Eyeshadow for Green Eyes



Eye Shadow for Green Eyes

Enhance your Green Eyes with Eyeshadow

Much like with blue eyes, shadows that are intense and often a bit intimidating for users can be the best choices when it comes to enhancing green eyes. Using colors like deep green, purple, and deep browns can help to bring out natural eye color quickly and easily when applied correctly. When it comes to your green eye shadow application there are a few things that you can do to make the most of your eyes with the least amount of effort.

Shadow Selection

The shadow that you choose is nearly as important as how you apply it. You should consider the shade of your eyes, your natural skin tone, the other colors you will be pairing it with, and the amount of shadow that you will be using when you choose your shadow.

Green Eye Shades

-Deep Green Eyes with no blue: for deep green eyes that have no blue in them; shadows that are also deep can help to bring out the green. Colors like deep purple and plum are excellent for deep green eyes as they play off your natural eye color without overpowering it. If you have more mature skin you may not want to opt for very dark color all over the lid and may want to use them in your lash line or even in the corners of your eyes.
-Blue Green Eyes: for eyes that are green but still have a hint of blue using shadows that typically flatter blue eyes can work well, shadows that are coppery or have an orange undertone can help to enhance the blue and therefore the green in your eyes. Browns are also very flattering with blue green eyes. Again, using colors that are overly intense can help to make them difficult to wear with more mature skin.
Green Eyes with brown: for green eyes that are more hazel or brown using shadows that compliment brown eyes is a fantastic idea. Using greens browns, and moss colors can help to enhance the green of eyes and deepen the overall color.

Skin Tone

-Fair to Light Skin: those with fair skin will not be able to pull off dark purples and browns without looking a bit washed out, for those with fair skin colors that are still in keeping with your eye shade but are a bit lighter or even perhaps used as accents may create a better overall look.

Medium to Deep Skin: if you have medium skin you are far more likely to be able to use darker shadows, though shadows that are still very dark may prove troublesome, darker shadows are much more forgiving on darker skin tones. Colors that are much more pigmented are both more flattering and show up better on darker skin.
-Dark Skin: for those with dark skin just about any color that is not overly light will work. Darker skin tones help to mute colors, which makes them much more wearable and far less pronounced. -Though dark skin will not completely mute a color, it can help to make it a bit more manageable and conventional.
-Universally Flattering: using shadows that have a gold undertone or that are simply gold metallic are universally flattering on just about any skin type and green eye shade. These colors can also be used to help make eyes appear brighter, more lifted, and therefore younger.

 Shadow Application

Often times adding simple enhancements here and there is far more striking and wearable than over the top eye enhancing looks. Using neutral shadows with simple accents here and there can help to create an everyday look as opposed to a look that is only suited for a night out or special occasion. Using a neutral base color can help to create a wearable look and adding extra accents like plum or raisin colored liners, brown or plum colored mascara, or winged out accent colors that work with your eye shade can help to enhance eyes without being over the top.
If you are using a darker shadow, primer is an excellent idea as it helps to intensify the color you are using and helps prevent creasing and pooling in fine lines. For shadows that are much lighter in color, it may not be necessary to use a primer as their creasing will not be as pronounced. Using a universally flattering color like gold is a good way to test the waters so to speak when it comes to using green eye enhancements. You can pair gold shadows with a plum liner, which helps to create a soft and subtle effect that still works to accent your eyes.
