Makeup master class for green eyes

The article discusses the rules for applying makeup for owners of green eyes: evening, day, everyday, light, etc. Instructions for performing wedding make-up and smokey eyes are provided.

Cosmetics colors for green eyes

Makeup artists consider green a universal color, since almost any shade of decorative cosmetics is suitable. But when choosing, be guided by your color type and appearance features.

Basic shades of shadows and pencils for green-eyed beauties:

Bronze shades. Usually suitable for girls with “spring” and “autumn” color types. Such pigments will make your look soft and warm. For beautiful daytime makeup, use products without mirror shine on a matte base. In the evening, you can paint your eyelids with shiny and golden shadows.
Copper shades. Such cosmetics can be considered ideal for green-eyed beauties, regardless of color type. The exception is black-haired women with wide and black eyebrows. Usually, it is recommended to line the eyebrows with a brown or ash pencil under copper shadows. Otherwise you will get the effect of “sore eyes”.
Purple eyeshadow. Warm purple tones are suitable for makeup in the summer. Cool shades are indispensable when applying daytime makeup in winter.
Green shades. This is a classic for green-eyed beauties. The darker the eyes, the darker the shadow or pencil should be.

Prohibited shades for green-eyed girls:

Blue. This color gives a tired look. Usually, against a background of rich blue, green eyes become dull and expressionless.
Silver. This shade also “steals” the beauty and unusualness of green eyes. Contraindicated for ladies with light olive eyes.
Brick and reddish tones. They make the eyes feel “painful.” It seems that the girl just cried or rubbed her eyelids.

How to do makeup step by step for green eyes

Daytime and club makeup differ from each other not only in color schemes, but also in the technique of applying cosmetics. When going to the office, choose light pigments and apply cosmetics in good lighting. It is worth doing this in daylight.

Instructions for creating daytime makeup for green eyes

Before using eyeshadow, apply foundation and makeup base. Be sure to use concealer to hide bags, bruises and spider veins. You also need to apply foundation on your eyelids. This way the shadows will not fall off and will last until the evening.

Instructions for performing daytime makeup for light green eyes:

Apply matte beige pigment to the crease and under the eyebrow. Its color should be close to natural. If you have fair skin, use a base with a pinkish tint. If you are dark-skinned, use a brownish matte pigment.
Carefully blend the borders.
Draw a stripe along the crease of the upper eyelid with a brown pencil and smooth the edges with a brush. There should be a dark stripe.
In the area of the outer corner of the eyes, blend a dark brown pigment without glitter. Use a dry brush towards the inner corner and make several smooth strokes. This way you will hide the border.
Draw the upper part of the lower eyelid with a dark green pencil with glitter. Use a clean, stiff brush to hide the borders.
From the pupil, along the upper fold of the eye, draw with a beveled, hard brush to the outer corner. If the corners are drooping, try to move the brush not strictly along the eyelid, but a little higher towards the temple. This will visually raise the corners.
Highlight the eyebrow with a brown pencil. Try to use pencils with a hard core. Draw with strokes, simulating hairs.
Paint your eyelashes with dark gray mascara.

Applying evening makeup for green-eyed beauties

The colors of the shadows are selected based on the color type of appearance. Brunettes should choose rich and dark pigments. Be sure to use pigment with glitter and pearl. Makeup should be catchy and rich. But don't overdo it, otherwise you will look vulgar.

Instructions for performing evening makeup for dark green eyes:

Using a sponge, work all the folds with foundation. Treat your eyelids with a base.
Using a soft black pencil, draw a line along the entire lash line of the upper fold. There is no need to shade anything.
On the upper eyelid, using a stiff brush, apply dark green, rich shadows with pearl. The glitter should be golden. This will add a shimmering shine to your look.
Apply a soft brush with dark brown pigment to the middle of the fixed upper eyelid.
From the middle of the lower eyelid to the outer corner of the eye, apply bright green shadows with glitter.
From the middle to the inner corner, draw a line with olive shadows with golden glitter.
Don't forget to mask the border. The transition should be smooth.
Use a black pencil to draw the mucous membrane at the bottom of the eyelid (this technique is only suitable for those with large eyes).
Along the top crease, just above the lash line, apply liquid black eyeliner. In the area of the outer corner of the eye, direct the strip upward towards the eyebrow.
Finish your eyelashes with black mascara.

Performing smokey eye makeup for green-eyed women

Choose shades of shadows, taking into account the color of your hair and skin. For girls with dark skin, a palette of brown and gray shades is suitable. Blondes can use pink, violet and lilac pigments.

Instructions for performing a smokey eye for a green-eyed blonde:

Apply foundation and base.
On the top crease from the middle to the inner corner, apply a thin layer of pink eyeshadow with pearlescent.
In the area of the outer corner, along the line of the upper eyelid, apply dark gray shadows with a silver sheen.
Along the line between the eye and the eyebrow (in the crease), draw a brick-colored line. Blend it with movements, directing them towards the eyebrow.
Apply black pigment to the lower eyelid just below the eyelashes.
Prime your lashes with black or dark brown mascara.

Please note that smokey eyes are a smoky and alluring look that is achieved by shading with dark shadows.

If there is a gap between two lines, fill it.
Apply mascara to your eyelashes.

For everyday make-up, you can use matte shadows in pastel colors. They apply well and do not create borders. To highlight your eyebrows, you can apply lighter shadows underneath them. Makeup artists recommend using dark gray or brown instead of black mascara and eyeliner.

Creating wedding makeup for green eyes

Wedding makeup should not be flashy, but should highlight the eyes. You can use both matte and pearlescent pigments. Choose a pigment, taking into account the features of the wedding dress. In summer, many brides combine a white dress with a wreath of pink flowers. In this case, you can use a pink and purple palette.

Align the boundaries.
Just below the lower eyelid, draw a stripe of dark brown pigment.
From the inner corner to the middle of the fold, apply a layer of cool blue pigment.
From the middle of the upper fold, in the eyelash growth area, draw a thin strip with a black liner.
Apply mascara to your eyelashes.

Of course, only a makeup artist can tell you how to properly paint the eyes of green-eyed ladies. He will evaluate the beauty’s color type and determine suitable and prohibited shades.

Some tips for makeup for green eyes:

Try to very rarely use a black pencil or liner for makeup. Opt for chocolate and dark gray pigments. Black suits brunettes.
Choose your pink pigments very carefully. With this color you can create a chic summer look or make your eyes look “sick”. This rule also applies to purple shades.
If you have huge eyes, draw a very thin line using eyeliner and apply mascara in one layer.
The number of shades of one color should not be more than three. Otherwise, you risk making your eyes “dirty” or smudged.
Apply a light pigment to the inner part of the eyelid, and a dark pigment to the outer part.
If you have drooping corners of your eyes, you can shade the shadows towards your eyebrows. This way you will visually eliminate the defect.
For small eyes, do not use very dark colors. Choose a smoky eye or nude technique.
When performing wedding make-up, take into account the colors used for decoration. If the dress is embroidered with gold threads, be sure to use golden glitter in your makeup.
Green eyes themselves are very expressive and bright, so when doing daytime makeup, do not use dark pearlescent shadows. The maximum allowed is to draw a line along the eyelash growth contour along the upper eyelid.
Don't be afraid to experiment and you'll soon figure out what suits you best.
