produce a collection based on the color of the year, and for 2014, it's all about Radiant Orchid. So electric purple may not sound like the most universally flattering shade, but at a sneak peek for the Sephora and Pantone NYC pop-up greenhouse (check it out at West 29th Street and Sixth Avenue today, March 28, through Saturday, March 29), we saw it tested out on a wide variety of skin tones and ages — it looked good on everyone. And if we weren't already sold, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon of Opening Ceremony revealed that the collection was used on their models for their Fall 2014 show. That's all the cool cred we could ask for. Check out some of our favorites from the collection right here.
