How to Use Green Eyeshadow
Green eyeshadow is generally seen as a color that is only used with brown eyes, or overly dramatic makeup. But the fact is, you can use green eyeshadow no matter what color your eyes are—it’s all in finding a color for your eyes and what shape.
First of all, look at your eye color. If you have blue or green eyes with a brown starburst around the middle, you can pull off darker greens. If you have light blue or gray eyes, try looking for a soft green as opposed to something bold.
Then there’s how you wear it. If you have slanted eyes, then use a light washing of green eyeshadow on your lid and a little more on your crease for definition. (You can use a darker green for the crease if you want.)
For almond shaped eyes, pull out the black matte eyeshadow as well. Put on a generous amount up into the lid and blend upwards into the crease. Use a tiny amount of black eyeshadow and blend into the green in the crease. You should have a little bit of definition without a whole bunch of darkness.
For round eyes, use a very light, almost silvery green on your lids and something slightly darker in the crease.
If you have very protuberant eyes, then be careful to blend your crease very, very well.
Once you’re done applying your eyeshadow, use a little bit of black or dark brown eyeshadow or eyeliner on your bottom waterline. If you want to tightline (apply eyeliner on the top waterline), you can do that as well. It’s entirely up to you and what you think looks best.
