Emerald Green was Pantone colour of the year in 2013 and as it filters here and there into high fashion, we wonder, can we actually wear green lipstick?
It makes an extraordinary focus point for Damian Foxe's styling above, Illamasqua's Apocalips brings together the crazy combinations of feathers, animal print, layers of tulle and wooden jewellery and impressive sculptures of hair.
Apocalips, has a vibrant and matt finish. But if you don't want to go down the '90s grunge route and you're not ready to go as far as Foxe if your feeling tribal, I think you will be surprised how flattering an emerald tone can be on golden skin, minimal eye make up and bronzed lids. That's where glossy, jewel-esque shades like Lime Crime's Sperpentina or Dolce and Gabbana's Emeraldo come in.
See Rhianna, who pulls off grunge AND gleaming...
