Makeup Wars Takes on the Pantone Colour of the Year Emerald Green


With St. Patrick’s Day coming up it seems like the perfect time to jump right into the Emerald Green trend. I have featured quite a few green looks, like my Edgy Emerald look and Etherial Eyre look,  in the past since I had taken a bit of liking towards green late last year. I thought this time around I would play with a more subtle infusion of green in my look rather than the full on green eye looks I tend to prefer.  Using subtle matte shades to define my eye for a basic look I then drew a dramatic wing with a black liner and topped with my Marcelle Lux Metallic Liquid Eyeliner in Jade. A rich, multifaceted, transparent, glittery green liner. This post will also give you a preview to several products I will be reviewing soon!

Certainly not one of my most exciting looks but I think this is a fun way to incorporate some green into your look if you are uncomfortable with colour.

  12. What a gorgeous liner. It’s fabulous the way you applied it. I love how you showed a way to incorporate a sometimes hard to wear color. I have a Marcelle Cosmetics Olive liquid liner that I love. It’s such a great line. Everyone in the US needs to know they can buy it from Marcelle online now too.

    That is so beautiful… It’s funny, because although you characterise it as not the most exciting, it’s the sort of look (neutral eye, medium to pigmented lip) I do all the time, so it’s nice to see a way of incorporating a little more glamour.
