Makeup For Green Eyes

PLAY WITH PURPLES Bring out your 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 people. 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.

AVOID SILVER If you want to experiment with metallics, avoid silver shades on the eyes. However, bronze, copper and gold look absolutely amazing with green eyes. Earthy brown or dark green eyeshadow with flecks of gold are also great choices.

DITCH BLACK EYELINER Everyone loves black eyeliner but it isn't the best choice for green-eyed people. 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.
