Green eyes can be enhanced by using the right color shades of eyeliners, eyeshadow, mascara and kohl pencils. All you need to know is, which colors to use for your eye makeup and how to use them in a perfect combination. Mentioned below are few eye makeup tips and techniques for applying makeup for green hazel eyes.

Eye Makeup for Green Eyes - Colors and Shades
Since our objective is to dramatize and enhance the green hazel eyes and not to tone them down, you must work on them with shades that do not compete with the color of your eyes. If your eyes are of a darker green shade, then choose lighter colors and if they are light hazel green shaded, choose darker shades. Also remember, that the colors should compliment the occasion that you would be wearing it to. To apply eye makeup for green eyes, choose colors like peach, violet, purple, brown, bronze, mauve, khaki and beige. Colors of eyeshadow and eye pencils should be used in a combination, rather than using the same color for both. Eyeshadow in shades of taupes, coral, mocha and lilacs will work very well to create that dramatic effect for green eyes.

Tips for Applying Eyeshadow for Green Eyes
The most important step in eye makeup for green eyes is the application of the eye shadow. Choose from any of the shades mentioned above and avoid shades of pink, white, gray and blue. For application, choose a light color as the highlighter. For example, lilac can be a good highlighter. Apply it to the row bone in a single thick stroke and apply evenly all over the bone. Then apply a darker shade, say a deep purple, to the crease of the eyes and blend well, until it is applied uniformly over the crease. This combination of lilac and deep purple will give a stark effect to your hazel green eyes. For a more subtle look, you can try using a combination of light bronze and brown.

Tips for Applying Eyeliner/ Eye pencil for Green Eyes
Applying eyeliner or eye pencils to green eyes with eyeshadow on, will only enhance the makeup further. Eyeliner or eye pencil for makeup for hazel green eyes should be of golden, dark gray, shades of plums and violets or shades or brown and bronze. Apply the eyeliner or eye pencil on the outer 'v' shape of the eyelid by gliding it on smoothly. Apply the eyeliner or eye pencil on the lower eyelid as well, on the outer rim. If you are using an eyeliner, allow it to dry well and avoid blinking so that it does not smudge.

Tips for Applying Mascara for Green Eyes

Smoky Eye Makeup for Hazel Green Eyes

Apply the darker shade over the crease evenly, in an outward and upward motion so that, it tapers towards the outer edge of the eye.

Sculpt your eyebrows by filling it with dark brown brow powder.
