Green-eyed
beauties rarely avoid comparison with witches, sorceresses, charmers, and other
magically-endowed characters. It is not surprising that green-eyed ladies have
always been particularly attractive, especially if their hair is fiery red.
This lovely combination is a true explosive mix. Bright green eyes is a rare
phenomenon, as green eyes often have brown speckles, or have subtle shades of turquoise
blue or warm olive. That's why it's rather difficult to give any tips or
describe the makeup technique, suitable for any green-eyed girl. The variety of
shades, as well as facial features of a girl, her skin tone and hair color - all
these factors must be taken into consideration, especially when you know that green
eyes can be strikingly beautiful with the right make up.
First, pick
an eye shadow that complements the green tones of your eyes. Brown, gold, plum
and green hues (emerald, olive, bottle green) will contrast perfectly to
highlight the green in your eyes. Green shades will make your eye color pop
while plum and purple hues will deliver a dramatic effect.
Some girls
make a big mistake when applying a single eye shadow color on the whole eye-lid
or fully trace the contour of the eye, especially if the color matches the
green shade of the eyes. In this case, the whole picture will be a color blur,
and others will appreciate neither the beautiful eye shadow color, no the
beautiful eyes. The rule of thumb with the green eye make-up is to create a
play of colors, use several color shades, which will emphasize the natural eye
color.
The hit of
the past seasons which is still trendy today is the application of different
shades on the upper and lower eyelid. In this makeup, the lower eyelid has to
be slightly touched or carefully outlined with the shade which is close to the
eye color, but the upper eyelid should be highlighted with a different shade.
Green-eyed
girls who belong to so called «winter type» (fair complexion, porcelain skin,
emerald eyes with a touch of translucent blue, dark or blonde hair) can try
purple or pink, gray-green shade for the
upper eyelid color. Lash line on the lower lid can be traced with a green pencil
or shadow.
If you're «spring»
or «autumn» type (reddish hair, olive skin, brown-green eyes), you'd like a more
natural makeup. Highlight your upper lid with pure brown, copper or
greenish-brown shade, and trace a green line along the lower lash line. The
lower eyelid shade can be bright olive or emerald, especially with the matching
clothes color. One more great tip for brightening up green colored eyes is
using bright and light shades of eye shadow to inside corners of eyes will
brighten your eyes and make you look more lively and awake.
Choose a
natural, brown liner to accentuate your eyes. Traditional, black liners will
take away from the color of your eyes. For a more dramatic, evening look, try
liners in plum or green shades instead of black. Use a dark brown mascara to
brighten and open your eyes. Mascara works to lift and extend lashes and really
helps them shine. The natural brown color will do it without drawing attention
from your green eyes.
Keep the
rest of your makeup minimal to draw focus to your eyes. Choosing neutral blush
and lip color shades will let your green eyes stand.
