Best Colors for Green Eyes

Green eyes look gorgeous in shades of olive, moss, plum, red-based browns and rust/copper. Use these subtle shades as a monochromatic color scheme for a subtle /natural look; red or rusty browns and plums are complementary colors (or opposites on the color wheel) and will create more impact, making green eyes look brighter.

Any color with a slight red undertone (plum, terracotta, rust, cedar. copper, etc.) will emphasize green eyes. The opposite of green on the color wheel is red.

NOTE: Do not use a very red color on the eyes. It makes any eye look tired and bloodshot. Some browns and rusts, etc. look very red. Choose a color with a slight red undertone (versus a blue undertone).

For a casual, well-dressed eye makeup look that is great for work, or easygoing look, apply a light coat of soft olive or rust/copper.

Accent with a mid-brown neutral shadow along your contour, and blend out to nothing up to your brow bone.
Always apply foundation over your entire eye area , and set with powder before you apply your eyemakeup, for the smoothest eye shadow application; and apply a little concealer on any under eye bags and into the inner corner of your eyes.

To finish this brush on two coats of brown mascara on top - focusing on the lashes on the outer corner, and a dab of mascara into the base of your lashes on the bottom.

If you want something more dramatic, apply a sheer plum eye shadow all over your mobile lid, blend into a rusty brown or charcoal eye shadow into the outer corner of your mobile lid to just below your crease.

Sweep a soft line of the plum, rich brown or charcoal lightly under your bottom lid for a smoky look; or if you are more into the cat’s eye look, then dampen a very fine eyeliner brush, apply a charcoal or black liquid liner along your entire top lid, right in close to your lashes - taper the line (start finely on the inner corner and make thicker as you go along - flick out at the end).
Finish with two coats of black mascara on top (focusing on the outer corner) and a dab on the base of your bottom lashes.

If your eyes are: Green

Try: Lavender and mocha. Purple shades contrast your color, making eyes look dramatic; warmer shades of mocha complement green, giving a natural effect. Wear mocha for day, lavender for night, and top both with brown mascara.

If your eyes are: Hazel

Try: Deep green and pale yellow. Depending on your mood, choose a shadow shade that matches different flecks in your eyes. For a twist, apply shadow then line eyes with the same color, using a liner brush dipped in water.

Brown, black, plum mascaras look best. If you are fair, choose brown over black. If your skintone is medium or darker, you can choose black.

Blush:
Stick to corals, peach, apricot, warm browns, etc. Look for colors with a yellow or orange undertone. Do NOT, however, choose any color that looks very orange. The color should look warm versus having a cool look (cool colors have a blue undertone).

Lipcolor:
As with blush, choose similar colors. Take note, however: Do not choose anything that looks too yellow or orange. These colors will make your teeth look yellow. Stick to neutral/warm tones such as a clear apricot, brick red, cool peach, etc.
