We may be in the midst of autumn, but it seems that beauty looks that boast a vibrant slant, one worthy of summer s more buoyant months, are gaining traction—at least on our Instagram feeds. Over the past several days, touches of green have brought a want of irreverence to eye-level, dusted, pressed, and painted for moments so bold, they render the fall s typical tawny, warming hues temporarily obsolete.
First came Ashley Graham, who bordered a liquid line of onyx with an emerald swipe that colored the feline flick a shade more subversive—particularly when finished with an infusion of shimmer, the detail acting as a counterbalance to a romantic French twist. A wash of chartreuse coated Paloma Elsesser s lids, arching toward her brows in a mimicry of a lime wedge and teaming with a set of coordinated statement earrings to ramp up the model s slicked ponytail and clean complexion. And for Grace Elizabeth, glamour took on an idiosyncratic guise with tousled lengths, luminous skin, and a cat-eye colored a hazy jade. Looking to reinvigorate your fall foliage-inspired makeup palette? A lid-level remembrance of verdant new growth may be the most stylized solution.
