Buying makeup is
a whole lot of fun, but it's not just about picking shades that complement your
skin tone. You should also take your eye color into account as well. If you
have green eyes, try these makeup tips to bring out the best in your eyes.
Play with purples
Bring out your
gorgeous green eyes with purple shades of makeup. Because purple is on the
opposite side of the color wheel from green, it's a great choice for green-eyed
gals. To widen the look of close-set eyes, apply shades of deep plum eyeshadow
toward the outer edges and a lighter shade of purple toward the inner eye. If
your eyelids are a little droopy, do the opposite. Avoid purples with blue undertones,
as well as blue eyeshadow and eyeliner. If deep shades of purple are a little
too much for you, ease into the purple look by using grayish-lavender shadow.
SheKnows beauty
expert Nina Sutton advises, "For green eyes, choose color tones such as
dark green, lavender, purple, plum or lilac. Gold and copper are great for
highlighting green eyes. For eyeliner, it is best to avoid black and to choose
browns or gray, which are much softer and not so harsh. A general rule of thumb
for green eyes is to choose warm shades vs. cooler shades. Choose mascara in a
brown tone as well so the face does not look harsh or overpowered."
Avoid silver
If you want to
experiment with metallics, avoid silver shades on the eyes. However, bronze,
copper and gold look absolutely fabulous with green eyes for evening. Earthy
brown or dark green eyeshadow with flecks of gold are also terrific choices.
Ditch the black eyeliner
Everyone loves
black eyeliner but it isn't the best choice for green-eyed women. Use chocolate
brown or espresso liner for everyday wear. To spice things up, try plum or
gold. To open up your eyes and make them pop, add a little white eyeliner to
the inner corner near the tear duct. If you absolutely have your heart set on
black liner, pick charcoal instead of true black. But believe us — brown
will look much better!
