10 Basic Makeup Rules for Green Eyes

The first and most crucial guideline for gorgeous makeup for green eyes is to choose warm hues over cool ones.

Since violet is the color on the color wheel opposite green, any shade in this range makes your eyes stand out dramatically.

For girls with green eyes, the best shadows are plum, eggplant, lilac, lavender, and pink.

Apart from all hues of purple, pick shadows that have a hint of mustard, peach, or brick-red.

Combine them with gold or bronze shadows (like in the smoky ice makeup option) to make the color even more unique and saturated. These shades literally "light up" the look.

Speaking of red shades, you should definitely include them in your cosmetics collection.

In addition to looking great against green, red eyeshadow is currently very popular, so try experimenting with your look by adding a bright accent. To view the full instructions, view the following video.

• Advice! Red shades can easily make you look sickly if not handled correctly, so if you decide to use a liner of this color, the easiest way to protect yourself is to first outline the lash line with a black or dark brown pencil, and draw the red line slightly higher.

Regular dry blush can also play the part of shadows in the case of green eyes.

On the moveable eyelid, blend peach or pink blush with a warm undertone; however, before applying, read these instructions.

A timeless piece of makeup, black liner is a need.

You can use a soft brown pencil in its place if you want to slightly soften the appearance. By the way, you can effortlessly achieve a lighter take on smoky eyes with this pencil, which is more fitting for 2021. Just blend a clear line into a "haze" across the entire movable eyelid.

Another effective way to draw attention to green eyes is with mascara, eyeliner, or green shadows.

However, pick hues that are either lighter or darker than your eyes because the tone difference won’t produce the desired effect. An excellent option is an olive or khaki color (but remember to apply mascara thickly to your lashes when wearing such a look). It is also possible to combine green shadows with gray, black, blue, gold, and brown.

• Advice! Use one thing-green shadows, eyeliner or mascara. Otherwise the image will not be harmonious.

Silver and bright blue eye makeup (without red pigments in the composition) should be avoided.

Green eyes’ "brightness" is greatly diminished by these hues. Choose colors like turquoise, golden, and bronze.

For girls with green eyes, the burgundy arrow makeup version is trendy and ideal.

However, it can be difficult to find eyeliner in this shade, so try this trick: Apply burgundy shadows, wet an angled brush with water, spritz it with makeup fixative, and use it to draw a clear arrow. Applying brown eyeshadow to the crease will complete your look.

Consider applying gold mascara.

Green eyes will have a real sparkle to them! We suggest trying this trick: use a disposable brush to apply metallic eyeliner on top of your black mascara-coated lashes.

Features of choosing colors for green eyes of different shades

When it comes to eye makeup, your skin tone and hair color are just as important as the color of your eyes themselves. Make sure that these shades complement your skin tone before selecting the best makeup palettes. The shape of your eyes and the characteristics of the eyelid structure should be taken into account when selecting a makeup technique (we have devoted a separate article to this topic).

Makeup for gray-green eyes

• To give light blue or gray eyes a greenish tint, use burgundy, pink, plum, red-brown or wine colors.
• If, on the contrary, you want to "extract" the gray pigment from green eyes, try copper, peach or steel-colored eyeshadow.
• Soft brown shades, options with purple, red or yellowish pigments are another great way to “transform” gray or light blue eyes into green.

Makeup for hazel-green eyes

• As a rule, hazel-green eyes have a brown core, and the outer “ring” has a greenish tint. Use emerald or purple shadows: they will help “pull out” the green pigment, making the eye color more interesting.
• Amber or hazel eye color can be emphasized not only with the help of shadows or, say, eyeliner. Put on red lipstick, and you will see that your eyes become much brighter.
• Try dyeing your hair with henna: the reddish tint of the strands will contrast with the color of the eyes, and they will seem greener. Or you can add reddish shades to your hair.
• An even easier way to emphasize green eyes is to wear green accessories and jewelry. Emeralds to the rescue!

Makeup for dark green and light green eyes

• Use rich red shades to highlight green eyes. Of course, scarlet or crimson eyeshadow is not the best choice, but garnet, wine or burgundy are a great option for eye makeup.
• Walk along the lash line with a soft, fluffy brush with long bristles with blush on it: your eyes will become even brighter. By the way, you can use pink or purple lipstick for the same purpose: it will help create a soft effect, but at the same time highlight your eyes.

Makeup for brunettes with green eyes

• The best shades of eyeshadow and eyeliner for girls with dark hair are purple, gray and green (medium tones).
• Brown mascara is only suitable for you if you have light chestnut hair. If your hair is darker, choose classic black mascara.
• All shades of brown and options with golden shimmer are more suitable for dark-skinned girls, and if you also have dark hair, try rich pink shadows or options with a pearlescent sheen.
• If you have light porcelain skin, add fuchsia, blue, emerald, plum shades to your makeup bag. The best lipstick shades for you are bright and muted pink, brown. You can even afford purple!
• You should not get carried away with contouring: you already have a very bright and expressive appearance, so additional accents in makeup will be superfluous.

