Looking closely at the palette
The colors of the makeup should be dominated by warm colors: yellow, orange, coral, salmon, terracotta. This applies not only to eyelid products, but also to the rest of the products that you apply to your skin. Warm sculptors and blush go with any shade of green.
If nature has rewarded you, do not be afraid to emphasize your peculiarity with cosmetics. Whether you will have a slight haze or glamorous smokey eyes on your eyelids - it's up to you. The main thing is to choose the right range of colors.
According to makeup artists, the following tones are best suited for green-eyed:
- purple, lavender, raspberry;
- beige, mustard, bronze;
- red, pink, burgundy.
If you want to make an image in green tones, take a shade of pigment that is different from the color of the iris. Otherwise, the look will become expressionless.
When choosing a palette, the color type plays an important role. In simple terms, it is an aggregate description of your external data. Among makeup artists, it is customary to use the classification of types according to the seasons.
In the next paragraph, we will tell you how to determine your type and how to make the right make-up in accordance with it.
Determine the color
Color type or coloration is a useful cheat sheet for all girls who use makeup. If you know your type, then choosing a palette will never be a problem for you. The green iris is found in all types (except for spring).
Use the table to determine what time of year your appearance belongs to.
| Winter | Summer | Autumn | |
| Eye color | square-green, emerald | gray-green, marsh with a dark rim | yellow-green with golden splashes, brown-green, turquoise |
| Color of the skin | ivory, olive | light pink, grayish, sometimes with freckles | beige, peach, dark, often with freckles |
| Hair color | dark brown, black, cold blond | blond, ash-blond, chestnut | chestnut, red, dark brown |
To determine the color type in a couple of seconds, look at your veins. If they shine green, you are of the warm type (spring, autumn). If the veins are bluish, your type is cold (winter or summer).
The most common type among Slavs is summer. If you are a summer girl with green eyes, all products in your makeup palette should have a grayish undertone. Gold and silver metallic will look beneficial.
Bright and rich colors will suit the representatives of the winter flavor. They can afford purple, green or pink tones even in daytime makeup.
Green-eyed autumn attracts attention even without makeup. Natural shades look good on these girls - orange, brown, terracotta and peach.
Anatomical features
The next thing to look at is the anatomy of the face. Not all ladies have an open look, so in this chapter we will look at options for small, bulging and overhanging eyes.
Create a wide-eyed look
Light shimmer palettes will help to visually enlarge the eyes. Draw the product from the lightest refill as a base over the entire surface of the movable eyelid.In the outer corner, place a matte shade slightly darker than your skin color and blend it towards your temples.
Add the product a little at a time to keep the shading neat and smooth. Place a shimmering pigment on the protruding center. Highlight the mucous membrane with white kayal.
We add charm
If you want to hide bulging eyes, use the following technique. Apply a dark shadow to the moving eyelid and blend, going beyond the skin fold.
Remember to darken the skin under the lower lashes. Avoid mother-of-pearl: it will draw attention to your flaw even more.
Add lightness
The sagging fold makes the image look sad and tired. Visually, this problem can be eliminated with the help of pastel matte shadows and the correct arrows.
Paint over the entire eyelid with the base shade, and draw a fold with a darker color of the palette, taking the color a little higher. Draw small arrows, raising their tails to the temples.
Even persistent products tend to roll off over the overhanging centuries. For beautiful makeup, an eyelid primer is useful.
Daytime look
Not sure how to make your daily make-up spectacular, but at the same time discreet?
We offer you two options for your choice: one natural with a minimum of cosmetics, and the second light and expressive. Both options can be worn in the office, at university, and even at school.
Natural or nude make does not give up positions for several seasons in a row. It is ideal for young people and for anyone who wants to subtly emphasize their natural beauty with cosmetics.
Light tonal foundations with a delicate shine are suitable for the “a la nature” look. Apply matte or satin shades of flesh, peach or beige on the skin, gently blend. Highlight the inner corner with a white pencil or highlighter.
Eyelashes and eyebrows in nude makeup also play an important role. Paint over the eyebrows with a natural pencil and comb up. The specialized gel will add volume to the hairs. For lashes, choose mascara that is close in tone to your hair. Complete everything with pink lipstick or a touch of gloss.

The second option will appeal to girls who prefer richer makeup. Use salmon, lilac, or bronze as your base color for your eyelids. In the crease and on the outer corner, apply a slightly darker pigment. To make the look more mysterious, add a thin arrow.
If you like to experiment, try using colored eyeliner instead of black. Green or burgundy arrows magically transform ordinary everyday makeup into something interesting.
Accentuate the lower eyelid with a dark color. Add brown or black kayal to the mucous membrane. To complete the look, add a light blush to the cheeks, paint over the eyelashes and apply a thick lipstick to match the lips.

