Let your green eyes shine with the right colors

The secret to make-up for green eyes is finding the right colors that let your eyes speak. Green eyes are already striking, so you don't have to do much to accentuate them. By choosing colors such as shades of purple and warm earth tones, you will enhance the natural color of your eyes. Behind the right make-up mirror with lightning, you will be able to decide the correct colors for your eyes and to apply your eye make-up.

Tip: Try to avoid colors that are too close to your eye color, such as shades of green. These can actually make your eyes stand out less. Instead, choose contrast colors that make your eyes sparkle.

Eyeshadow for green eyes

Our first make-up tip for green eyes enhances the color of your eyeshadow. The best shades for green eyes, are colors that contrast with green and therefore make your eyes glow. Purple shades, such as lavender, and eggplant, are perfect because they create a nice contrast and emphasize the green color of your eyes. Warm earth tones like copper, bronze, and gold are also great for green eyes, especially if you want to create a more subtle look. 

Apply a light purple eyeshadow all over your eyelid as a base. To add depth, use a darker shade, such as eggplant, in the arcade arch. Then blend the colors well for a soft transition.

Tip: For an extra sparkly look, apply a shimmery copper shade in the center of your eyelid. This attracts the light and creates beautiful dimension. Also read our blog with more tips on how to apply eye make-up step by step.

Eyeliner for green eyes

Eyeliner can emphasize the shape of your eyes and complete your look. For green eyes, colors like purple, bronze and even dark brown are perfect. These colors accentuate your eyes without appearing harsh. 

To apply the eyeliner, you draw a thin line along the upper lash line with a purple or bronze eyeliner. For a soft look, you can blur the line with a brush. If you want to be a little more daring, you can choose for a metallic eyeliner in a gold or copper shade. 

Tip: Want a more dramatic look for the evening? Then go for a ‘winged’ eyeliner with a deep purple color. A winged eyeliner is a make-up technique in which a line of eyeliner is drawn along the upper lash line and then extended outward at an angle to form a pointed wing at the outer corner of the eye. This adds an extra touch to your eyes and makes your look just a little more exciting.

The perfect blush when you have green eyes

The next make-up tip for green eyes is about blushing your face. Blush instantly brightens your face and adds depth to your look. For green eyes, warm, natural shades such as peach and coral are a good choice. These colors provide a healthy glow and contrast nicely with the cool undertones of green eyes. Apply blush to the top of your cheeks and blend upward toward your temples for a natural effect. Start with a small amount and build up the color until you reach the desired intensity. If you want a neutral look, choose a soft pink blush. This gives your face a fresh look and fits with almost any make-up look.

Tip: Choose a blush with a subtle shimmer to accentuate your cheekbones. This gives your face a nice glare without being overpowering.

Choose matching pink lips

As a part of our make-up tips for green eyes, we mustn’t forget the lips. The right lip color brings your whole look together and makes your green eyes stand out even more. Pink shades work perfectly with green eyes because they highlight your eye color beautifully and make your look fresh and vibrant. Choose soft pink shades for a natural look, or go for bright pinks if you want to stand out more.

Always use a lip liner in a matching color first to outline your lips and then color in. This will make your lipstick last longer and prevent the color from running out. Next, apply your favorite pink lipstick.

Tip: For an extra shiny effect, apply a little lip gloss in the center of your lips. This will make your lips look fuller and give a nice shine.

If you want a subtle look, choose a nude pink lipstick. A nude pink lipstick is a subtle lip color that is a mix of pink and neutral shades. The result is a soft, natural look that is close to your own lip color, but with a touch of pink for a fresh look. This keeps the focus on your eyes while still adding a touch of color to your lips.
