Pantone has just announced that Ulta Violet is the 2018 Color of the Year and we’re already thinking what would be perfect matches in terms of makeup.

According to the Associated Press, the color experts at Pantone said the deep purple shade was chosen for 2018 “to evoke a counterculture flair, a grab for originality, ingenuity and visionary thinking.”

Ultra Violet follows Pantone's 2017 Color of the Year, Greenery.

So here are our beauty matches for Ultra Violet:

MAC Heroine lipstick and scent

The scent, which is part of MAC’s Shadescents collection which matches the brand’s most popular lipsticks, contains notes of saffron, incense smoke and cordovan leather. The lipstick is a bright purple that would look great on practically any skin tone.

Burberry Lip and Cheek Bloom in Purple Tulip

We’ve been eyeing this one for a while (I have the one in Poppy) and it’s now probably the right time to get it. This is one of my favorite products because it is versatile (can be used on cheeks and lips) and works on the face even when worn alone. Note: I like this more as a blush than as a lip product.

Maybelline Color Sensational Loaded Bolds Lipstick in Fearless Purple

You can’t go wrong with Maybelline, honestly. It’s inexpensive and very very millennial in terms of its products. Maybelline is a brand that is very millennial, I must say. Fearless Purple is a very fashionable shade. It’s something that I wouldn’t wear during the day but younger girls would!

Burt’s Bees Lipstick in Wine Wave

This color is for the timid and those who are intimidated to wear full on purple on their lips. This lipstick gives color and coverage and moisturizes lips. The packaging is made from 60 percent recycled plastic.

So what are your Ultra Violet picks for 2018?
