We’re So Julia: Every Single “Brat Green” Beauty Item You

I know what you’re thinking: Great, another pop culture–bred beauty aesthetic to decipher. I understand the whiplash (I say this as someone who has a career in beauty—the trend cycle can be overwhelming!), but there are some cultural moments so big that we simply must acknowledge their ability to bleed into every facet of our lives. Take Barbie, for example. How many hot-pink glam moments did we encounter once the blockbuster hit the box office? And let’s not forget the chokehold Challengers had on the fashion and beauty zeitgeist—from slick, braided ponytails to pleated miniskirts, it seems everyone was in their tenniscore era.

Charli XCX’s Brat follows a similar beat, instantly capturing the masses with 15.4 million Spotify streams on its first day of release, but it’s more than an album—it’s a way of life. It’s late nights and impromptu plans. It’s overcoming bad blood and owning your confidence, perhaps clad in a slinky white tank. A far cry from the polished clean-girl aesthetic, “brat” is all about feeling carefree. Incorporate some slime green into your getup (just like Lizzo here), and you’ll really scream, “Brat girl summer!”

“I wanted to go with an offensive, off-trend shade of green to trigger the idea of something being wrong,” Charli told Vogueearlier this month. That said, there’s something about the combination of smudged makeup, a party top, and a neon green accent (nails, liner, sunglasses) that just feels right. Keep scrolling to match the color story and channel your inner brat as the pop icon intended.

Forget Social Media, I’m Dope in Real Life Polite Principles Eyeshadow Palette

My eye immediately landed upon the lime-green shimmery shade (named In the Moment), but this entire palette is just so pretty. The case itself is also very brat, don’t you think?

For more subtle brats, this twinkling liquid shadow is divine. The green-gold hue has earned me many compliments—it’s a universal shade I often wear year-round.

Glossier

Skywash Liquid-To-Powder Sheer Matte Eyeshadow Tint

Glossier’s Skywash is so versatile. Just one swipe delivers a sheer wash of color, but you can build the intensity however you please. It dries down quickly, so you don’t have to worry about any transfer.

About-Face

Matte Fluid Eye Paint

For a green shadow with more impact, you can’t go wrong with About-Face. The payoff is more intense—think bright green as opposed to creamy and sheer. The doe foot applicator is A+ for graphic liner looks, too.

Makeup artists frequently gush about this liner. It has a gel-cream texture that allows for the perfect smudging effect, yet it doesn’t move once it dries down. It’s perfect for a more lived-in liner look (as if you just went out dancing and forgot to remove your eyeliner before bed).
