Viva Magenta is the colour to wear for next year, as Pantone has crowned it their colour of 2023.
Expect to see more vibrant pink makeup releases across the coming months – but you can already get a head start to see in the new year.
Magenta might seem scary to wear, or perhaps you’re pink adverse, with it feeling too girly, but bold strong magentas flatter just about everyone – it’s all in how you wear it.
From sheered out washes of pink to vibrant statements, magenta goes on eyes, lips, cheeks and nails with ease.
We’ve picked out some of the best options to embrace the colour trend, at a range of price points.
NARS Blush in Coeur Battant
It doesn’t come more magenta than this – and it’s sold out in most places. For a post-workout flush, dab slightly higher on the cheeks than usual.

Add a subtle pink accent, such as eyeliner, to try the trend. At just £4.99, you can see how much you like magenta without the big investment.

The Amplified formula is one of MAC’s best, with it’s hydrating, shiny, and plump finish.
