Pantone describes emerald, its Color of the Year 2013, as “lively, radiant, lush–a color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being balance and harmony.” We have already seen this striking color grace the runways, award shows and magazine covers. Here are some of our favorite emerald beauty products that can keep you on trend and lend a fun pop of color to your look.
NARS: Duo Eyeshadow: Mad Mad World: $34
This product is a duo of green and blue eyeshadow that can be worn together or separately. The eyeshadow colors go on smooth and are easily blendable. Try the green as eyeshadow and the blue as a liner for a dramatic look.
Make Up For Ever: Aqua Liner: Iridescent Emerald Green: $23
The Aqua Liner, high precision waterproof liquid liner, is rich in pigments. The applicator gives you the option to apply a thin or thick line. The iridescence makes this product a winner.
Butter London: British Racing Green Nail Lacquer: $15
A little darker than a true emerald green, it has been the backstage “darling” of many fashion shows.
YSL: Volume Effet Faux Cils: 21 Emerald Green: $30
An award winning mascara that has volume and long lasting effectiveness. The product features a coating film for intensity and a conditioning film with pro-vitamin B5 and aloe vera for curves. The green is subtle and is especially flattering against a brown eye.
Bobbi Brown: Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow Stick: Forest: $28
This is a cool emerald green cream eyeshadow that glides on and can be used to shade, define, smoke or highlight the eye. Its formula makes it last for up to 8 hours without creasing, flaking or fading. It is a fan favorite and can add as much or as little green to your look.
MAC Cosmetics: Pigment: Emerald Green: $21
MAC Pigment is a highly concentrated loose powder that can be used to create a subtle or dramatic look. The pigments do not streak or cake when applied to the face. Pigments can be used on top of or in place of eyeshadow, liner or even mixed with lip colors. These pigments are a huge favorite of ours and come in a variety of colors.
Have a happy 2013 with emerald.
