Eye makeup for green eyes encompasses a wide range of color options. The bottom line is to choose eye makeup colors that don't compete with your eye's natural shade of green.

• Any eyeshadow shades which are mostly yellow will also drown out green eyes. The yellow swallows the startling green and helps make the white of your eyes look dull. Jade, amber as well as neon orange may work for you personally, but canary, lemon or mustard are out of the question.

• It's important never to let your eyeshadow compete with your eyes for attention. Let your eye color remain sparkling by utilizing any eyeshadow color except one that matches your eyes. Decide on a creamier green, a darker green or a smokier green, but never match your eye color and eye shadow exactly.

• Pure and bold blue eyeshadows often look unflattering with green eyes, especially whether it's used as a base color. But blue-green colors, such as turquoise, can be displayed attractive, especially if your color is more hazel. The blue-green hue can help bring out more green than brown in your eyes. Light blues work nicely for base, accent or tiny highlight.

• Grey and silver tones pair well with green eyes, but be cautious about creating a look that's too icy or harsh. Smoky hues can help the green really pop out and appear great mixed with almost any other color.

• Most browns appear very flattering with green eyes, as long as those eyes are true green. If your eyes often look hazel or brown sometimes, then brown eyeshadow can make them appear more brown than green.

• To keep those green flecks sparkling, use creamy and/or blended brown colors, such as fawn, tan or mocha. Enhance any gold flecks in your eyes by utilizing accents and highlights in gold, copper or bronze hues.

• Properly applied purple eyeshadow is wonderful for a funky but flattering look with green eyes. Never use purple like a base shade, or you'll wind up looking like you have two black eyes. Instead use just about any shade of purple, such as lavender or periwinkle, being an accent or blended color.
