Makeup For Green Eyes

Makeup for Green Eyes

Hey friends!!

Hope you had a great weekend! I am starting something new on my blog today and I hope you enjoy it! Each month I’m going to take different eye colors and tell you what eye shadows,  cream shadows, and liners work best with that eye color. I love things like this because you can really enhance your eyes with the right shadows. Today I’m starting with Green Eyes because… it’s my eye color! :)

Makeup for Green Eyes:

Green eyes are really enhanced with purple, plum, wine, brown with red undertones, and rose gold. Any shadows with a slight purple tone will work as well, such as a grey/purple or taupe. I am a true test that purple shadows do make green eyes look more green and bright.

Makeup for Green Eyes

The items shown in the pictures above are from my collection and are just suggestions for you if you have green eyes. Hopefully this will help you! :)

Shadows:

Toasted from the Naked Palette: Shimmery purple taupe

Milani Bella Eyes in Bella Rouge: A brighter wine color, full review here.

Lancome Color Design Quad in Showstopper Style: This palette has a great brown with red undertones. Perfect for work.

Candied Violet and Cherry Cordial from Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette: Candied Violet is a really unique deep purple with pink/rose glitter (not like Jr High glitter, but sophisticated glitter). Cherry Cordial is a deep wine with fine glitter.

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette: This whole palette is great for green eyes because it is centered around rose gold. If you have green eyes and don’t know which Naked palette to get…get this one!! :)

Milani Bella Eyes in Bella Violet: Iridescent purple shadow, this is great if you want purple but nothing too intense. This was used in the picture of my eye above. Full review here.

Cream Shadow: 

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Painted Purple: This is a true bright purple that is absolutely beautiful. It can be used as a shadow or liner. This is so easy to apply and doesn’t crease throughout the day.

Eye Liner:

Eyeko Skinny Liquid Liner in Purple: OMG this liner is amazing, a beautiful purple that lasts ALL DAY LONG, plus the color can go darker if you apply more pressure.

Starlooks Pencil Liner in Amethyst: Really creamy silvery purple. Gorgeous.

So these are just some of my favorite makeup to wear if I really want my green eyes to pop. If you have green eyes definitely try purples, wines, browns with red undertones, and rose gold. That’s all you will want to wear after you try it! :)

Do you wear makeup to compliment your eye or hair color?

    I have Hazel eyes and mine are a little more on the green than brown so I can wear a lot of different colors. As I get older I think they are getting more green. Anyway, thanks for the tips and ideas on some slightly different shades to use as I seem to get stuck using and being drawn toward the same colors all the time. I’m not an artistic person so your suggestions are super helpful!

      Yea so with Hazel eyes you can pretty much go either way, green or brown, which is really great! I’m so glad this was helpful to you!! Thanks for stopping by! :)

    Hi, I love the green eyes make up examples. I have found purples, lavenders really make my eyes stand out. But for some reason this color causes an allergy after I wear it for a few hours … watery, red eyes. Can you suggest products with this color that may not cause such a reaction?

      Hey!! I would try to go for purple eye shadows that are organic, with no parabens or bad ingredients. Lush has amazing eye shadows that are completely safe and great for sensitive eyes. Plus they have some beautiful purples. Unfortunately there aren’t as many options in the drugstore for things like this. Hope this helps! :)

    I remember a few years ago when Almay came out with their makeup collections specifically designed to bring out certain eye colors. I used their products for several years, but then I got bored wearing the same color all the time! I love how you mentioned a whole range of colors to make your eyes pop. Great series!

      Oh yea I remember those, and Physicians Formula has some good eyeliners and things for different color eyes. For some reason those always irritated my eyes tho :/

      Thanks so much Megan!! :)

    Ohhhh I’m so excited for this! I can’t wait for you to share what brown-eyed gals should wear! Sometimes I get a little adventurous and go for colored eyeliners but now I’ve gotten myself hooked on black! Your eyes are gorgeous by the way!

      Aww thank you so much!! Yes this will be a really fun series to do and I definitely hope you learn something when I talk about Brown eyes! :)

      And for the most part, I stick to black eyeliner too but I do try to play around with other ones as much as I can!

    I have brown eyes. I’ve heard that means I can wear any color I want! It’s nice to not have to worry about whether or not a color compliments my eye color. Instead, I choose colors according to my outfit.

      You are right brown eyes do go with everything. I am still going to write about brown eyes later this year! I never really worry if a color compliments my green eyes or not, pretty much any color will look good with any eye but certain colors make the eye appear brighter and more vibrant. I rarely coordinate my eye makeup with my outfit, I normally just coordinate my lipstick to it. :)

        I’ve always worn shadows in purple/violet/lavandar and Bella Khaki. I’ve never tried a red like Rouge, but since I have a cart filled with my Milani choices, I’ll add it and the brown. I think the Naked palettes are far too expensive just for 2 colors of eyeshdows, having to buy the whole kit. Do es the Nakeds sell shadows individually? My eyes are very green, and for years I’ve been asked what shadows I’m wearing that make my eye color Pop! For night I wear a bit more in the Purple color range and use a purple/black eye liner and Blackest Black Mascara, which is the new Maybelline Mascara, and it really makes your lashes curl. Lipsticks have always been in the Maybelline Nudes to Brownish ,or Plums with a hint of black. I experment a lot with shagws, blushes and lipsticks, as my favorite color of clothing is Black,Khakis, Navy, Toast, Denim and a big range in between for accessories.

        Thanks for the tips, I can’t find the Lancome Shadows on Amazon, Lancome pulled their ad out it say, due o a mistake in the colors and their copy. I was a Lancome lady for ages, but their prices are in the YSL,Dior category, I’ve just gotten their polishes, and looked for less expensive lines. Have you seen Milani’s 4 purple Nail Show polish, it goes from light Amethyist
        to a viole. There are Brown in Essie and I hit the polish jackpot with their Neutrals Deux2, all the colors are browns, mauves and Plums in their Fall polishes.Very au courant.

        Thanks for the tips, I follow ypur hints!!
