Out of all of the different types of makeup, eyeshadow arguably offers the most freedom to play with color. While you may be intimidated by the thought of wearing blue lipstick, for example, blue eyeshadow is a more accessible way to add a pop of color to your look. One of our favorite colors to incorporate into our eye makeup routine is green. From striking lime green for beauty risk takers to muted olive for the makeup minimalists, green is surprisingly versatile. Not sold yet? Check out our editors’ 12 go-to green eyeshadow palettes and prepare to be gaga for green.
