Black is Out, Green is In

Take a look around and you will notice one thing: emerald is the new black. Emerald green eyes have already begun to take over runways, social media feeds and inspiration boards.

So if you want to go for the prettiest hue of the season read on to discover our favourite ways to rock a green eye makeup.

Green smokey eye
To create this look, prep your lids with an eye primer or concealer.

Next, layer on your shade of green only over the eyelid and blend it to perfection.

The trick is to create a perfectly blended eye.  So, start with the lightest green in the palette  before layering on the darker shades for depth.

Green smokey eye
Apply a black gel eyeliner on your waterline and a little below it, now choose a green eyeshadow and blend it a little with the liner to create a smoked out effect on your waterline.

Green eyeliner
A green eyeliner can make your eyes pop up instantly just like a black eyeliner.

But for this, use neutral colours on your lid and then draw a bold winged eyeliner using a green eyeliner.

Keep the rest of your make – up looking  natural.
