    I’m not crazy about that color. It’s ok for nails but I never wear green eyeshadow….I’m not sure if it would go well with my blue eyes…

    i’m not the biggest fan of the color anywhere except the nails (clothes included). Personally I feel that its too st. patrick’s day-esque

    I like Emerald better than the orange they had last year. Orange is NOT my color.

    I love using a dark emerald color around my eyes- always gets compliments. 💚

    Reminds me of Crayola “Sea-Foam Green” … which I loved 🙂

    Emerald Green is my favorite color, so I’m kind of excited for Pantone’s prediction. I don’t wear emerald makeup really though, but green clothes look awesome with my red hair.

    I really like this colour and look forward to wearing it as an eyeshadow. I instantly went out and purchased green tights after I heard this was the colour of the year.

    I love Green clothing but not on nails or face… wasn’t a fan of the orange of last year either.

    That is not what I imagine when one says “emerald”. It is a bit like seafoam green.
    More tropical than emerald which is usually in the jewel tones.
    All that being said, it is a pretty color for summer nails.

      I agree, I mentioned further down that I love emerald green and I’m excited for it to be chosen, but this is much more light and blue/turquoise toned than I picture emerald green. I think of it more like that gorgeous dress Keira Knightley wore in Atonement.

    It’s a very pretty colour (love the Essie polish in summertime), but how is this emerald? It’s not even close. Closer to turquoise or seafoam green really. Just disappointed that a colour company can get this obvious fact wrong.

    Who is Pantone and why do they get to decide the ‘color of the year?’

    I personally don’t like these polishes; they seem more seafoam green than emerald. And I really don’t like emerald, either. Just my opinion.

    That’s not usually what I think of as emerald- but if you look at an actual emerald, it’s pretty close. My favorite color is a darker version of this, more of an ivy green, but I love this color too. Looking forward to the sephora+pantone color of the year collaboration with this color!

    If there’s something out there called a colorgasm, I think I just had one ^^.

    Oh awesome pick, Pantone. Green is probably my 2nd fave color, next only to gray!

    I’m way more excited about this than the tangerine shade chosen for 2012 – emerald green is GORGEOUS. Good choice! Can’t wait to see the stuff that comes out in honour of this pick in the next year.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