Our detailed photo instructions include a good everyday makeup option for a brunette with green eyes:

Apply foundation all over your face using a sponge, then blend in concealer under your eyes.

Matte finish foundation is the better option. The second choice is to use a transparent or mattifying powder to fix the effect.

To make your eyebrows appear thicker and more put together, shade them with a pencil.

To fix the shape, use brow gel.

Use a sculptor on the jawline, temples, and area below the cheekbones.

Highlight the cheekbones, nose bridge, and the "tick" above the lip with highlighter.

Apply beige shadows to the upper eyelid, blend a shimmery light shade of shadow over the moveable eyelid, and fill in the crease with a matte, darker shade of color.

Using a black pencil, draw the space between the eyelashes. Then, using a liner, draw a clean arrow from the center of the eyelid. Use mascara to give the lashes a subtle tint.

Use light pink lipstick to draw attention to your lips rather than blush.

Makeup for redheads with green eyes

• Red-haired girls are not recommended to use brown shadows, which, if handled incorrectly, will make you look tired. It is better to turn to golden, nude and khaki shadows.
• As a rule, girls with red hair have either very light or medium skin tone. Neutral brown (or brown-pink), plum, and cocoa colors go best with this.
• If you have dark skin, use deeper shades of bronze and dark green with a copper tint.
• Fiery red hair is a reason to add orange-toned products with golden or copper sparkling particles to your makeup bag, also try a shade of chili pepper.

Makeup for blondes with green eyes

• Try to avoid blue and orange colors in makeup, they are unlikely to decorate the image. Carefully approach the choice of eyebrow pencil. The main rule is that it should not be too dark (find the full list of requirements here).
• Blonde hair comes in different shades, so when choosing makeup, you should consider the features of your appearance. Ash blondes will suit shadows and other makeup products from the gray range and with a cold purple tint.
• If you have dark blond hair and you belong to the "summer" color type, the shade of champagne, apricot and shadows of dusty rose color are just for you.
• Light blond hair goes well with sand, nude and beige colors.
• If your eyes are grayish and your skin is very light, add cool shades to your makeup bag – for example, turquoise.

One element that will help to accentuate green eyes is red lipstick. You can find detailed instructions on how to use it in the video below:

Popular makeup techniques for green eyes

As demonstrated previously, it is important to take the color of the hair and eyes into account when selecting a makeup look. But regardless of how a girl looks, there are a few makeup techniques that work for her. Let’s examine each of them in more detail.

Universal makeup using shadows: step-by-step instructions

Select a neutral option if you’re unsure of what shade of shadows will work best for you. Dusty rose and copper-tinted shadows are great options.

It is very uncommon to have bright green eyes; instead, most often, they are light with a hint of gray, blue, or nutty. Consequently, brown hues with a metallic sheen work best to draw attention to green eyes; this will result in a subtle "highlight."

Use the advice to effortlessly achieve the ideal everyday look.

Use blush and highlighter, as well as a base, foundation, concealer, and sculpting product.

• Tip! To make the border between the sculpting product and foundation less noticeable, go over it with a brush with the remains of the foundation

Apply a base for eyeshadow to the lids.

Using a fluffy brush, apply a beige-pink shade to the eyelid crease and blend it in.

Blend gentle, satin pink eyeshadow onto the moveable eyelid.

To the inner corners of the eyes, apply a sheer shimmery eyeshadow. On the lower lid closest to the inner corners of the eyes, apply light pink eyeshadow; on the outer corners, apply darker shades.

Using a golden or bronze pencil, outline the mucous membrane.

• Apply shimmery eyeshadow to the center of the movable eyelid to make the look more evening-like. Use a brown pencil to go over the lash line. Lightly tint the eyelashes with mascara, and the eyebrows with a tint gel.

Apply a gentle lip color to your lips, such as peach, pink, or nude.

Makeup with the effect of wet eyelids

These three makeup choices have the stylish effect of wet eyelids for those who enjoy experimenting with makeup and are willing to try a bolder look. Have patience and a supply of clear, non-sticky lip balm on hand if you want to recreate this look!

Smoky eyes makeup

One of the most common eye makeup looks that never seems to go out of style is the smokey eye.

• Classic smoky eyes are done in gray or coal-black tones (find the basic scheme here), but if you have green eyes, you can safely experiment with brighter colors.
• Choose warm shades of taupe, as well as different variations of pink or purple. For a smoky look, choose black or brown.
• Smoky eyes are an evening makeup option, so shimmery eyeshadow is often used. But if you have fair skin, avoid eyeshadow with strong shimmer, which will make your skin even paler.
• Dark-skinned green-eyed girls should cast aside any doubts: choose shiny, bright bronze and burgundy colors, but avoid pale shades that will look like dirty spots.

