Makeup Tips for Green Eyes

Are you bedazzled by those emerald colored eyes, a la Angelina Jolie or Britney Spears? Yes, I am mentioning the lovely green eyes these two have. 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! Nevertheless, such a beautiful and rare thing qualifies for thoughtful makeup too. That is why, if you have been blessed with green eyes, do take a look at the tips given below, to accentuate and highlight the lovely color.

Accentuating Green Eyes with Makeup

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.

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, too, but try not to create an icy or a very harsh look.

Eye Shadow
So what color of eye shadow will accentuate your eyes? Well, again, go for warmer colors. Apricots and taupe (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
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.

I hope those who are reading this and who have green eyes or know someone who does, would benefit from this.
