Rock the coolest color of 2013: Emerald green

These days, green is the new black. And whether you’re an Oz fanatic or suiting up for the big day o’ the Irish (Happy St. Patty’s!), the emerald hue is taking over your eyeliner, mascara, polish and even faux lashes. Exciting as this jewel-toned hue may be, navigating beauty trends can sometimes be as confusing as when Dorothy realized she was no longer in Kansas. Fret not and just follow our lead—we’ve got your ticket into Emerald City.

    Seeing green

    Considered the windows to the soul, eyes are the first things we notice about someone. Sweep on enchanting emerald green, and you’ll hypnotize.

     

    Ways to wear it: Use a gel-based liner that won’t smudge, or work a shade of green into a smoky eye. Or choose the mod way to wear makeup and draw a green line along the crease—just glimpsing a pop of green when you blink.

    Caught green-handed

    Lately, it’s NBD to wear bold shades on our tips. From matte to major glitter, show-stopping nails are all the rage.

     

    Ways to wear it: Have fun with the hue and line a thin silver stripe down the center of leprechaun green nails, or do a French manicure using jade instead of the classic white polish.

    Kiss me, I’m Irish.

    For the seriously brazen girl (we know you’re out there), the green pout is now a trend—and you’re going to rock it. Precious gem-colored lips have been spotted on celebs and on the runways, and there’s no better time to break out the green than this St. Patty’s Day.

     

    Ways to wear it: Take baby steps with a sheer green-tinted gloss, or go all in with a shimmery green lipstick. Either way you wear it, you’ll surely leave your mark.

    Rare gems

    Green eye shadow not enough? Here’s a roundup of fun ways to fit the hue into your big night beauty routine.

     

    Ways to wear it: Make like a runway model and stick individual gemstones onto your lids. Feeling more like a flash? Take lashes to new lengths with a stunning, feathery lime fringe. Or sport a welcome new addition to the nail art trend: nail wraps. Sticking these stunners onto all ten, or even just one or two of your digits will make an unexpected point.  For a hair color change without the commitment, chalk on shades of seafoam to hair ends for a fresh take on the ombre trend.

Err, green makeup with red hair?? NO. I'll look like a christmas elf. Maybe if it were a more brownish green, but it'd have to have LOTS of brown.

If you go to the Kohls website, and type in "SO® Contrast Blazer", that's the one I got (it's the gray one). Thanks Smile

 

Hey Lady Grey, that is soo cute! You can wear that with anything and different colors and patterns too. That would look nice with a dress, shirt, crop top, hoodie, jeans, skirt, shorts, and leggings. Grey, black, white, blue, cream are all colors that would work. Stripes, polka dots and florals would look nice too. A simple outfit would be black leggings/pants with a white top and black shoes and silver accessories. Just mix and match it with different items from your closet. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile

This kinda sounds silly, but I just got a blazer and I have no idea what to wear with it! Any suggestions?? Thanks Smile

 

Hey Lady Grey, no that's not silly at all. I always buy cute stuff and have trouble matching it up with stuff. First, what do the blazer look like? Xoxo Smile

Does anyone know about St. Eros day? It's a Finnish Holiday.

I'm so excited for tomorrow because I'm dressing up for St. Patty's Day and I'm going to see Oz twice!

In a few weeks I'm going to boone for a model un conference. It is a overnight trip. What should I pack?

I'm going to a big city near my town and we're going to a play. We're spending the day in the city first before the play and I don't know what to wear. It's relatively warm (60 degrees) here. Any suggestions?

 

Hey! What about jeans, a t-shirt, and a light jacket? You can always take it off if it's too sunny Smile

MODMODMOD ok so i want to go shopping for a dress for formal soon but when i got the newest issur of gl my bodytype wasnt in it! I am 5'6 and pear shaped also im kinda on larger side so what kind of dress should i wear?

 

Hey! I'm pear shaped too! Smile A-line skirts are flattering as well as pencil-skirts. Tops with a ruffle or similar detail look great too!

Before I read this my nails were already painted emerald green!

Green lipstick is really just a NO. Why would someone think that's cute. Orange is already pushing it, lets not go there.

Play up your frock. Instead of pairing flats or pumps with that summer dress, try adding some edgy boots or sporty sneakers.
