Get your face out of that scrunch! Yes, it’s the return of green eyeshadow and you will love it.

Get your face out of that scrunch! Yes, it’s the return of green eyeshadow and you will love it.

Why?

Because it’s not the polly wanna cracker green that makeover experts have been dissing for years – even though we recently saw Björk strolling through SoHo with a big streak of parrot shadow under her eyes and it looked sooo cool. But that’s because it’s Björk and she’s exceptionally the exception to most things classic.

The green of-the-moment is slightly glimmery and more a gentle wash of sage than a sharp hit of astro turf… we are particularly enamored of Urb from Urban Decay Eye Shadow, although the color is popping up for spring in most fashion-forward cosmetic brands.

Smudge a light veil of the color or layer it up, the result is absolutely modern. Go with it!
