Green is a colour said to attract prosperity and is a colour that is sure to add a bit of luxury to your look. There are so many reasons we love this colour: emerald complements roses, pinks, ruby reds, peaches and aubergines so finding a pretty matching lipstick or blush is no trouble at all.

And as a nail colour, green adds a bit of modern elegance to any outfit. However, it isn’t only for accenting eyes and showing off nails. It’s a colour corrector, perfect for diminishing redness and concealing blemishes.

Here are 10 emerald picks for the year ahead so you can sport this hue and often as you like!
