Best Beauty Buys Inspired by Pantone's Color of the Year 2024
From sheer lipstick to dewy blush, welcome to the year of “Peach Fuzz.”
Another year, another incredibly unexpected Pantone Color of the Year announcement. Following last year’s bright and mysterious “Viva Magenta,” 2024 is all about the softer “Peach Fuzz.” A blend between terracotta and apricot, this buzzy hue looks sensual, youthful and sophisticated.
“Peach Fuzz” is said to be a melange of feelings, evoking a sense of enchanting poetry. Following the trend prediction that wellness will be on the forefront of everyone’s minds in 2024, this color reminds us to hold space for community and sanctuary. It’s romantic and sweet, taking us into a new era of modernity—one that is hopeful for a utopia filled with wonderfully sweet things.
When it comes to beauty, the Pantone team states that the shade “Enlivens the skin, adding soft warmth to eyes, lips and cheeks making all who wear it appear more healthy.” They recommend pairing the color with “earthy browns for a fresh look” and “deep reds and plums” if you want something dramatic.
So, we’re here to get you started with a list of beauty products that we’re loving for this year’s Pantone Color of the Year, from a buildable, sheer lip to a hydrating liquid blush.

Rituel de Fille Enchanted Lip Sheer in “Narcissus”
Bold and pigmented, this sheer lipstick from Rituel de Fille wears comfortably all day long. With the feel of a hydrating balm, it’s buildable so you can create whichever kind of look you like. With a semi-matte finish, this shade is the perfect blend of opaqueness without looking too dry.
Tom Ford Bitter Peach Eau du Parfum
If you’re opting to look like a peach, you might as well smell like one, too. This fragrance is alluring and sweet, with notes of pêche de vigne and Sicilian blood orange oil that feel like the peak of ripeness. It is finished off with patchouli and sandalwood, an earthy tone that grounds the scent.
Half Magic Eyeshadow Singles in “Matte Peach”
With all the product you need in just one swipe, this single eyeshadow goes on smoothly and the formula is perfect solo or in combination with another color. Bonus points for zero fall-out and major color payoff.
NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip Lip Gloss in “Follow Back”
The NYX Fat Oil Lip Gloss has taken the beauty world by storm. Made with vegan squalene, this high-shine lip product gives you up to 12 hours of hydration with zero sticky mess. Wear it solo or paired with a lip liner for a more intense look.
Saie Beauty Liquid Cheek Flush Dew Blush
Beloved for its ability to seamlessly melt into skin, Saie’s Liquid Cheek Flush is a cream-gel formula that looks effortlessly natural. We love its big doe-foot applicator because of its ability to tackle a quick look or a more dedicated beat. Did we mention that it’s meant to hydrate and brighten skin? Additionally, ingredients like evening primrose and elderberry work to give you glow from within.
LYS Beauty Higher Standard Satin Matte Cream Blush in “Kindness”
Scared of using cream products but always wanted to try them? We suggest going for LYS Beauty’s Higher Standard Blush. It’s buildable without the chalky finish of a powder blush but its secret weapon, Kaolin Clay, helps make pores look smaller and absorbs excess oil.
Dae Signature Duo Set
Although it’s technically not going to turn your hair peach, this shampoo and conditioner set is the perfect way to blend the Pantone Color of the Year into your bathroom decor. The products smell incredible and work to clean hair without stripping it of its essential oils as well as deliver deep hydration and strengthening capabilities.
Dior Nail Vernis Nail Polish in “Tutu”
This nail polish from Dior is pretty, timeless and made to last. Easy to apply, the formula includes extracts of peony and pistachio—ingredients that enhance color and give your nail lacquer more depth. The best part about this product? Its glossy finish resembles a top coat and it’s built to be as strong as gel.
Ami Colé Lip Treatment Oil in “5/17”
If you’ve never tried lip oil, we’d definitely recommend starting as soon as possible. Ami Colé’s Lip Treatment Oil gives you the look of a gloss without that sticky feel, plus subtle and shimmery color. This product wears so comfortably, you won’t even notice you have anything on.
Juvia’s Place Garden of Juvia Lip Reflect Gloss in “Pink Bae”
A soft, peachy shade with a bit of shimmer, this long-wear lip gloss from Juvia’s Place plumps your lips for hours. “Pink Bae” in particular is creamy and smooth yet, it maintains a shiny appearance when applied.
