All the nuances and subtleties of makeup for girls with green eyes

Green eyes are quite rare, especially without admixtures of brown or gray. Therefore, the main task of makeup for green-eyed girls is to highlight this unusual color, emphasize its beauty and attract attention, which is achieved using a variety of makeup application techniques.

Features of makeup for green eyes depending on hair color

It is no secret that depending on the lighting, clothing and makeup, green eyes can change shade; therefore, it is extremely important to choose the right beautiful and contrasting makeup. Professional makeup artists advise choosing shades from a warm palette to highlight your eyes.

The most suitable shades of shadows for green-eyed girls are in purple tones. Ideal eyeshadow options for girls with green eyes:

Plum;
Eggplant;
Lilac;
Lavender;
Pink;
Lilac;
Mustard;
Peach;
Chocolate;
Emerald;
Brick.

A scarlet undertone in the shadows, burgundy eyeliner or red mascara is a great way to highlight the color of your eyes and the expressiveness of your gaze.

However, red tints must be handled with caution, as depending on the skin tone, such a tint can give the appearance of soreness. To avoid the effect, you need to dilute your makeup with a black or dark brown element.

In some cases, shadows can be replaced with soft pink blush. The basic rule is a light and soft undertone, possibly with a peach tint. The main thing is that the blush must be dry; with a creamy texture, problems may arise during application.

Lipsticks for green-eyed girls are suitable for colors used in classic and retro makeup:

Red;
Bordeaux;
Burgundy;
Wine;
Purple;
Dark pink;
Violet;
Peach;
Cinnamon;
Chocolate.

The advantage of green eyes is that almost all known makeup techniques are suitable for them. Colored arrows, stylized outer corners of the eyes in a colorful tone and a relief method of applying shadows will look most advantageous.

Ideas for blondes

It is especially important to choose the right makeup for green eyes and blond hair. Without the right eyeshadow combination, green eyes can get lost against a bright background. The following shades are especially suitable for green-eyed blondes:

Taupe;
Peach;
Dusty Rose;
Lilac;
Green;
Turquoise;
Dark grey;
Blue.

The most fashionable and relevant shade will be taupe - a combination of gray-brown color with a lilac undertone. If you complement this makeup with neat arrows, you can achieve a stunning effect.

Mascara of almost any shade suits blond hair and green eyes: black, gray, brown, with glitter. The same can be said about eyeliner, especially caramel or green. A blue and burgundy arrow will look no less beautiful.

Lipsticks for green-eyed blondes can be chosen in any shade. Brown shades and orange pigments work best. The choice of lipsticks should focus on bright colors:

Scarlet;
Marsala;
Berry;
Bright red;
Wine;
Coral.

You can apply lipstick using the ombre technique, creating a smooth transition from one color to another, and do not forget about a pencil for contour. This method will help visually enlarge your lips.

Ideas for brunettes

There are many makeup options for green eyes and dark hair. Thanks to this combination, you can choose almost any technique and color scheme, which will help make the image even more impressive.

Gold;
Turquoise;
Greenery;
Silver;
Purpura;
Fuchsia;
Plums.

Makeup artists also advise using shimmer to add expressiveness to the look, especially for evening celebrations and special events. Shadows with a pearlescent tint will be quite relevant. However, there are a number of contraindications, for example, too obvious bright contouring and brown mascara.

When it comes to eyeliners, it is better to give preference to classic black, purple, green and blue options. Gray arrows are allowed if they have glitter.

For brunettes with green eyes, there is a huge selection of makeup application techniques, ranging from simple arrows to complex techniques, such as the “butterfly”. Depending on the occasion and purpose of the makeup, the tones used in the makeup and, of course, the lipsticks vary.

Fashionable and beautiful shades of lipsticks for dark-haired girls with green eyes:

Plum;
Violet;
Smoky pink;
Beige;
Chocolate.

Saturated lipsticks should be chosen with a matte finish, less bright ones - with a pearlescent sheen. Such combinations will help balance out the makeup without overloading it, especially if the makeup is intended for work or a daytime date.

Selecting makeup for green eyes by time of day

Depending on the purpose of makeup, there are two main types: evening and daytime. Girls with green eyes must take this nuance into account in order to create an image that suits the occasion.

Evening makeup is usually much more colorful and bright than daytime makeup. Everyday makeup focuses on highlighting only the eyes or lips; basically, the emphasis of daytime makeup is placed directly on the eyes.

