How to Enhance Green Eyes

Dress to highlight your green eyes.

Green eyes can range in hue from dark emerald to a light green that appears nearly gray. Because green eyes are inherited by fewer people than brown or blue eyes, it's likely that if you have them, you'll want to flaunt them. Luckily, there are steps you can take with your dress and grooming to make sure that your green eyes will be noticed.

Instructions

1. Wear clothing that will complement your eyes. The lightness of green eyes will really pop when contrasted against dark clothing in colors like black and brown. Wearing green clothing also can help your green eyes appear brighter.

2. Accessorize your outfits with items that highlight your eye color. Silver and turquoise jewelry will bring out the green color of your eyes. If you wear glasses, consider a wire-rimmed or frameless style that allows your eye color to stand out.

3. Use eye makeup in warm shades of gold, brown, purple and peach. These colors are opposite green on the color wheel, which means they are complementary to green and make it appear brighter when the colors are placed side-by-side.

4. Consider changing your hair color if you'd like to do something a little more permanent to help your eye color stand out. Green eyes will look brightest when paired with black, dark brown or auburn hair.
