It seems that there are no such women who would not know that the color of the eyes is best emphasized by contrasting shadows. However, the work of famous makeup artists convince us otherwise. 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. Blonde can be cold and warm. And if the lime color looks organically on the latter, then the cold blonde should think about jade, mint or gray-green tones. The same goes for brunettes. Bright brunette can be with amber, dark olive or snow-white skin, and, accordingly, each will pick up their green shadows. For green eyes of warm tone, it is not necessary to look for the same warm green colors, after all, it is possible and even recommended to emphasize the eyes with contrasting shadows. But the general color-type and complementarity of a shade of shades to a tone of a skin is very important, here it is impossible to miss. It is possible to play on contrast, combining in one make-up different shades of green, cold and warm, because nature does not skimp on such bold combinations. Are not there little girls with peach skin and bright golden hair, whose blue eyes seem even brighter on this background? The cold gray-green eyes of the model in the photo below underlines the jade-shading, and the warm grassy color on the upper eyelid blends well with the complexion and make-up of the lips. It is important to understand that eye makeup with green shadows requires a certain skill and perfect skin. The photos you see in this collection are, for the most part, staged images, many of them 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 take into account the overall brightness and contrast of the image. If you have an average leather tone, you can use enough dark shadows, but applying too deep tones will probably be difficult. Green-eyed ladies with fair skin can not afford dark purple or saturated brown tones, except as an accent and subject to thorough feathering. In the most advantageous position are the owners of dark skin: although some tones are lost on them and they need to use pearly shadows with care, they never risk "overdoing". If you do not want to think about what shade shade to choose, it's worth to stop on the golden shadows - they will beautifully underline any green tint of the eyes, regardless of the color of the skin or hair.
The basic principle of choosing green shadows for green eyes: colors should never repeat each other. Repetition is possible only in the accent. For example, you have emerald eyes and peach skin. Warm shades of green in this case are better than cold ones. It is light tones of fresh greenery that will be combined with the skin and will allow the eyes to stand out. But, on the other hand, you can successfully use emerald shadows, but not for all the eyelids, but slightly highlighting them, for example, the center of the mobile upper eyelid or corner, and the rest of the eye makeup, for example, to perform brown shadows.
Brown-green and brown eyes
Green shades for green eyes of this shade can be bright, deep and warm. It is with such eyes that you can actively try out saturated mossy, grassy, marshy shades: your eyes will look even greener. Also very good brown tones. It is important that they are warm and saturated. Pay attention to the chocolate. To make the makeup not seem boring, you can add a bright warm accent.
Green-blue and green-gray eyes
If the green eyes have at least a hint of a blue or cold gray tone, then you can try the gamut, which is usually recommended to the blue eyes: copper and orange hues. They will allow to emphasize the unusual cold color of such eyes and their blueness. Also good are brown tones. But heavy chocolate color should be avoided. If the skin is warm, then brown shadows should have a warm shade, and blondes with cold skin will choose their colors. As for the green shadows, grassy green shades can look very good, they will help to emphasize the blue component in the color of the eyes, but then you need to take into account that the skin tone must be necessarily warm, wheat. If the color is clearly cold, then the emerald tones are good. Light turquoise and emerald shadows look especially beautiful on brunettes with a delicate white skin.
Deep green eyes
The ideal shade color for bright green eyes, which do not even have a slight hint of a blue hue - are purple and plum tones. They perfectly fit the eyes of a saturated green color, since they do not suppress it. The use of green shadows is quite difficult - there is a risk that the eyes will be lost, but the green shadows in this case will be an excellent accent. For example, you can select the inner corner of the eye with green shadows. If you have mature skin, then saturated dark shadows will not work for you, but you can use them as a liner.
What other shadows will suit the green eyes?
Owners of green eyes should exclude blue and blue tones, although this option under certain conditions is possible, for example, you have cold light skin, and it is necessary to emphasize it. In any case, it should be borne in mind that cold blue, blue tones will deprive the green eyes of their brightness and expressiveness. Suitable shade color for green eyes - warm light colors:
- Apricot and peach, all their shades.
- Pink shadows.
- Silvery shadows.
- All the purple-purple-violet range.
- Brown tones, from barely noticeable 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.
