The irony of 'good in a glass, good on green' being one of Kacey Musgraves' most iconic lyrics when she looks this good in green is certainly not lost on us.

We're green with envy looking at Zoë Foster Blake's emerald shadow. So if you're looking for a low-key way to embrace green, go for an all-over lid wash, long lashes and a nude lip.

J.Lo's sheer take on the shade is absolute heaven; not quite pastel, but not quite bright. Just enough but not too much.

Lime and emerald aren't your only options; a cool-toned pastel green like Barbie Ferreira's mint wash is chic as hell.

Yara Shahidi opted for a similar chalky-finish all-over-the-eyelid situation, but swapped icy mint for neon lime.

Another advocate for a subtle take on green? Addison Rae, who went with smokey shamrock shadow and spidery lashes.

Green shadow is great on its own, sure, but we also don’t see anything wrong with going full fairy princess like Iris Apatow by adding a few glitzy face gems.

Milan’s fashion week reached an impressive crescendo this weekend when iconic designer Donatella Versave enlisted the help of pop star Dua Lipa to open and close Versace’s Spring/Summer 2022 runway show. The “New Rules” singer had her lids painted in a rainforest ombre hue of electric green and aquamarine, that tapered to an extended wing for an eclectic take on the classic va-va-voom Versace beauty we’ve come to know and love from the Italian fashion house.
