Get the Prettiest Green Eyes

To get the prettiest green eyes, you need to work with the colors and tones on your skin and hair, but don't underestimate your own look. Try out different colors and see for yourself what works best for your personal style and what you are looking for.

Take good care of your eyes by removing eye makeup each night, and using a good moisturizer. Taking care of your eyes and its surrounding delicate tissue will result in more beautiful eyes.

For A Dramatic Look
There are many ways to achieve a dramatic look - here are a few methods to try.

Using Amethyst (a bold purple shade) and a liner brush, line both the top and bottom portions of the eye. To make the eye appear larger line only from the center out on both portions. Leave the line thick and bold and dust with 14 Karat Gold or 24 Karat (Shimmering Minerals) on the upper lid.

Using Teal Shimmer (Shimmering Minerals) or Emerald (Exclusive Multipurpose Minerals) and a liner brush, line the top and bottom lids with a very thin line. Blend into a slightly thicker line with Charcoal Grey or Intrigue (both Multi Purpose & Eye shadows) for a smoky effect, and use Pink Gem, Pink Shimmer, or any peach/pink combination for eye shadow.

Using Harvest, Cinnamon Brown, or Cacao create a bold sweep of color on the top lid. Smudge a much lighter, but complementary shadow under the eye and use as the contour shade for the upper lid. Finish with a light, neutral shadow all over (I suggest Bare or Cheers).

For Natural-Looking Beautiful Green Eyes
Subtle shadow and mascara draw attention to gorgeous green eyes. You don't always have to go bold for green eyes to look incredible. You can also use eye makeup to achieve a very natural look that makes your eyes stand out. Light colors are typically more natural looking, so depending on your skin, hair, and specific shade of green eyes, you may want to try peaches, pinks, tawny colors, taupe’s, light coppers, matte golds, and subdued greens and lilacs for a softer, sweeter, and more natural look.

A few other ways to get pretty green eyes without the made-up look:

Using your fingertip or q-tip, blend Bare or Cheers along the upper and lower lash line. Curl lashes and finish with two coats of mascara one to two shades darker than your natural lashes. This will give a lovely, very natural look that still draws attention to your green eyes.

Dot a Penny (Shimmering Minerals) line along the upper eyelid and smudge gently with your fingertip or eyeliner tool. Add a contour with a hint of green shadow, highlight gently sweep a lighter, but complementary copper shade below the brow bone. Use White ~ Matte on the inner part of the lower lid and teal shimmer or Amethyst for brighter green eyes.

Mascara for Pretty Green Eyes
Even using mascara alone with green eyes can look stunning. Unless you have dark hair, you may want to stay away from dark black mascara. Opt for those with a copper, purple, or green undertone to draw attention to your gorgeous eyes. With Affordable Mineral Makeup you can make your own mascara. See other tips in this blog.
