Metallic peridot-hued eyeshadow too lowkey for your liking? Add a few gemstone accents for the OTT touch.

Keep things simple with a single eyeshadow shade that speaks for itself - lime green shimmer anyone?

Red carpet meets resort glam, this halo smokey eye draws inspo from Rihanna’s gold and green holiday ensemble.

Matte is the moment: blend grassy shades with subtle neutral tones for a seamless shape that flatters eyes.

A moody moment, that’s for sure. Emma Roberts' emerald-hued glam look is the perfect way to take this trend into the nighttime.

Blink and you’ll miss it, this carefully-placed fluoro green liner is an unexpected but welcome addition to an otherwise understated makeup moment.

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.

If you can't rock shimmery lime shadow to The Met Gala (with a little shamrock on the lower lashline, of course) where can you wear it?! Exactly. Full marks for Gemma Chan.

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.

Green eye makeup is the trend that just keeps on giving. Jodie Turner-Smith just donned a very on-brand emerald green metallic eye look accented by pink dual-shift chrome highlighter for last night's LACMA Gala presented by Gucci. The brand ambassador let A-list makeup artist Allan Avendano’s work shine by keeping her hair high (literally) and off her beautiful face, contorting it into an elaborate sculptural updo.

A girl after our own hearts, Lucy Hale captioned a snap of her green gradient shadow (our new fave way to wear the trend, FYI) "Wearing green today while only listening to Red (Taylor's version)". We'll be doing the same from here on out...
