How to Choose Makeup for Green Eyes

For those lucky enough to have beautiful green eyes, finding the right shades and tones to complement them is simple once you know what to look for. Follow these steps.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Pick an eye shadow that complements the green tones of your eyes. Brown, gold, plum and green hues will contrast perfectly to highlight the green in your eyes. Green shades will make your eye color pop while plum and purple hues will deliver a dramatic effect.
   
   

2. Choose a natural, brown liner to accentuate your eyes. Traditional, black liners will take away from the color of your eyes. For a more dramatic, evening look, try liners in plum or green shades instead of black.

3. Use a dark brown mascara to brighten and open your eyes. Mascara works to lift and extend lashes and really helps them shine. The natural brown color will do it without drawing attention from your green eyes.
   
   

4. Keep the rest of your makeup minimal to draw focus to your eyes. Choosing neutral blush and lip color shades will let your green eyes stand out.

Tips & Warnings

• Applying a bright, light shadow to the inside corners of your eyes will help you look more awake and brighten the green shade of your eyes.
• Many cosmetic companies like DuWop and Pop Beauty design compacts and color combinations specifically for those with green eyes.
