A/W 2012/13 Trends - Emerald 'Eye'-sle


To be green with envy is a feeling we keep to ourselves, however on the runways of Jason Wu and Roberto Cavalli, the makeup was gorgeous and worth expressing. To me, it evokes the image of the iridescent shell of the scarab.

Many of my friends are scared to try green. I am unsure if it is colour itself or its application. Either way, makeup is fun and should never be terrifying. Hopefully, I can take away the green eyeshadow anxiety by showing how easy it can be worn.

Both of the trends use a metallic green, whilst Cavalli uses more of a forest green, Jason Wu has more of an emerald or teal tone to it.  To make the green stand out the key is to use a base (cream or powder) in either black or green. Here are some gorgeous greens that you won't mind making others covet ;)

  • Bourjois Eyeshadow - Noir Emeraude
  • MAC Eyeshadow - Humid
  • Too Face Eyeshadow - Neptune
  • Cargo Eyeshadow Palette - Tennessee
  • MAC Metal X Cream Shadow - Verdigris
  • Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil - I Have a Green
