We select makeup for green eyes according to the time of day
Depending on the purpose of makeup, there are two main types: evening and day. Girls with green eyes must take this nuance into account in order to create an image that suits the occasion.
Evening makeup is usually much more colorful and vibrant than daytime. Everyday focuses on the allocation of only the eyes or lips, mainly the focus of the daily make-up is placed directly on the eyes.
The shades of shades and lipsticks corresponding to the event also differ. However, there are universal options, such as makeup with arrows or nude smokey ice. The only difference is the tone and the number of bright elements in the image.
Evening
Evening make-up for green eyes necessarily includes bright color nuances. Basically, to create such a make-up, it is recommended to use shades that emphasize the color of the eyes and with the flicker effect.
Ideal shadows for evening makeup:
- Emerald;
- Indigo;
- Golden;
- Chocolate;
- The black.
The most fashionable evening make-up technique for green eyes is Smokey Ice. For smoky make-up, at least two shades of shadows should be used. The most trendy option will be: golden, green, black, with a brown element.
Another great color combination for an evening smokey ice: yellow, light green, aquamarine. The transition should be made as smooth as possible from light from the inner corner of the eye to dark from the outside.
Perfectly complement the bright smoky makeup blue eyeliner or pencil, applied to the inner part of the lower eyelid. Using false eyelashes with such a make-up will be overkill.
Lipsticks for evening makeup are better to choose depending on other shades:
- To green: flesh, beige, light brown.
- To brown: scarlet, fuchsia, champagne, burgundy.
- To purple: light pink, nude, with a purple undertone.
- To the brick: chocolate, faded pink, natural.
Also, a make-up for an evening celebration can be supplemented with bright arrows.If the makeup is done in nude tones, it is recommended to use a shimmer or a saturated eyeliner of bronze, golden or indigo. And, in order not to overload the selected color scheme, you should draw arrows from the same palette, but the shade is darker or lighter.
The easiest evening make-up option is performed in a relief technique using a shimmer. To do this, it is necessary to cover the entire eyelid with a base, preferably a beige nude shade. Then, light brown shadows are applied to the moving eyelid, mainly cream shades for better coverage.
The shimmer is applied to the movable eyelid, then gently blend it onto the stationary eyelid to create a gradient transition. Glitter is also carefully added to the inner corner of the eye and under the lower eyelid with a thin strip.
Such makeup is recommended to be supplemented with bright lipstick: lilac, lilac, purple, scarlet or fuchsia. And it’s better to carefully color the eyelash with black mascara.

Step-by-step day makeup
Everyday makeup for green eyes can be done step by step in delicate colors using a relief technique and the addition of an unfinished arrow.
Step 1: With a medium hard brush, apply the color base to the movable eyelid. For this purpose, you can take peach or beige shades, preferably with a mother of pearl shimmer or golden tint.
Step 2: Using a soft brush, smoothly blend the shadows onto the fixed eyelid and into the outer corner of the eyes so that the shadows resemble a blurry triangle.
Step 3: With a black soft pencil we draw an arrow from the middle of the eyelash growth line on the upper eyelid. The arrow should not be wide, just fill the space between the eyelashes with color.
Step 4:With black eyeliner, repeat the shape of the existing arrow and complement it. From the inner corner of the eye to the middle of the arrow should expand, and its tip go beyond the eyelids. The outer tip is recommended to be made as thin as possible and bent up to “open” the look.
Step 5: Choose an additional shade of shadows. An ideal option would be taupe or dark gray. With a narrow brush, apply it over the arrow, visually reducing it so that until the middle of the century there remains a barely noticeable strip. Then shade closer to the outer corner to get a smooth transition.
Step 6: Having finished shading carefully, so as not to stain makeup with mascara, we color the cilia. We try so that they do not stick together, otherwise the effect of "natural" makeup will disappear.
In some cases, it is possible to supplement the makeup with a lower arrow, which is drawn and shaded similarly to the upper one. She can decorate the outer corner of the lower eyelid, which will give the look depth.
Everyday makeup lipstick with a blurry arrow can be used in nude shades with a coral or copper tint. A light shine with a pink overflow will look beautiful on the lips.
