From Gucci to YSL and Pat McGrath, here's how to bring the potentially political hue into your everyday

It&rsquo;s that time of year again - Pantone has announced their 2020 Colour of the Year! The star shade is Classic Blue, and the world-renowned brand has some thoughts about why. This&nbsp;deep blue colour is &ldquo;meant to symbolise protection, stability, peace, and confidence, as well as encourage deep thinking, open mindfulness, and communication,&rdquo; as per a statement from the company. Heading into the new year and new decade, we couldn&rsquo;t be more here for channeling powerful, peaceful energy all of 2020.&nbsp;

Classic Blue follows 2019&rsquo;s Pantone Colour of the Year, <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/Culture/pantone-colour-of-the-year-2019-living-coral">Living Coral</a>,&nbsp;and was announced alongside a &ldquo;multisensory experience,&rdquo; including sight, sound, texture, scent, and taste. It&rsquo;s the first multisensory colour in the company&rsquo;s history, and the brand offers ways to connect the colour to each of your five senses (it feels like velvet and tastes like elegance). Classic Blue is exactly that - a classic shade that belongs in every crayon box, living room, and closet.

You&rsquo;ll find Classic Blue almost everywhere, including politics. In a statement,&nbsp;Laurie Pressman, the Vice President of the Pantone Colour Institute,&nbsp;said, &ldquo;The Pantone Colour of the Year highlights the relationship between trends in colour and what is taking place in our global culture at a moment in time, a colour that reflects what individuals feel they need that colour can hope to answer.&rdquo;&nbsp;So...&nbsp;did Pantone go political? It seems possible, as the language implies a double meaning to the choice.

Want to channel Classic Blue as you enter the new year? With tons of vibrant makeup options everywhere from YouTube to Euphoria,&nbsp;what better way to explore the Colour of the Year than through makeup? Below, we&#39;ve rounded up 10&nbsp;blue beauty products that will make a perfect addition to your vanity.
