So long radiant orchid, hello marsala

Nars Blush in Almería, $30
This limited edition blush is part of Nars' holiday collection, Laced With Edge, complete with the adorable laser-cut packaging pattern we swooned over when it first came out. The warm blush looks beautiful on everyone, but it's particularly pretty on darker skin tones.

L'Oreal Infallible Le Rouge in Always Apricot, $10
If you've always shied away from a bold red lip, a richer marsala shade is the perfect color to help you transition into the classic look. This L'Oreal lipstick is more earthy than typical reds, with brown undertones.

Vincent Longo Duo Lip Pencil in Wine/Rosewood, $26
Keep marsala-stained lips intact with a coordinating lip liner like this dual-ended one from Vincent Longo. The Rosewood end is a perfect match for Pantone-colored lip colors, while the Wine shade pairs with deeper plum and burgundy shades.

This eyeshadow palette contains 20 matte, shimmer and satin shades that can create anything from a neutral eyeshadow look to a brighter, Electric Daisy-esque look. But the shade we're hitting the bottom of -- Sonic, the shimmery wine-colored eyeshadow that's a near match for Pantone's Color of the Year.

Becca Cosmetics Glossy Lip Tint in Marsala, $23
We've been seeing a resurgence of '90s style brown lipsticks everywhere lately, and honestly, it's taken us a while to find a flattering way to wear the look. This is it. This glittery red-brown gloss is more flattering than a matte formula, and the shimmery particles make lips look fuller and more defined.

Just when we finally figured out how to successfully pull off purple lipstick, the Pantone Color Institute announced their 2015 Color of the Year -- marsala. And we couldn't be more excited (about a color). Pantone describes the shade as, "a naturally robust and earthy wine red." The rich red is easy to pull off whether you're wearing a marsala blush, marsala lipstick or perfect-for-holidays marsala nail polish. But who are we kidding -- we're snatching up all three.
