Peach Fuzz
Peach Fuzz is the Pantone 2024 colour of the year. Here we outline what that means and how to get on-trend with this relaxed and comforting colour.
What is the Pantone Colour of the year?
Each year Pantone identifies what it thinks will be the dominant colour influencing make-up, fashion, graphic design, home décor and so much more. For 2024 that colour is peach fuzz.
Why peach fuzz?
Peach fuzz is familiar, cosy, warm and comforting colour. It evokes feelings of kindness and tenderness, of community and togetherness. Rather than bold and brazen it’s relaxed, subtle and slow. A colour to provide a space of tender comfort in a stressful world.
Peach fuzz in cosmetics.
Peach fuzz-inspired makeup seeks to enhance the skin's natural radiance and embrace imperfections rather than conceal them. The goal is to achieve a youthful, fresh-faced look that exudes effortless beauty. Think soft, diffused blushes in peachy hues, sheer lip tints that mimic the natural colour of flushed lips, and luminous highlighters that impart a dewy glow.Peach fuzz works on a very wide range of skin tones and is a colour you can apply to eyes, cheeks and lips for a simple monochromatic look that looks more natural and youthful.
Peach fuzz makeup aligns perfectly with the growing movement towards natural beauty and skin positivity. By celebrating the skin's natural texture, this trend encourages individuals to embrace their unique features and feel confident in their own skin. It's about enhancing what you already have rather than striving for perfection.
In terms of application, the peach fuzz trend is all about blending and softening. Whether you're applying blush, eyeshadow, or lipstick, the key is to use light, feathery strokes to create a seamless, airbrushed effect. The result is a soft, romantic look that enhances your natural beauty without overpowering it.