The shades of shadows and lipsticks corresponding to the event also differ. At the same time, there are universal options, for example, eyeliner makeup or nude smokey eye. The only difference is the tones and the number of bright elements in the image.

Evening

Evening makeup for green eyes necessarily includes bright color nuances. Basically, to create such a make-up, it is recommended to use shades that highlight the color of the eyes and have a shimmering effect.

Ideal eyeshadow options for evening makeup:

Emerald;
Indigo;
Golden;
Chocolate;
Black.

The most fashionable evening makeup technique for green eyes is smokey ice. For a smoky make-up, you should use at least two shades of eyeshadow. The most trendy option will be: golden, green, black, with a brown element.

Another great color combination for an evening smokey eye: yellow, light green, aqua. The transition should be made as smooth as possible from light at the inner corner of the eye to dark on the outside.

A bright smoky makeup will be perfectly complemented by blue eyeliner or pencil applied to the inside of the lower eyelid. Using false eyelashes with this type of makeup would be overkill.

It is better to choose lipsticks for evening makeup depending on other shades:

Towards green: flesh-colored, beige, light brown.
For brown: scarlet, fuchsia, champagne, burgundy.
For purple: light pink, nude, with a purple undertone.
For brick: chocolate, faded pink, natural.

Also, makeup for an evening celebration can be complemented with bright arrows. If the makeup is done in nude tones, it is recommended to use shimmer or rich eyeliner in bronze, gold or indigo color. And, in order not to overload the selected color scheme, you should draw arrows from the same palette, but a shade darker or lighter.

The lightest version of evening makeup is done using a relief technique using shimmer. To do this, you need to cover the entire eyelid with a foundation, preferably a beige nude shade. Then light brown shadows are applied to the moving eyelid, mostly cream for better coverage.

The shimmer is applied to the moving eyelid, then gently shaded onto the fixed eyelid to create a gradient transition. Glitter is also carefully added to the inner corner of the eye and under the lower eyelid in a thin strip.

Day

Creating daytime makeup for green eyes is based on the selection of neutral shades, since everyday makeup is intended mainly for work, business meetings or dates. However, even the daytime option can be made interesting and attractive.

Suitable eyeshadow shades for creating daytime makeup for green eyes:

Peach;
Beige;
Light brown;
Golden;
Chocolate;
Smoky.

Professionals in their field say that for everyday make-up, winged eyeliner: nude, golden, brown or even black will not be superfluous. Regular eyeliner can be replaced with a soft pencil, which should be shaded.

Moreover, it is recommended to dilute daytime makeup for green eyes with a small bright accent. These can be arrows or eyeliner of the lower eyelid in a rich color.

Lipsticks for daytime makeup are also chosen in light and warm colors. Regular lipstick can be replaced with a light gloss with a barely noticeable pink tint, or even use cream blush.

Lipstick shades for daytime makeup for green eyes:

Light brown;
Nude;
Peach;
Soft pink;
With coral undertone.

Step-by-step application of daytime makeup

Everyday makeup for green eyes can be done step by step in delicate colors using a relief technique and adding an unfinished arrow.

Step 1: Using a medium hard brush, apply the base color to the moving eyelid. For this purpose, you can take peach or beige shades, preferably with a pearlescent tint or golden undertone.

Step 2: Using a soft brush, use smooth movements to blend the shadows onto the fixed eyelid and in the outer corner of the eyes so that the shadows resemble a blurry triangle.

Step 3: Using a soft black pencil, draw an arrow from the middle of the eyelash line on the upper eyelid. The arrow should not be wide; it is enough to fill the space between the eyelashes with color.

Step 4: Using black eyeliner we repeat the shape of the existing arrow and complement it. From the inner corner of the eye to the middle, the arrow should expand, and its tip should extend beyond the eyelid. It is recommended to make the outer tip as thin as possible and bend it upward to “open” the eye.

Step 5: Choose an additional shade of eyeshadow. The ideal color would be taupe or dark gray. Using a narrow brush, apply it over the arrow, visually reducing it so that a barely noticeable strip remains until the middle of the eyelid. Then blend closer to the outer corner to achieve a smooth transition.

Step 6: After finishing with shading, carefully so as not to stain the makeup with mascara, we paint over the eyelashes. We try not to let them stick together, otherwise the effect of “natural” makeup will disappear.
