The Pantone Color of The Year in Makeup Looks
Once upon a modern-day, in a world brimming with color and creativity, a hue named "Peach Fuzz" was crowned the Pantone Color of the Year for 2024. This wasn't just any color; it was a symbol of warmth, comfort, and a fresh start. WarPaint International Beauty Agency, known for its on-site makeup artistry, embraced this trend with open arms, creating makeup looks that pay homage to this delightful shade. Their mission? To empower everyday women with the confidence to wear these trends to their special events, not just admire them from afar on fashion runways.
The "Peach Fuzz" Phenomenon
Pantone's selection of "Peach Fuzz" as the color of the year resonated deeply with women seeking a touch of softness and approachability in their makeup. According to a survey by the Global Color Authority, about 68% of women felt more inclined towards makeup shades that conveyed a sense of comfort and optimism in 2024. WarPaint International's adoption of this trend in their makeup services is a response to this growing desire.
The Psychology Behind Peach Fuzz
According to Tiffany Hanken Design’s blog, Pantone’s selection of Peach Fuzz is not just about aesthetics; it’s a reflection of the collective mood. Pantone often chooses colors that resonate with the current societal pulse. This year, Peach Fuzz symbolizes a tender, compassionate outlook, representing a global desire for gentleness and understanding. This is, after all, where we all long to be… in a comfortable place that makes us feel at ease with the world and our own spaces.

These looks are versatile, and designed for the real woman who books on-site makeup appointments for events ranging from corporate galas to intimate dinner dates, fashion shows, and more! Each look has a description by the Artisan who shared the products used in their own submission.

Wearable Glamour: Peach Fuzz Makeup Look No. 2
Our second Peach Fuzz-inspired makeup look was created by Artisan Maggie Wiermaa on our Minneapolis/St. Paul team.
I wanted my look to be wearable, glamorous, and elegant. Easily worn to a formal event or for a fun night out. I love sparkly eyes so I chose to wrap rhinestones (I found on Amazon) around each eye using “original” Duo lash glue and a jewel applicator (also on Amazon) to secure each one.
This look could be worn without the rhinestones to the same type of events or a daytime look. I lined the inner eye upper and lower with Mac “graph black” liner. I used Kiss “trio” lashes along with the previous Duo lash glue and placed 4 on top with a little space in between each one and two on the outer corners of the bottom lashes after first applying Lancôme “cils boost” eyelash primer and Mac “in extreme dimension” mascara.
For the foundation, I used Mac “Studio Fix Fluid” for a little more coverage as I’m dealing with a breakout at the moment. I set with Mac “mineralized skinfinish” powder followed by a Mac contour in “bone beige”, NARS blush in “Montezuma” and Mac “mineralize skinfinish soft and gentle” for the highlight on the upper cheekbone, nose, and brow bone.
For the lips, I used Maybelline lip vinyl in “peachy” and a clear gloss on top. Don’t forget your setting spray! I love a combo of first spraying MAC prep and prime “fix + spray” for hydration and Urban Decay “All-nighter spray” to really hold it in place. I hope, with this look, you can easily incorporate a peachy vibe into your everyday routine or glamorous night out!
The rhinestones will be your final step. I kept the eye pretty simple otherwise. Prepped with MAC “painterly” paint pot. Then topped with a blended-out peachy tone from the Morphe “pretty in peach” palette on the whole lid to above the crease. Then press on Urban Decay's “midnight cowboy” moon dust shadow on the lid to the crease and inner corner of the eyes - top and underneath.
Whimsical Energy: Peach Fuzz Makeup Look No. 3
Our third Peach Fuzz-inspired makeup look was created by Artisan Keely Boline on our Minneapolis/St. Paul team.

Subtle Peach Day Look
For those daytime events or brunches, WPI Beauty Artisans suggest a subtle peach eye shadow, paired with a light peach blush and a nude-peach lip. It's a look that's both refreshing and sophisticated, perfect for making a statement without overpowering your natural beauty.
Glowing Peach Evening Glamour
As the sun sets, the Peach Fuzz transforms. WPI Beauty Artisans recommend a deeper peach tone on the eyelids, a hint of golden highlighter for that extra glow, and a bolder peach lip. This look brings a sense of evening elegance, ideal for galas or night events.