Evening look
Here you can let your fantasy work to the maximum: apply sparkling shadows, mix several tones, or draw long feline arrows.
Remember, if you plan on having fun all night long, then you should go for super-resistant foods. In this case, you can eat, drink and dance without worrying about the fact that all the beauty is smeared.
We suggest you do a simple evening make-up that even a beginner can handle. First, prepare your face: apply a thin layer of base or primer.
Stretch the black pencil over the entire upper eyelid: it will serve as a base. The green pigment will go to the central part of the movable eyelid. We'll highlight the corner with a light green tint from the palette. For the lower eyelid, you can take a dark green color or any contrasting tone - pink, burgundy, plum.
Daytime makeup can be turned into evening makeup with one movement of your hand by adding your favorite red lipstick and a little glitter. Use this trick if you decide to head to a party right after work.
Do not forget to paint over the eyebrows and eyelashes: without them, the image will look unfinished. If you focus on the eyes, as in our case, take neutral lipsticks in pinkish or beige shades.

A few instructions:
Fashionable make-up for green-eyed
In this article, we could not fail to mention the makeup trends in 2021. Even if you don't follow fashion very actively, you can always learn something interesting from the latest shows.
So, this summer, acidic matte shadows are at the peak of popularity. For green eyes, mono-shadows in pink, lilac, peach tones are definitely suitable. Since the main focus here is on them, we leave the lips intact or apply a transparent gloss to them.
In 2021, shooters have become frequent guests at fashion shows. Wide colored arrows are especially relevant today. This is a great solution for brave and liberated girls who are not afraid to draw attention to themselves.
Use matte, shiny or metallic eyeliners for a stylish look.
Graphic arrows are easiest to draw with a marker. With it, you will create a straight, clear line in one move.
Despite the fact that nude still reigns the ball, in the works of famous makeup artists, bright eyelids with beautiful and smooth color transitions are increasingly appearing.
Want to be the most stylish in 2021?
Draw colored smokey eyes. Use whatever tones suit your type, and play with contrasts. And don't forget about smooth shading.
Makeup tricks and life hacks
We have collected for you a few secrets used by famous beauty gurus. We hope that they will be useful not only for ladies who are just starting their acquaintance with cosmetics, but also for experienced beauties.
- Use a primer
The primer enhances the durability of cosmetic products, however, this is not its only function. On such a substrate, the shadows will look more rich and saturated.
- Don't use cheap brushes
It is better to discard the foam applicators that come with the palette. Arm yourself with natural bristle brushes for a beautiful gradient.
They are not as durable as synthetic ones, but they can be used to achieve flawless shading.
- Feather from corners to edges
A common mistake for beginners is the wrong shading. When you apply the eyeshadow to the center of the eyelid and try to stretch the pigment towards the corners, a messy stain forms.
Apply the product to a corner, applying light pressure to the crease, and then blend the borders with a soft brush.
- Stick to the algorithm
Remember that matte products are first applied to the eyelids, and only after them can sparkles or glitter be applied.
Otherwise, the glitter will smear and crumble under the lower eyelashes, which certainly will not add charm to your image.
- Don't forget the roots
A streak of clear skin between the eyeshadow and the roots of the eyelashes can ruin your makeup look.
Go over the mucous membrane with a black or brown bold pencil so that the make-up looks solid and complete.
What mistakes shouldn't be made
Concluding our short educational program, we want to remind you of the mistakes that makeup lovers often sin. Knowing all the subtleties of this art, you will be the queen in any situation.
The most dangerous mistake is buying blue and cyan palettes. They are not advised to be used even by those who have a cold undertone. Blue and green shades conflict with each other and do not give a harmonious combination.
When choosing a scale, use Itten's color wheel... It is better not to combine neighboring colors in it, but shades that are opposite each other will create a successful duet.
The rich black outline sometimes makes the look heavy. We recommend not to risk it, but to give preference to chocolate liners and pencils.
Another feminine misconception is to think that shadows should duplicate the color of the iris. Green pigment will only look good if it is lighter or darker than your natural eye color.
Gray-green eyes are quite common among representatives of the Slavic nation. If you are one of these ladies, then silver mono makeup is not your option.
Bring new fresh colors to the look, and you will see how expressive your eyes will become!
