How To Choose the Right Makeup for Green Eyes

"I have green eyes.  What colors should I use to bring them out?" "My eyes are green, so I was wondering what the right makeup color is for me?" Sound familiar? If so, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a seat and read on to discover the right makeup colors to enhance the beauty of your own green eyes.

1. A wonderful way to bring out those stunning green eyes is with eyeshadow. You'll find that warm colors like deep purples, plums, mauves, lilacs, golds, bronzes, deep greens, coppers, browns, medium pinks, peaches, and apricots are all excellent choices for green eyes.

2. You should avoid cool colors like blues, silvers, whites and pastels since they can give you a washed-out look.
3. Another thing you might want to consider when choosing the right makeup for your green eyes is the color of your eyeliner. Black eyeliner tends to be harsh and it's probably best to avoid it. Try browns instead, and for special occasions, golds or bronzes.
4. You should also take into consideration your blush and lipstick colors.  For blushes, brown, rose and peach and apricot are all good color choices. Try brown, rose, mauve, plum and burgundy colors for lipsticks.
5. If you would like to take choosing the right makeup for green eyes one step further, your skin tone can also make a difference in the colors you choose. Dark skin tones with green eyes look best in colors such as mauve, bronze and medium purple. Medium skin tones with green eyes look best in colors like mauves, medium purples, and brownish pinks. For pale skin tones with green eyes, try colors like medium pinkish brown and medium purple.
6. A few things you might want to keep in mind when applying eyeshadows: Use lighter colors like peach, taupe or apricot to highlight the brow bone. Try darker shades like earthy brown, deep purple or green for the crease and medium shades such as pinkish brown, mauve or lilac for the eyelid.

Also keep in mind that not everyone has the same shade of green eyes, so while some of the colors suggestions above might work for you, others might not. It's always a good idea to experiment with colors since it allows you to find the right shades that will work for you. Remember bringing attention to your green eyes will take a little practice, but with the right makeup, the results will be simply stunning.
