Now that we’ve covered the best makeup colors for green eyes and a whole bunch of tutorials, here are a few makeup tips for your green eyes:
No matter the color of your eyes, an eye primer is essential to help your eyeshadow stay in place longer and prevent falling out.
Wear neutral brown tones for a subtle daytime look.
If you want to bring out the green in your eyes, try purples, pinks, and reds.
It’s best to avoid eyeshadows with blue undertones as they will only make your eyes appear dull.
Opt for a slate gray or brown eyeliner instead of black for everyday use.
Wearing a peach blush will complement your eyes well. However, if you have cool skin tone, try a blusher with a pink hue (match it with the rest of your makeup).
