Green eyes are rare and beautiful, so they deserve to be valued. Makeup in general will help you draw attention to this area, but there are some colors that make them stand out more than others. This article will give you tips on how to make them shine.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Choose the Eyeshadows
Step 1. During the day, wear neutral brown eyeshadow
Choose browns with reddish undertones, such as terracotta, or silvery, such as taupe. It is an ideal look for going to school and work.
If you want to bring out the green a little more, use purple eyeliner or mascara
Step 2. Try pink, purple and red to bring out the green
Use warmer, darker, or deeper shades of pink rather than lighter and cooler. They will allow you to highlight the green of the eyes. For purple, try the following shades: eggplant, lavender, lilac, plum, or purple.
If you don't like wearing red, try a brown with reddish undertones. It will look more natural and at the same time bring out the green
Step 3. Use green eyeshadows carefully
They can make the eyes sparkle, but also flatten the color. The secret is to choose a darker green and apply it sparingly.
Step 4. Try bronze, copper or gold
They will help you bring out the golden flecks of your eyes and will also make them look brighter. Brown or green eyeshadows with golden and pearly undertones work just as well.
Step 5. Avoid eyeshadows with blue or purple undertones with bluish undertones
Green already has an intense blue undertone, so all eyeshadows of this type will tend to turn off the eyes. The same goes for eyeliner and mascara.
Purple with reddish or pinkish undertones is fine
Step 6. If you have redness around the eyes, avoid products with red and purple undertones
They will highlight imperfections and you will look tired.
Method 2 of 3: Choose Eyeliner, Mascara, Lipstick and Blush
Step 1. Try dark brown or coffee colored eyeliner
It is dark enough to enhance the eyes, but also light enough not to make them smaller. You can try the gold for a special evening.
Step 2. Try applying white eyeliner to the inner corner of the eye
Make sure you blend it for a more natural effect. This will help you open your eyes.
Step 3. Try using purple eyeliner or mascara
It's great for brighter eyes when paired with brown or green eyeshadow. Either way, you don't have to wear purple eyeliner and mascara at the same time - pair a charcoal eyeliner with purple mascara.
Step 4. Don't be afraid to apply black mascara, but avoid using black eyeliner
Instead, choose a charcoal, dark gray or slate one; the black one will harden the look too much. Black mascara, on the other hand, can help define the eyes.
Step 5. Try a red, pink or purple lipstick
This way you will create a nice contrast with the eyes. To make the lipstick last longer, first apply a pencil to your lips, making sure you choose a suitable shade. Apply the lipstick to the pencil, dab it and make a second pass. Secure it by placing a thin handkerchief between your lips, then apply a thin layer of setting powder.
Step 6. Apply a peach blush to enhance green eyes
If you have a cool undertone, you should opt for a pink blush.
Method 3 of 3: Color Matching Ideas
Step 1. If you have deep green eyes, use red products
You can also apply blush to the lashline - it will help you even out your eye make-up with the rest of your make-up.
Step 2. If you have golden green eyes, do a different smokey eye makeup than usual
Instead of using the classic charcoal and silver shades, try a wine or lavender eyeshadow. Give more definition to your look with a charcoal or dark brown eyeliner.
Step 3. If you have hazel green eyes, apply periwinkle blue eyeliner to the upper lashline
At the bottom lash line, apply some eyeshadow of the same color. Complete the look with a purple or plum mascara.
Step 4. Try a neutral makeup in shades of brown and gold
Apply a golden eyeshadow all over your eyelid, then put an orange brown eyeshadow in the crease of the eye with a special brush: dab it in the inner and outer corner. Blend everything, then apply dark brown eyeliner and mascara.
Step 5. Try a neutral makeup in shades of peach and brown
Apply a primer all over your eyelid. Apply a cream-colored eyeshadow on the mobile lid, from the lash line to the browbone. Apply peach-colored eyeshadow from the upper lashline to the crease of the eye. Blend some of the same eyeshadow under the lower lashline. Apply brown eyeliner to your upper and lower lids. Finish with brown mascara, to be applied to the upper and lower lashline.
Step 6. Try mixing purple with other colors
Apply a primer all over your eyelid. Outline the upper and lower lids with brown eyeliner. Put a warm purple eyeshadow over the entire eyelid, from the lash line to the crease. Apply strawberry-colored eyeshadow in the crease of the eye. Soften the hard edges with a blending brush. Blend some strawberry-colored eyeshadow under the lower lashline and finish with a brown mascara, to be applied to the upper and lower lashes.
Step 7. Try a monochromatic makeup in shades of purple
Apply an eyeshadow primer. Put a medium purple eyeshadow over the entire lid, from the lash line to the crease of the eye, slightly past it. Apply a lighter purple eyeshadow from the crease to the browbone. Finally, apply a dark purple eyeshadow to the lash line. Blend the three colors to achieve a smooth color transition. Complete with a charcoal eyeliner and mascara.
You could pair this makeup with a clear and glittery lip gloss
Step 8. Use different shades of green to create monochromatic makeup
Apply a medium green eyeshadow all over the lid, from the top lashline to the crease of the eye. Apply a lighter green eyeshadow to the inner corner of the lid. Complete with a darker green eyeshadow in the outer corner. Blend the colors to get a gradually blended makeup. If you want, you can also apply eyeliner and mascara.
- Apply ivory eyeshadow on the brow bone to give more definition to the eyes.
- Try to use brown eyeliner or mascara.
Step 9. Finished
Advice
- To make your eyes stand out, apply dark eyeliner to the lower lashline.
- Use lipsticks and bold blushes sparingly, so as not to distract attention from your eyes.
- Mascara does not have to be combined with eyeshadow. For example, you don't have to apply purple mascara and eyeshadow.
