I have green eyes, but I am light skinned. You have such an exotic combination. It must be beautiful in person. Never be shy about your best feature!

My father has black hair, and blue eyes, it is very striking on him. (Like super man!) Especially when he was younger, when his hair was jet black. It is more salt and pepper now.

To bring green eyes out more use plum eye shadow and eye liner, or charcoal grey. Depending on your skin tone (warm/cool) you might be good in warm copper or cooler rose too.
The red in those colors contrasts the green and helps make it pop, be careful to keep it to just a wash of color though, if you put too much reddish color near your eye it can make you look sick!

You know some places in the world Green Eyes are considered Lucky because they are so rare. In my family just myself and one other cousin have green eyes. Neither of my parents and none of my grandparents, aunts or uncles. Just us two. It's very special. You should love yourself.

Once in a while if you feel you want to tone it down here are some hints:

To tone down your eyes try wearing your hair down, and have some very wispy bangs cut (not blunt that makes a frame for the eyes).

Don't do your eye brows to severe (arched or thin) but don't let them get shaggy either.

Don't do eye liner, or mascara. Don't curl your lashes. Wear matte eye shadow in earth tones.

Try to find a lipstick that really brightens your face, and make that your focus. Line your lips in a nude pencil and fill in. Then apply your lipstick in a color that attracts the attention away from your eyes. Apply a small dab of lighter gloss to the center of your bottom lip.

Good Luck Green Eyes!

Answer 4

Girls with green eyes are very lucky because they can wear almost any shade of eyeshadow. Go jewel tones like purples at night, go neutral tones during the day. And don't use a black eyeliner or mascara because it will make your eyes look too dark. Try darker browns -- more natural, but still does the job -- and won't make your eyes look too dark.

Hope this helps,

Answer 5

Black pencil eyeliner in the bottom of your eyes, but with a tint of brown. Very smoky looking. A lite tan on your eyelid, and a bright lipgloss/stick. A hint of green eyeshadow with the tan.
