Step-by-Step: Emerald Eye Makeup

A diamond may be a girl’s best friend, but this season, our jewel tone of choice is emerald. Drawing inspiration from the lush tropics, we’ve blended shades of green to create a look that truly sparkles.


1

EYELINER PENCIL

Start by applying dark green eyeliner to your upper and lower lash line. Pick a shade that’s almost black for a dramatic effect.





2

EMERALD GREEN

Then, select two shades of green: a metallic pencil in emerald, and an olive cream-based eye shadow. Apply the pencil to your eye socket, paying particular attention to the inner corner of your eye. Rim your lower lash line as well, using a brush to blend with your eyeliner. Now, apply the olive colour to the outer corner of your eyelid, working up towards your brow bone. Be sure to blend the two colours together.

MASCARA

Gently curl your eyelashes and follow with mascara on both your top and bottom lashes. Apply several coats - you want that “wow-effect”!






4

LIPS

Complete the look with a neutral lip – a warm beige tone will be perfect.
