Not all eye shadow colors go along with green eyes. Shades of violet and lavender, mixed with reddish or pink hues suit women with green eyes the best. This is because these shades in particular help bring out the natural yellow, golden tint in green eyes. Another way to feature such eyes is to use purple eye shadow, layered with shades of brown or bronze. This color combination draws attention to the bluish tinge in green eyes. Eye shadow colors do not stop there- you can also use gold, peach, deep green, copper, medium pink and apricot. Eyeliners in brown, golden brown, deep purple, steel grey or black make your eyes stand out even more.
Apart from this, your eye shadow should also match your skin tone. Experts suggest experimenting with dramatic colors such as amber, neon shades and jade, but to stay away from yellow hues, such as lemon and mustard, as these make your green eyes appear dull. Another thumb rule is to never exactly match your eye color with your eye shadow. Instead, contrasting these colors is the best.
For example, a light green eye shadow would not look very good on a green pair of eyes, but a turquoise blue one would look very attractive. Shades of silver and grey also make green eyes stand out, but you need to be careful while using these as there is always the danger that your eyes may end up looking too cold.
A smoky look goes well with green eyes, and so does brown eye shadow. However, while applying such shades of eye shadow, be cautious because if your eyes are more hazel than green, then a brown eye shadow would make your eyes look deep-set.
On the other hand, women with green eyes can never go wrong while applying shades of gold, copper and bronze. Remember, makeup for green eyes can never be restricted to any one color as it would either heavily contrast with the greenness of your eyes or make them look incredibly dull. The trick is to layer your eye makeup in such a way that your green eyes come across as striking.
Ensure that your eyebrows are plucked and well arched so that anybody looking at your face is captured by the well-defined green eyes staring back at them. If you have very thin eyebrows, then it is best to use a brow-pencil to fill them in. The idea here is that your eyebrows should frame your eyes in a flattering way, and also compliment them.
Second, while doing eye makeup always use a primer and base before applying eye shadow. This ensures that your eye makeup stays in place for longer and reflects well on your face. It is also a good idea to use eyeliner, mascara and an eyelash curler, as these cosmetics all work to bring out your green eyes. Also, keep a cotton bud handy to remove extra eye shadow.
Dusting a little waterproof translucent powder on your eyes helps ensure that your makeup stays in place no matter how hot or wet it gets. Since eyes are very sensitive, you need to ensure that all the cosmetics you use on this particular zone are of good quality and are dabbed lightly, rather than rubbed on.
