Emerald is the unexpected color we keep seeing in the hands of Instagram's most notable makeup artists and on the eyes of our favorite celebrities [1]. The vivid jewel tone looks gorgeous on a variety of skin tones and eye colors but works especially well for those with olive complexions and brown eyes. You'll be seeing this hue everywhere this season, especially in shimmery and metallic finishes.
To re-create the look yourself, pair the bold color with a nude or pale coral lip [2] and cheek so your eyes really stand out. Afraid you won't be able to master it? Pick a cream formula you can blend out with your fingers for easier application, and pile on the black liner and mascara. Check out how everyone from Adriana Lima to Selena Gomez [3] is wearing it ahead, as well as some eye products that will help you achieve the look.
