PERSONAL PANTONE PURPLE.

As I somewhat comically wrote for Notion Magazine- the Pantone colour of the year is

‘Radiant Orchid’. But in real life- is it okay to wear purple eyeshadow or have purple hair?

(I’m not asking is it okay to wear that Tom Ford lipstick cos how could it not be Tom Ford).

Do people wear eyeshadow? It seems quite ironic me asking that considering my job but I’ve

never really ‘got’ eyeshadow past smokey eyes. Colour- isn’t that best left in the 90s?

But since the nineties are back here, there and everywhere, then maybe that’s ok- and Bumble

and bumble’s spray chalk has a slight reminiscence of those hair mascara wands I used to love

to use (especially if there was a Friday night disco).
