“…And I also believe that mint will be very big in fashion next spring.” –Lady Gaga, from her new video “Marry The Night
Pastels are always a shoe-in when it comes to spring beauty. Mint green and its variations, including sea foam green, spring green and institution green has leapt off candy shelves and sanitarium walls onto the nails, lips, and hair of daring fashionistas.
The color is certainly not new – it reached peak popularity in the 1960s and faded into the retro horizon but has regained great momentum the past few seasons. Karl Lagerfeld debuted a smattering of mint green amidst his staple black and white on the Fall 2009 Chanel runway. Lady Gaga has recently even sported the color on her cheeks, but I can assure you this is not a good look. Do not, I repeat, not try that at home.
