Some Like<br />
It Pink<br />
Red is so 2013. Of the top-100 new lipstick<br />
shades last year, pink brought in 23 percent more<br />
dollars according to NPD. “Pink is a health-giving<br />
color that people really gravitate to. The bright,<br />
popping pinks are more energetic and you get that<br />
underlying sensuousness,” says Leatrice Eiseman,<br />
executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.<br />
“We are even seeing more of it in the European<br />
countries and in Asia it is a very popular color as<br />
well.” If these new launches for spring and summer<br />
are any indication, the pink juggernaut shows no<br />
signs of slowing. —ANNA DYSINGER<br />
