Color of the Year :: Emerald Green (Makeup Edition)

For my final installment in the Color of the Year :: Emerald Green series I saved the best for last, Makeup! Part of the reason is because I just purchased my new light studio and had tons of awesome Emerald shades in my makeup collection already!

Mac Cosmetics - Thunder Eyes Quad - Scarab [No Longer Available]
Victoria Secret eye shadow quad - Mysterious [Buy Here]
L'Oreal HIP - Gunmetal [Buy Here]
L'Oreal HIP - Forgiving [Buy Here]
Mac Cosmetics - (Clockwise) Humid [Buy Here], Blue Absinthe [No Longer Available], Shimmer Moss [Buy Here] & Swimming [Buy Here]

All of these colors I've had in my collection for sometime so unfortunately they may no longer be available. One thing to try and remember when a new trend come about is to check what you already have to try and save a few bucks! But lets just say budget didn't factor, here's some choices I would quickly reach for!
