It may be October, but we're still loving Pantone's colour of the year for 2018, Ultra Violet.
Described as 'dramatically provative and thoughtful', Ultra Violet has inspired so many makeup looks over the past year and shows no sign of becomng any less influential. From lilac frosted eyes to bold violet lips, we love discovering new ways to wear purple-toned makeup.
