Green With Envy

Unless you've been under a rock, you have heard about the Pantone announcement that emerald is going to be 2013's hottest color trend. If you missed that, chances are you've seen those bright greens creeping into the stores in every form. If you just don't have room in your budget to buy the latest "big thing" - or even if you do - a simple way to incorporate this year's It color is to add some it your makeup collection. Some of you may be thinking "green is not a good color choice" because you aren't sure how to do it. Jewel tones may always be a beauty risk, but that doesn't mean they are a bad one.

There are some wonderful emerald and other shades of green eyeshadows. They can make a fun statement, especially when paired with a neutral outfit. Use the same technique you use to do a smoky eye, but use shades of nudes and greens instead. Not quite feeling brave enough to add such a big pop of color? Show people you are in with the trends with a swipe of  green eyeliner or an emerald manicure.

Are you already wearing the color of the year? How are you doing it?
