5 Brilliant Makeup Ideas for an Emerald Gaze
While St. Patrick's Day traditionally calls for slipping into something green, this year, celebrate in style and forgo the emerald frock. For a subtle take on festively verdant beauty, why not opt for a jewel-toned eye instead? After all, from a quick glance at Instagram feeds everywhere, fashion's favorite rulebreakers have already gotten a head start.
Celebrity makeup artist Hung Vanngo's riff on a classic cat eye includes dashing a blue-green liner over Emily Ratajkowski's mod wing while Patrick Ta blends a moss-colored shade underneath Joan Smalls' lower lashes—bonus points for a contrasting pale pink shadow on the corners of the eye.
For a high-shine take on the shade, look to model Kristina Sheiter's slicked dark green lids, easily recreated with a deep pigment and a clear eye gloss. But for a truly boundary-pushing take on color? Look no further than Kiko Mizuhara's lemon lime wash, accented with just the right amount of highlighter and a mint brow moment that will inspire even makeup amateurs to plunge wholeheartedly in the trend.
