Shadows, eyeliner, mascara: the best shades for hazel-green eyes
Bright green eyes are quite rare. Much more often come across various variations of green - marsh, brownish, golden. Brown-green eyes can have a cold or warm undertone. In addition, the color depends on the environment and time of day. A greenish-brown iris during the day can acquire a steel tint, and when artificial lighting golden sparks ignite in it.

When choosing cosmetics, consider the colors of clothes in the wardrobe, the tone of your skin and hair, lighting, and many other little things. But the main thing is your own taste. You should feel comfortable in the colors you choose. Experienced makeup artists recommend from time to time to revise the usual range, gradually introducing new shades into everyday life. Perhaps some of them will linger in your cosmetic bag.

How to do everyday and holiday makeup
Try a spectacular and simple make-up for every day. Apply a little base under the shadows, gently working it in with your fingertips. On the moving eyelid, put a layer of creamy grayish-beige shadows, darken the outer corner chocolate tone. Line the lower eyelid with the same color.

Brown-green eyes are truly a gift. They make the owner of this eye color mysterious and interesting. Makeup artists claim that makeup for such eyes can be done using various shades. How to do makeup in this case and what colors can be combined? Let's try to find answers to these questions.
Decorative cosmetics
Make-up must be done in stages. Start by cleansing your face. Before proceeding with the direct application of decorative cosmetics, it is necessary to even out the skin tone. For this, a tonal base is used, it will help hide imperfections on the skin (redness, pimples, and so on). It must be applied in a thin layer, as a thick dense layer of the product will create the effect of a mask on your face. It must be remembered that the color of the skin of the face and neck should not differ after applying the foundation.
Eye shadow is selected depending on the occasion and the clothes you are going to wear. But still, makeup artists give some practical advice:
- The first layer of shadows for the entire eyelid should be thin and made with mother-of-pearl or matte beige shadows.
- You can use dark shades that should be darker than the iris.
- So that the eyes do not seem red, as with inflammation or prolonged crying, it is worth abandoning the bright and saturated shades of pink, brown, blue.
- Girls with impending eyelids should not use sharp contrasting transitions, for example, combine white and jet black. In this case, the Smokey Ice technique is well suited, the transition from one color to another should be smooth and imperceptible. This type of makeup is perfect for a wedding.
Pencil and eyeliner in this case can be used in black and brown variants. Owners of close-set eyes need to bring the eyelids, starting from the middle. Draw a line to the outer corner of the eyes along the upper and lower eyelids. Eyebrows, as a rule, do not require the application of any means.
Mascara needs to separate the lashes well for a natural look. Its color can be any: brown, green and black. You need to learn how to correctly combine shades and colors in eye makeup.
Lipstick and gloss can be natural or more bright colors. Suitable red-orange, pink and orange colors. But for brown-gray-green eyes, natural shades of lipstick and non-pearl glosses are more suitable. The eyeliner for such girls is suitable for a brown tint.
Makeup options for brown-green eyes for different occasions
Make up for every day should be restrained and moderate. The entire upper eyelid is covered with a light shade (flesh or beige). The moving eyelid should be slightly darkened with brown shadows. Everyday makeup can be supplemented with neat arrows made with eyeliner. In the crease of the eyelid, apply a brown color slightly darker than the shade that was applied to the entire moving eyelid. However, the daytime look does not tolerate too dark shades and thick application of shadows.
Evening make up is performed in bright colors, but do not overdo it with the amount of makeup, so as not to overload the image and not look vulgar. In this case, the eyebrows can be slightly highlighted. Shadows of a green tint are applied to the moving eyelid. The inner corner of the eye should not be darkened, as this technique will make the look heavy, especially if you have small eyes.
We go through the growth of eyelashes with dark shades of brown. You can also line your eyes with eyeliner. Mascara is better to use lengthening, it can be applied in several layers.

One of the main features of green eyes is that they can change their shade depending on the lighting, clothing and, of course, makeup. And it would be strange not to take advantage of this: we analyze in more detail the opportunities that open up for green-eyed girls.
10 Basic Makeup Rules for Green Eyes
First and most important rule for a beautiful green eye makeup, it sounds like this: give preference to warm, rather than cold shades.
Purple is exactly the color that is opposite green on the color wheel, so all the shades from this range create a bright contrast with your eyes.
The most suitable shadows for green-eyed girls are plum, eggplant, purple, lavender, lilac, pink.
In addition to all shades of purple, choose shades with a mustard, peach or brick red sheen.
To make the color even more unusual and saturated, combine them with golden or bronze shades (for example, in the smoky ice makeup option): these shades help in literally"light up" the look.
Speaking of red shades: they are also worth adding to your makeup bag.
Firstly, red also contrasts well with green, and besides, red shades are at the peak of popularity in eye makeup, so try to diversify your look by adding bright accent. Detailed instructions look in the video below.
- Advice! Red shades, if mishandled, can easily give you a painful look, so if you decide to use a liner of this color, the easiest way to protect yourself is this: first draw the ciliary contour with a black or dark brown pencil, and draw a red line a little higher.
In the case of green eyes, the role of shadows can be taken over by ordinary dry blush.
Blend pink or peach blush with warm undertones on the mobile eyelid, but read the instructions before using them.
Black liner is a make-up classic and an absolute must have.
If you want to soften the image a little, replace it with a soft warm pencil. Brown color. By the way, with the help of such a pencil, you can easily create smokey ice: just blend a clear line into a “haze” throughout the moving eyelid.
Green shadows, eyeliner or mascara are also a good way to emphasize green eyes.
But choose shades that are either lighter or darker than the color of your eyes: the tone-on-tone option will not desired effect. Great choice– eyeliner olive shade or khaki (but in this makeup, do not forget to thickly make up your eyelashes with mascara). Green shades can also be paired with greys, blacks, blues, golds and browns.
- Advice! Use one thing - green shadows, eyeliner or mascara. Otherwise, the image will not be harmonious.
In eye makeup, you should avoid silver and bright blue (without red pigments in the composition)
These shades significantly "diminish" the brightness of green eyes. Give preference to bronze, golden and turquoise colors.
Burgundy arrow - fashionable option makeup that suits green-eyed girls
But finding an eyeliner of this color is not so easy, so you can use the following trick: moisten a beveled brush with water, sprinkle with makeup fixative, type burgundy shadows on it and draw a clear arrow with them. Finish off your look by adding brown eyeshadow to the crease.
How about golden mascara?
Green eyes will shine and sparkle for real! We advise you to resort to a trick: make up your eyelashes with black mascara, and on top with a disposable brush apply a metallic eyeliner (for example, Razor Sharp in Gold Rush by Urban Decay).
Features of the selection of colors for green eyes of different shades
In eye makeup, not only the color of the eyes themselves plays an important role, but also skin tone and hair color. Therefore, before choosing the best makeup palettes, make sure that these shades suit your color type (ours will help determine it).

Makeup for gray-green eyes