Are you brave enough to use color in your makeup? Next, attempt to recreate the effect with plum-toned, smoky eyes.

Apply the base of the eyeshadow and use your fingertips to blend it over the whole moveable eyelid. Apply a small amount of makeup to the lower eyelid. Use a black pencil to fill in the space between the lashes on the upper eyelid. © Makeup.ru

Using a natural bristle flat brush, apply the shadows evenly across the moveable eyelid. Ensure that the black color is applied densely and uniformly (patting motions can be used to apply the shadows to create this effect). On the lower eyelid, apply black shadows. © Makeup.ru

Use a vibrant "intermediate" hue, such as reddish-brick, purple, or pink. Instead of getting a distinct black line, shade it along the orbital line and the lower eyelid to create a "smoky" effect. © Makeup.ru

Types of makeup for green eyes

Daytime makeup for green eyes

A nude look makes the most sense when discussing everyday makeup. However, you can also use brighter lip gloss and shadows with a hint of shimmer for daytime makeup. To achieve a harmonious daytime makeup, adhere to the instructions.

Utilize a liquid foundation.

• Advice! If you are going to a party after work, it is better to think about it in advance. Use a non-oil-based, medium-density foundation without SPF – such foundations do not reflect the photo flash, so you will look great in photos.

After applying eyelid primer to the movable eyelid up to the brow, use a black pencil to outline the lash line. To make the line look like a tiny arrow, use a flat brush.

Apply eyeshadow to your eyes.

In the crease, apply a dark eyeshadow shade (or use a sculpting product). Apply a golden-tinted eyeshadow to the moveable eyelid. Using a wet brush, apply the same mixture to the inner corners of the eyes. To accentuate the previously drawn lash line, apply brown eyeshadow. This will make the line softer.

In order to avoid an overly dramatic look, you don’t need to paint the tips as much (especially the lower ones); in daytime makeup, this kind of effect is unneeded. Use a pencil to reshape the eyebrows, then use eyebrow gel to seal the change.

Apply lip gloss, concealer, and highlighter.

Apply concealer to the area beneath your eyes and use a highlighter to draw attention to the center of your face. Put on coral lip gloss and blush.

For girls with green eyes, makeup can significantly enhance their distinct eye color. The correct tones can enhance the vibrancy and contrast of green eyes. In order to help you achieve a gorgeous and natural look that accentuates your eye color, this guide examines the best makeup techniques and colors that go well with green eyes.

Evening makeup for green eyes

Use shimmery eyeshadow to create a stunning evening look, but keep in mind these key guidelines:

• A perfect complexion is the most important part of evening makeup. To ensure that the foundation is distributed evenly, apply it pointwise, blending it towards the edges of your face. It is best to do this with a sponge, having previously moistened it with water. Fix the product with loose powder so that the makeup lasts as long as possible.
• Don"t forget the most important rule of professional makeup artists: you should focus either on your eyes or on your lips. Therefore, if you decide to do intense eye makeup, choose a gloss or lipstick in a neutral shade for your lips – soft pink, nude or light berry.

See our instructions for a simplified version of evening makeup for green eyes.

1. 1 Draw the inter -seal space with a black kayal and apply it to the whole mobile eyelid instead of the base. Bend a brush.
2. 2 to the center of the upper eyelid, apply dark green shadows.
3. 3 along the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid, go through a black cayal. Darn green shadows under the lower eyelashes and blend.
4. 4 In the inner corner of the eye, apply the shadows of a lighter green shade with Shimmer, to the center of the century – gray shadows.
5. 5 Make eyebrow makeup with a pencil and shadows. The shade should coincide with the color of the roots of the hair or be tone lighter.
6. 6 Use Kerler and paint your eyelashes with black mascara.

Wedding makeup for green eyes

We’ve already explained how to select wedding makeup based on skin tone. And now we’d like to remind you of a few general guidelines that apply to brides regardless of their hair and eye color:

• Do not try to experiment and use only proven products, the “behavior” of which you can predict 100%.
• Use highlighter in moderation – you want to achieve the effect of radiant, not oily skin. Try this trick: go over your cheekbones, the "tick" above your upper lip and the area under your eyebrows with golden shimmer.
• In your makeup, give preference to calm shades – brown, gray, blue or purple are ideal. Smoky eyes will look unusual in this version.
• Highlight your eyebrows. Even if you usually don"t tint your eyebrows, make an exception for the holiday and tint them a little with a color that matches the shade of your hair.
• Use matting wipes instead of powder.
• Don"t forget to apply a toner and shimmer to exposed areas of skin so that they don"t differ in color from your face.
• Choose waterproof products.in
