INDUSTRY NEWS
Pretty Pastels
Pantone, the renowned
authority on color and provider
of color systems, recently
announced its annual colors
of the year: Rose Quartz and
Serenity. We think these two
colors couldn't be better suited
for new makeup. Rose Quartz,
a soft, muted pink (think lips
and cheeks), and Serenity, a
muted gray-blue (think eyelids
and even lashes), are bound to
inspire perfectly pretty shades,
just in time for spring.

No More Microbeads
Get ready for big changes in skin care products. As one of his
last acts of 2015, President Obama signed a bill that bans
an ingredient so common that nearly every American
home has a product that includes it—plastic microbeads.
Found in body washes, facial scrubs, and soaps
that serve as skin exfoliants, these tiny beads do not
break down as they wash down the drain and end up
polluting waterways. Many companies have already
begun the process of replacing plastic microbeads with
natural, biodegradable ingredients such as apricot seeds,
powdered pecan shells, and rice.
