Fierce Friday: Get the Look—Viola Davis in Emerald Green
A single color pop of makeup can easily transform your day makeup into a ultra-glam Fierce Friday look! Case in point—Viola Davis at the 2012 Academy Awards. The green accent of eyeliner was all it took to escalate Davis' makeup look from just pretty to FIERCE!
Best Actress nominee Viola Davis looked absolutely fabulous on the 84th annual Academy Award red carpet. Wearing a green Vera Wang gown that showcased her glistening brown skin and svelte body, Davis made green, glam.
