Every year, Pantone releases their “Pantone Color of the Year” that will sum up the year ahead. The brand works with color analysts to choose a color based on trend data that we will likely be seeing a lot of. You’ll see this color in graphic designs for marketing advertisements and interior design for homes, and you’ll also see it trickle into the beauty world as a trending color for packaging, merch, nail polish, and makeup looks.
Want to get a head start on integrating some Pantone Color of the Year 2024 items into your makeup routine and lifestyle? Look no further—we break down the new color for 2024, “Peach Fuzz,” as we aim to bring comfort and warmth to our lives in the new year.

Us beauty lovers are lucky. This year’s color is named after that soft hair on our faces that we sometimes elect to dermaplane away. It kind of feels special, like the color of the year was specifically made for us beauty-obsessed individuals to play around with. Run one quick search of “Peach Fuzz” on social media, and you’ll find tons of ways to integrate this trending color into your daily life and makeup self-expression. Shop the shade our favorite ways below!
Want a true peach fuzz-inspired nail? Freedom of Peach by OPI is perfect. There are definitely different interpretations of peach out there, with some more subtle as a neutral undertone of a color and some that lean more coral. But we especially love this one, as we think it's a good mix of not-too-coral and not-too-poppy while also having enough color to make a statement.
Snooze In is more of a rosy peach, making it ideal for all skin tones as it isn’t too light. If you’re on the fence about trying peach fuzz-inspired manicure, start here, as the peach tone leans a little more pink in this formula.
Looking to take the peach fuzz trend head on? Try adding these peach-shaped nail decals to your manicure, which are the perfect accessory for spring. Who doesn’t love a fruity and bright manicure to show off?
If there’s one thing we love (and constantly use), it’s a peach or coral-colored eyeshadow. We love to have items in our makeup bags that pop, and most often you’ll find peach makeup products have subtle golden undertones. That neutrality is what makes the color peach look great on all skin tones. This M·A·C eyeshadow formula can’t be beat and will be a staple in your routine this year.
Yes, in “Lilac”! The “Peach” shade in this collection isn’t quite what we’re looking for, as it’s a bit darker than the trending peach fuzz color. We love these Lid Tints as they’re described as “no rules” makeup, and we co-sign this—we like to apply them with our fingers and gradually build up the pigment.
Sometimes more is more! If you’re looking for the perfect peach fuzz-inspired palette to create endless looks, this one from FENTY BEAUTY is the one. It comes with both matte and shimmer shades and covers the spectrum of peach we discussed with both neutral tones and more coral tones.
Peachy cheeks aren’t just for summer. You can sport peachy cheeks that pop all year long and achieve a fresh flush no matter the season. This blush also has an illuminating element to it and can double as a highlighter.
An iconic coral color from BENEFIT COSMETICS, this matte blush goes on smooth and looks great when you use it both on the apples of your cheeks and on the tip of your nose.
If you prefer a cream blush in a stick format, this one from WESTMAN ATELIER is incredibly creamy and blends well. It leaves skin soft and doesn’t separate, thanks to the ayurvedic oil blend within the formula.
Experience the peach fuzz trend with all sorts of accessories. Remember, the color of the year basically becomes a lifestyle! These SLIP scrunchies are the best to prevent hair breakage. Our editors always have them on their wrists and stashed in their purses. These hair accessories also make the perfect gift for any beauty-loving bestie.
Need something peach fuzz-colored to adorn your vanity? We found it! This brush from TANGLE TEEZER is a great option if you air-dry your hair. But it can also aid in setting your curls to perfection after you style with heat.
Here’s another vanity-worthy item. The DAE mist is ideal for hair that both experiences heat but also needs a hold. It won’t make your hair crunchy like thick-hold hair spray can tend to do, and it smells amazing. We like to spray it both before and after heat styling.
Looking for a reason to buy yet another Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm? Same. You wouldn’t suspect it from the name, but the shade Grapefruit is actually a gorgeous sheer peach color. It glides on lips smoothly and gives the perfect sticky-free shine.
Tinted lip oils are the ultimate it-girl item to have in your bag. This one from MERIT uses quinoa seed oil to moisturize and has blooming pigments that pair with your pH to make the color look a little different on everyone.
This product can be best described as a balmy lipstick that delivers shine like a gloss would. It’s packed with peptides, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and mango butter to keep lips super hydrated and healthy.
While no theres no peach extract in this Peach & Lily cleanser, it will deliver that extra-special peach fuzz vibe to your skincare collection. It’s a fabulous cleanser to use for your first cleanse, since it easily removes makeup and keeps your pores as clean as can be from sebum, dirt, SPF, and makeup.
Japanese peach has amazing hydrating properties and can leave your lips looking plump and restored by morning. This overnight lip mask will be your savior when the weather is cold—just apply it as the final step in your nighttime skincare routine before a full night of beauty sleep.
If you love using micellar water to remove your makeup, you need to try this one from TONY MOLY. It’s multipurpose and great for both cleansing and toning skin. It’s ideal for sensitive or redness-prone skin types as well.
