A far departure from the vibrant Tangerine Tango that adorned everything from our beauty bags to our fingertips last year, emerald green is a deeply romantic jewel tone that tops the color charts as the Pantone 2013 Color of the Year.
“Emerald, a perfectly balanced green, is a mix of warm and cool, which makes it so versatile and flattering to many skin tones,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today’s complex world.”
Wake up your eye makeup routine with hints of emerald green. Join us as we follow the Tangerine Tango road all the way to the Emerald City.
