Well here
we are in 2013. Happy New Year to you
all.
Time stands
still for no woman nor fashion and just to make sure you are up to the minute
on the trends, did you know that the Colour of the Year 2013 is Emerald
Green? Pantone has declared it so, and
therefore we must fall into line! You
will be seeing a lot of green in the shops and of course that stretches to
make-up too.
There is a
shade of green that suits everyone, regardless of their colouring, but if the
thought of green from head to toe doesn’t appeal, you can still be on trend by
using it in your make-up. Gone is the
stripe of cream green eye shadow in a block across the eye 1970s-style and in
its place is the use of green to accent your eyes, sometimes blended with other
colours, sometimes on its own and something that can work whatever your eye
colour.
Some key
products from the Helen É Cosmetics range to get the look are the Aqua
Intense Eye Shadow (rrp £8), which blends beautifully without dragging and can
accent the outer edge of your eyes.

If you like
a bit of shimmer with your green, don’t forget the Shimmer Eye Powders (rrp £5)
in shade 8, 25 or 30, which can also be used wet for a more intense wash of
colour. These are always very popular at
the shows.

Coloured
eye liners featured heavily in the runway shows for 2013 and are probably the
easiest and quickest way of changing your look. The Helen É Cosmetics customer’s favourite Eye Pencil with Smudger (rrp £8) comes in four
tones of green for the discerning fashionista - Green, Aqua, Sage Green and
Moss.

Emerald of course, as well as Pastel Green and Peacock.
