Ultraviolet Beauty Vibes!
By Frances Feldmann, Mommy In Los Angeles® Magazine Beauty Contributor & Founder, On Location Glam®
I think Pantone’s 2018 color of the year Ultraviolet is making a pretty strong arrival. There’s still a few days left before the New Year’s Eve Festivities but I’m seeing purple everywhere… including makeup shelves at beauty stores.
Purple has power. And if you’re hoping to channel your ultra cool, ultraviolet mom side, I found half a dozen beauty products to assist you in that arena.
Here are my favorite ultraviolet-influenced makeup products and how I used the ultraviolet color scheme on a model recently for a photo shoot. The dramatic look of the model pictured above with a purple rhinestone choker is fun and intense…but I still prefer the soft and romantic look:
