A classic way to wear emerald green is with a thick line on your top and bottom lash lines. The Lancôme Longwear Calligraphy Gel Eyeliner in Emerald Seductive has a rich and creamy texture that makes it easy to apply the deep, luminous pigments. The rich green color will bring attention to your eyes whether you discreetly define or blend out for a smoky, dramatic look.

The Nars Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Celebrate has a bright neon green color that is sure to help you start the party at the pub. Use the fat pencil to create thick lines or to cover the entire lid. The long lasting and smooth and creamy texture of the pencil makes application mess-free and hassle-free. Use the pencil as a base and then add shadow over it for increased color intensity.
