BASF's Colors & Effects brand has partnered with Pantone Color Institute for the launch of the Fall/Winter 2020/2021 and Spring/Summer 2021 color trend forecasts for cosmetic and personal care colors and effects.
The forecast, dubbed "Time to Break Free," is the result of analyzing both consumer research and fashion trends. It is inspired by themes of tranquility, peace, privacy and “me time” to escape everyday stresses, BASF explained.
Time to Break Free is made up of two seasonal trends—“Incognito” for Fall/Winter 2020/2021 and “Bliss” for Spring/Summer 2021.
