The magic of green eyes: makeup secrets

Witchcraft and enchanting green eyes are a deep pool in which you want to drown. The owners of such eyes are incredibly lucky, because with the right make-up you can captivate any man, maybe even a prince, with your beauty and charm.

We all admire the image of the charming actress Grace Kelly, who became the Queen of Monaco. She had stunning green eyes, as they said, the color of Parma violet. Elizabeth Taylor never ceased to captivate men with the beauty of her divine emerald eyes. Angelina Jolie, Keira Knightley, Aishwarya Rai - they all captivated the hearts of many men on the planet, and the green iris probably helped them in this.

What makeup is suitable for green eyes?

In order for makeup to really look advantageous and suit your eyes, you should arm yourself with a couple of tips. The fact is that girls with green eyes have different shades of color, for example, grayish-green, olive, closer to caramel and others. The choice of shadows will depend on these nuances.

Choosing the right makeup for green eyes

We focus on each specific case:

For brown-green eyes, purple, greenish (swamp) shadows and almost the entire palette of purple are suitable. In addition, if a girl has blond hair, then a golden color would be an excellent solution. Do not be afraid of copper, silver and peach color schemes - they will suit the owner of such eyes. We apply mascara for an evening look in several layers, and the arrow should be made thin.
The color of the iris in green-blue eyes often varies depending on the environment, so light shades of shadows are suitable for them.
Light green eyes will also benefit from light shades, and dark green should be used to line the lash line or outline the eyelid along the bottom and top contour.
You cannot apply a dark palette to yellowish-green eyes with shimmering golden irises - the colors should be slightly lighter than those present on the iris.
For grayish-green eyes, it is forbidden to use blue shadows, which will simply correct the natural beauty.

The following shades will suit these eyes:

plum;
cold pink and lilac;
copper;
olive;
peach

Little secret

When choosing a color for gray-green eyes, makeup artists try to choose a shade that appears in the iris. For example, in daytime makeup you can include shades of cool gray color, and in evening makeup - gray-black.

What should be the right makeup for green eyes: advice from makeup artists

To ensure that your magical eyes attract others with their beauty, follow a couple of basic rules.

Makeup options for green eyes for all occasions

Smokey eye makeup for green eyes

Makeup in the “smoky eye” style is intended for going to parties, presentations, red carpets and other special events.
Creation instructions:

We prepare the skin for make-up by applying a nourishing cream to it. As soon as it dries thoroughly (10-15 minutes), you can proceed.
We select the desired type of “cat’s eye”, do either a strong raising of the outer corners, or a slight one.
Let's emphasize the line of the eyebrows. Choose a pencil with a coffee or dark brown tint, which is close to the natural color. Apply light shadows under the eyebrow.
Apply eyeliner, and the contour should gradually thicken towards the outer edge. Now we shade the light strokes of the palette you have chosen, having previously applied them to the middle of the brow area. We place the same shadows below.
Now, starting from the center of the eye, apply a darker color.
Finish it off with the darkest shade of your chosen palette. Apply a couple of layers of mascara to your eyelashes.
Choose a glossy lipstick, preferably in light colors, so that the emphasis falls on your eyes and you don’t look vulgar.

Daily makeup for green eyes

To ensure that everyday makeup for green eyes is not flashy, but emphasizes their beauty and depth, use these tips:

up to the superciliary arch, the entire surface of the eyelid is covered with a basic light base;
apply a peach or coffee-milk color on top of the base, then shade it;
makeup for green eyes for every day requires applying shadows of dark colors from the middle of the eyelid to the area under the crease, while the line should smoothly thicken from the inner edge of the eye to the outer;
if you want to add depth to your eyes, highlight the lower eyelid with dark shadows;
the final part of the daytime look will be eyeliner and shadows (don’t overdo it);
Pay special attention to careful shading.

