I don't need to tell you that how many guys must be drooling over their eyes, which proves how important the color of your eyes is. Green eyes, I feel, is one of the best things that could happen to you. People could just look into your eyes and be totally engrossed in them (how I wish I had green eyes)! Nevertheless, such a beautiful and rare thing qualifies for thoughtful makeup too. I mean you would not want your beautiful green eyes to go red because you put wrong makeup, do you? That is why, if you have been blessed with green eyes, do take a look at eye makeup tips for green eyes, to accentuate and highlight the lovely color. But you might as well want to look up what is going to follow, which is precisely that, makeup tips for green eyes.

Best Makeup Tips for Green Eyes

Eyeliners or Eye Pencil: Shades of brown and gray compliment green eyes very well. So if you are not crazy about a black eyeliner, chuck the black eyeliner and go for brown or gray eyeliner. For hazel green eyes, golden, dark gray, shades of bronze and plums will enhance the green character of your eyes further. Application of the eyeliner or eye pencil should be on outer side of the eyelid, with a smooth glide. To avoid the eyeliner from smudging, let it dry before you blink your eyes. This one of the basic things when it comes to eye makeup for green eyes.

Shades and Hues: The color of eye makeup you use, for instance as mentioned earlier a brown eyeliner, also depends on the exact color of your eyes. So if your eyes are dark green, highlight and dramatize your eyes using eye makeup applications of lighter colors. On the contrary, if your eyes are a lighter shade of green, work on them with dark eye makeup. Ultimately, the objective is to bring out the green as much as possible. Gray tones go well in tandem with green eyes, but try not to create an icy or a very harsh look.

Eye Shadow: Now, another very important amongst eye makeup tips for green eyes is the application of eye shadow. So what color of eye shadow will accentuate your eyes? Well, again, go for warmer colors. Apricots and taupes (grayish brown) go really well with green eyes, for highlighting. Amongst others, chocolate browns, metallic browns, dark purple and plum are fantastic for highlighting. If you want to sweep everyone off their feet at a party or a special date, use copper and gold to compliment the green color. If the green color of your eyes tends to be more on the hazel side, bluish green color like turquoise will be really attractive. In case of truly green eyes, use brown shades of eyeshadow, otherwise it would not turn the attention of the people to the green color of your eyes.

What to Avoid: Just as you know now what would be great for green eyes, here are a few things which are a big no no for green eyes. First and foremost avoid shades of blue. Blue is not a good choice. What is the use if you apply blue eye liner or eye shadow and your date's (for instance!) attention is not drawn towards your extraordinary eyes? So avoid blue or any shade with blue undertones, like purple. Also avoid pink. But then, some shades of pink can look real hot, whereas some would be an absolute wardrobe or rather eye makeup malfunctioning. So trial and error is the way to go. Reserve silver for blue eyes, it is not meant for green eyes. After doing all this, do not forget to carry out the requisite eye care procedures.
