It is said that green eye colour is rare. And that this shade is pretty mesmerizing as well. It just needs a little highlighting sometimes! Which makeup suits green eyes best? Don't worry, there's no boring theory waiting for you, just tried and tested tips on how to make your eyes the stars of (not only) the evening.

Green eyes. Do you have them? Congratulations, you are among the chosen few! Now you just need a few tricks and your look will have enough power to bring everyone to their knees…   

To make sure your eyes glow like emeralds, put your trust in purple, plum or burgundy colours. These tones will launch them into another dimension. Add an eyeliner, and a smoky eye look for green eyes can be yours. Want something more subtle? A warm bronze, copper or gold eyeshadow will add depth and a sexy look. And if you are not easily scared, try coral or pink eyeshadow.

How to Do Makeup for Green Eyes

Step 1

Prime your eyelids with the Smashbox 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer. It makes the eyeshadow last longer and intensifies its colour.

Step 2

Dust your entire eyelid with a light shade from the Yves Saint Laurent Couture Mini Clutch palette, darken the outer corner with a dark shade, and brighten the inner corner and movable eyelid with glitter.

Step 3

Use the NARS High-Pigment Longwear Eyeliner to tightline your upper lash line and extend the liner with an angled brush.

Krok 4

Apply several coats of NARS Climax Mascara to your eyelashes.
