When you think of the perfect lip color, green might not be the first one that comes to mind. But green makeup has been trending this year — including green lip gloss. Before you write off adding a green hue to your lips, keep reading to find out why you should give the color a chance and for tips on how to wear green lip gloss from Martin Corona, a professional makeup artist for NYX Professional Makeup.Why Green Makeup Is Having a MomentAfter wearing minimal makeup over the past two years, bright makeup has been trending — especially the color green. “Green is not usually a popular color, and it is due time for it to have its time in the spotlight!” says Corona. Over the past few months, we’ve seen some major green makeup launches, including the Urban Decay Wild Greens Eyeshadow Palette, which features five green hues, and the NYX Professional Makeup This Is Juice Gloss in Kiwi Kick. “I also think the color is having a moment because green is commonly associated with veganism and clean beauty, which are on the rise as of late,” Corona says.
