Top Pantone Spring 2014 Color #1: Dazzling Blue

Pantone's 18-3949, more easily remembered as Dazzling Blue, comes across perfectly with the help of Jin Soon's Blue Iris nail polish — coincidentally already a huge color right now.

Top Pantone Spring 2014 Color #2: Violet Tulip

Try Sephora's Color Hit Nail Polish in Catch Me Lavender to closely match Pantone's chosen shade.

Top Pantone Spring 2014 Color #3: Radiant Orchid

Bite Beauty's High Pigment Matte Pencil in Violet will give your lips the dose of color more than 15 percent of designers gave their collections.

Top Pantone Spring 2014 Color #4: Celosia Orange

One out of every ten designers utilized this pop of color for spring, making Celosia Orange fourth on Pantone's list. Fortunately for us, Marc Jacobs decided to make a cosmetics collection in time for us to steal the color early, thanks to his All the Way shade.

Top Pantone Spring 2014 Color #5: Freesia

Coming in fifth place, Freesia, a color more than 8 percent of womenswear designers used for the upcoming season. Hop on early with a flick of this rich yellow-gold eyeliner.
