Pinks can also really help draw attention to your eyes, too. Try blending a lighter and darker shade for a dramatic effect. Shadows with a gold tone can help make hazel eyes look more green. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different shades. Try going to a department store and asking the salesperson if you can try some samples. Samples are a great way to try new products without spending any money.
Begin by applying a dark gray shadow just above the crease in your eyelid. Use a medium sized eye shadow brush to brush this color in an arch-shape. With your finger or the brush, blend the shadow downwards. Use a soft black eyeliner to outline your upper lash line. Using your finger or a small eyeshadow brush, blend this line. With your smallest eye brush, apply a lighter gray shade along your lower lash line. Blend. Apply the paler gray shadow over the outer half of your top lid, blending it into the other colors. Apply a light silver shadow to the inner corner of your eyelids. This will make the overall effect look a bit brighter.
Choose a mascara that creates the effect you want: longer lashes, volume, or both. It usually takes 2-3 coats to achieve lush-looking lashes. If you really want volume, try false eyelashes. Don’t use old mascara. Using a product that is past its prime is the main reason people end up with clumpy, flaky lashes. Get a new mascara every 6 months.
Neat, well-defined brows draw attention to your green eyes and make them look larger.
Protect your skin from the sun. Use a moisturizer that contains at least 20 SPF, even if it’s not a sunny day. Cleanse your skin morning and night. Make sure to gently pat dry with a clean towel. Practice healthy habits. Get enough sleep, and eat a healthy diet. Your skin will show it.
You can also emphasize your eyes by wearing deep greens, yellow, and coral. For a complementary look, choose colors that look nice with your skin tone. If your skin is warm, yellow or coral may look best. Cool skin tones will be flattered by violet or grape shades. If you have hazel eyes, there are specific shades you can wear to bring out the green. Try dark neutral colors (think gray), lavender, and burgundy.
Forget the old adage that says not to wear white after labor day. A luxurious winter white can make your green eyes glow. Gray and black can also provide a neutral backdrop to illuminate your emerald eye color.
Earrings are a good way to draw attention to your eye area. Studs are classic and look great on everyone. Larger earrings can also be a great statement piece. Green eyes tend to look good with gold tones, so try to find some gold or bronze pieces. The right glasses can really show off your eyes. Green eyes look great with the dark, modern frames that are currently in style.
Take good care of your smile. Practice good oral hygiene to make your teeth shine as much as your eyes.
