Makeup for Green Eyes – Green eyes are very striking, but like any other color there are variances in hue. You might have bright green eyes, or blue-green eyes. In both cases there are ways to bring out subtleties in your eye color that also honor your skin tone.
Eye Make up for Green Eyes
A natural/neutral look on green eyes is stunning. If you want a more “made up” look or to give your eyes more depth, look toward various shades of brown, copper or dark green. Gold highlights are also an excellent choice but use these reservedly unless you’re going out for a fanciful occasion. Alternatively, apricot, plum and dark purple work really well.
Colors to avoid? Unless it’s a sea-blue green eyes don’t seem to really shine with blue eye shadow. Pink isn’t great, nor is silver. Nonetheless, you may be able to find a shade in these hues that can accent or blend with another that brings out your skin tone or clothing ensemble.
Note that your eyeliner should follow these guidelines as well. Avoid black. Use nice dark brown or gold. Overall makeup for green eyes leans towards the warm end of the spectrum.
Makeup Tips Green Eyes:
In applying makeup for green eyes it’s always good to start with a foundation. This will give your finished look more staying power. A good foundation also hides fine lines that make your eyes look old and tired. Try a yellow-gold highlighter near the brow after getting the foundation in place.
The first layer of color should be a light one. This goes across the eyelid and stops at the crease. Finally the deepest color can be applied a little above the crease, starting out thin near your nose and gradually increasing toward the outside corner. BLEND WELL.
Makeup Tricks For Green Eyes
Eye makeup doesn’t live in a vacuum. You want the rest of your makeup to match so that your final look feels complete. For example, for rouge use a bronze or mauve if your skin tone is dark. Pale skin looks better with a pinkish-brown.
Choosing makeup for green eyes isn’t really difficult but it can take a little practice. One good recommendation is to go to makeup demonstrations so that you can see how different colors look on your skin and eyes before you invest a lot in a hue that ends up failing miserably. Or, have a party with several friends and have everyone bring makeup that you can swap. By the end of the night everyone will have better ideas about what colors work best, and maybe even learn some great makeup tips.
