It seems that there are no women who would not know that eye color is best emphasized by contrasting shadows. However, the work of famous makeup artists convinces us of the opposite. In this connection the question arises: how to choose the right green shadows for green eyes?
It is important to consider not so much the shade of the eyes as the color of the skin and hair. The blonde may be cold and warm. And if the lime color looks organic on the last, then the cold blonde should think about jade, mint or gray-green tones.
The same goes for brunettes. A bright brunette can be with amber, dark olive or snow-white skin, and, accordingly, each will pick up its green shades. For green eyes of a
warm tone, it is not necessary to look for the same warm green colors, in the end, it is possible and even recommended to emphasize the eyes with contrasting shadows. But the overall color type and complementarity of the shade of the shadows to the skin tone is very important, you can not miss it.
It is possible to play in contrast, combine in one make-up different shades of green, cold and warm, because nature does not skimp on such bold combinations. Are there few girls with peach skin and bright golden hair, whose blue eyes against this background seem even brighter? The cool
gray-green eyes of the model in the photo below are emphasized by a jade eyeliner, and the warm herbal color on the upper eyelid goes well with complexion and lip make-up.
It is important to understand that eye makeup with green shades requires a certain knack and perfect skin. The photos that you see in this collection are mostly staged images, many of which are carefully processed in Photoshop. But in life, green shadows for green eyes can look amazing, if you carefully approach the makeup as a whole.
You should also consider the overall brightness and contrast of the image. If you have a medium skin tone, you can use fairly dark shades, however applying too deep tones is likely to be difficult. Green-eyed ladies with fair skin cannot afford dark purple or rich brown tones, except as an accent and subject to careful shading.
The owners of dark skin are in the most advantageous position: although some tones are lost on them and they should use pearlescent shadows with caution, they never risk “overdoing”. If you do not want to think about which shade of shades to choose, it is worthwhile to dwell on golden shades - they will beautifully emphasize any green shade of the eyes, regardless of skin color or hair.
The main principle of choosing green shadows for green eyes: colors should in no case be repeated each other. Repetition is possible only in emphasis. For example, you have emerald eyes and peach skin. Warm shades of green in this case are better than cold ones. It is the light tones of fresh greens that will combine with the skin and allow the eyes to stand out. But, on the other hand, it is possible to use emerald shades with success, but not for the entire eyelid, but by slightly highlighting them, for example, the center of the movable upper eyelid or corner, and the rest of the eye makeup, for example, with brown shades.
Green brown and brown eyes
Green shades for green eyes of this shade can be bright, deep and warm. It is with these eyes that one can actively try saturated mossy, grassy, marsh shades: the eyes will appear even greener.
Brown tones are also very good. It is important that they are warm and saturated. Pay attention to chocolate. To make-up does not seem boring, you can add a bright warm accent.
Green-blue and green-gray eyes
If green eyes have at least a hint of a blue or cold gray tone, then you can try the range that blue eyes usually recommend: copper and orange shades. They will make it possible to emphasize the unusual cold color of such eyes and their blue.
Brown tones are also good. But heavy chocolate should be avoided. If the skin is warm, then brown shades should have a warm shade, and blondes with cold skin will opt for taupe colors.
As for green shades, grassy green shades can look very good, they will help emphasize the blue component in the color of the eyes, but then you need to consider that the skin tone must be warm, wheat.
If the color type is clearly cold, then emerald tones are good. Light turquoise and emerald shades look especially beautiful on brunettes with delicate white skin.
Deep green eyes
The ideal shade color for bright green eyes that do not even have a slight hint of a blue hue is purple and plum tones. They perfectly fit the eyes of a deep green color, as they do not suppress it.
Applying the actual green shadows is quite difficult - there is a risk that the eyes will be lost, but the green shadows in this case will be a wonderful accent.
For example, you can
highlight the inner corner of the eye
with green shadows. If you have mature skin, then saturated dark shadows will not suit you, but you can use them as eyeliner.
What other shadows will suit green eyes?
Holders of green eyes should exclude blue and blue tones, although such an option is possible under certain conditions, for example, you have cold fair skin, and it is necessary to emphasize it. In any case, it should be borne in mind that cold blue, blue tones will deprive green eyes of their brightness and expressiveness. Suitable eye shadow color for green eyes - warm light colors:
- Apricot and peach, all their shades.
- Pink shadows.
- Silvery shadows.
- The whole purple-lilac-violet gamma.
- Brown tones, from subtle to saturated.
- Green shadows.
Thus, despite the fact that it is most advantageous to use contrasting colors, green shadows for green eyes can be a really good choice: the main thing is to work with the image as a whole.
