Green Machine: How to wear beauty’s most intimidating colour for Christmas 2021

Merry Christmas, everybody! While festivities have largely been put on hold this year, there is finally occasion to celebrate in person with your immediate family (or virtually with any loves ones abroad) As a result, you’ll probably still need a festive fit to see you through the day of all things jolly and bright.

And, as we all know, every outfit needs a killer beauty look to go along with it. For this year, in particular, we’re thinking that green is the way to go. Despite being the obvious choice for Christmas, green is often overlooked in the beauty game—partially because neutrals and pinks are always favoured, but mostly because it’s a pretty intimidating colour to wear in general.

Well, this Christmas, we’re taking the intimidation factor out of the equation: 2021 is as good a year as any to branch out of your comfort zone, what with “Gen Z Green” taking the lead as the year’s favourite colour. The good news is that we’ve got just the guide to get you going on your green journey. Ahead, find our picks for some of the best green makeup looks for you to emulate for Christmas.

Wing it

Easily the most wearable way to incorporate green into your beauty routine, swapping your black liners for any vivid green is all you need to recreate this look.

Commit to your lash line

Like the liner, a set of green lashes (cat-eye optional!) is a great way to put a twist on a classic.