Makeup for green eyes step by step

Apply foundation to the entire eyelid. To do this, choose shades of beige colors. Start applying first on the main eyelid from the lash line, and finish with the subbrow arch.
Now we shade the entire eyelid with peach or milky coffee shadows.
Apply white eyeliner under the eyebrow.
Draw a dark brown, or maybe gray, line along the curve of the eyelid and near the growth of the eyelashes. Remember, it should expand smoothly from the beginning of the eye to the corner. Don't forget to merge the two lines into one at the corners of the eyes. Blend well.
We give the eyes a slight depth - we line the lower eyelid with a pencil, and then lightly shade it with a darker shade of the palette used.
Draw a small arrow on the upper eyelid, shade it slightly with the color that was used as the main one to highlight the upper eyelid.
Don't forget about eyebrows. We use the standard technique of shading them, drawing the bottom and top lines with a pencil. Try to choose the color of your eyebrows to match the color of your hair.

A little advice

If you want to slightly elongate the rounded shape of the eyes, make the line at the outer corner more elongated. This will make your bow look a little cat-like, more alluring and attractive.

Natural makeup for green eyes

Now naturalness and ease are back in fashion. That is why many makeup artists have long moved away from bright colors, devoting their creativity to creating “natural” makeup.

Natural makeup for green eyes involves using pastel or light brown shades as a basis. In addition, the contour pencil is chosen not black, but gray or coffee - to match the selected shadow palette.

Dear ladies, if you want to look natural, then choose the right foundation. To achieve a romantic and delicate image, it must be of high quality and not too dark. Remember, you shouldn’t emphasize your cheekbones with “brick” or nuclear blush; opt for peach tones or light pink.

Light makeup for green eyes is performed as follows:

A basic light tone is applied to the eyelid.
From above, stepping behind the main fold, they paint with shadows from the “coffee with milk” palette. Do not forget to make several movements with the brush on the lower eyelid. Blend well.
Take a darker tone of the palette and make a few strokes in the outer corner of the eye, smoothly moving to the top.
Tip: To make your makeup look natural, do not overdo it with dark color and do not distribute it towards the middle. It is enough to highlight only the outer corners to make your eyes look natural.
Draw a very thin line with a pencil in the direction of eyelash growth. Line the lower eyelid in the same way. Apply a drop of the base palette to the arrow and blend.
We tint the eyelashes.

Make sure there are no lumps.

Unusual makeup ideas for green eyes

Bright makeup for green eyes is an art. It must be selected taking into account the color type and tone of the iris. So, for example, if you have a warm color type (not pale skin and bright eyes), experiment with brown-gold shades.

Turquoise color is perfect for emerald eyes.

Girls with brown hair should include silver colors in their makeup. Also, the depth of their eyes will be perfectly emphasized by cold metallic pink.

Light girls will go for olive and bright green colors. These shades harmonize beautifully with greenish-brown eyes.

An original option is to apply shadows, when one color is used in the center, and another color is used on the outer and inner corners of the eyes.

Oddly enough, green eyes simply adore the color red, which will add a touch of audacity and superiority to the owner’s look.

You can experiment and apply your makeup in the form of a petal. To do this, make a long, elongated curl towards the edge of the eye, and also use a palette of green shades, ranging from gold to rich green.

Lilac makeup is appropriate both for going to a party and for creating an image for everyone. We recommend using bright colors only for visiting the club. Purple shadows suit any type, eye and hair color.

Your look will be spectacular only if you use shades of a purple and light green palette.

Spectacular makeup for green eyes step by step:

On the eyelid we shade the base pastel tone.
We apply a light green color to the middle, and then move the emphasis to bright purple, which we place along the top and in the outer corner.
Eyelashes for such make-up need to be painted in several layers.

How to draw an eyebrow correctly

We all know that beautiful eyes should be properly framed. Therefore, dear women, you need to learn how to draw an eyebrow.

Technique:

First we make the outline with a brown pencil: draw the lower part more intensively.
Fill in the area under the bottom contour with a pencil in a lighter tone than your skin.
We draw hairs on the bend, reaching the beginning of the eyebrow.
Now blend the dark color with a blunt brush. You can comb your eyebrows with a special brush.
At the beginning of the eyebrows, shadows are applied to match the color of the hairs.

Now your makeup will be flawless. The main thing is not to overdo it, because your eyebrows should look natural.

If you want to look like the Egyptian queen Cleopatra or an Indian princess, make beautiful wings on the lower or upper eyelid in a chic emerald or gold color.

We hope that our makeup lessons for green eyes were not in vain. Choose the right shades of shadows for each light type and color of the iris, take into account the shape of the eyelid and do not forget to beautifully highlight the eyebrow.
