how can i make my eye color stand out?

Question

i have green eyes with brownish-redish hair with blonder highlights. can anyone help?!?!

Answer 1

I have the exact same coloring! I have always found that using a brown eye liner with some shimmer was always the best. I use maybelline's roll on eye shadow in a light almost off white color so all you get is the shine and no color. It goes great with any outfit and really sets your eyes off. You can also get a trio eye shadow compact with browns or golds and use the lightest color for the top the middle color for the middle and the darkest for the eye lid. Always remember though that for the most part less is more with the eyes. You want your eyes to stand out not look hookerish. You can also simply use a light shimmer cream eye shadow right in the middle of your eyelid so when you blink it really catches the eye. Also whenever you apply your eye make-up make sure that you put light colors in the inside crease of your eye and not dark colors. Stay away from blues and pinks for the most part. Stick with neutral to warm colors. Like browns and golds, maybe a little green here and there, but not too much. Sometimes using a green eyeliner under the eye can add a neat effect, but remember to look for the right shade, to dark is not flattering and neither is too bright. Also more than just make up wear a lot of greens, browns, and blues this will help set your eye color off even more and those colors will look great with your hair. Hope this helps!

I also have green eyes. When I got my makeup done by a professional once, they told me to use plums and rose tones on my eyes to make the green really pop. I like MAC eyeshadow in Star Violet. It's a really pretty fuchsia/plum color that has a frosty finish. I use it with a little black eyeliner and a couple coats of mascara and a champagne colored frosty shadow up under my brows. Just be sure to use a big soft finishing brush to blend the violet into the champagne color. The green in my eyes really stands out when I use this color scheme. I also have a really bold shimmery gold shadow, also by MAC called Amber Lights that looks great with green eyes. Hope this helps.

Green eyes usually look great with shadows and liners in the purple family and there is a lot to choose from all the way from the plums to the lilacs. You can also try a soft shell pink. Smashbox makes one that I used for years (I have green eyes too) called Cassia.

Answer 4

A purple/mauve brings out the green in eyes (you always want an opposing color when bringing out eyecolor). So maybe, a pale, sparkly purple along the lid, a dark purple along the crease with black mascara?
Dont use red though, you'll look like you have pink eye.

Answer 5

I am no fashion expert, plus I am a guy, but I have noticed that when girls wear clothes that are the same color as their eyes, their eyes really stand out. So for you, wear a green shirt/sweater/whatever and your eyes should really grab people's attention.

Answer 6

You need to wear eye makeup that is the complimentary color on the color wheel. Since your eyes are green you need to wear red-based colors such as plums (red-purples), oranges and peaches. Gold and bronzes also look beautiful on green eyes.

hi gummy bear lover.....a very subtle color of green on your eyelids will do it...or i can recomend that you go to wallgreens or CVS...and spend $ 10 on a big box of cheap make up and play with the colors see which one suit your skin color and your eye color... or you could go to a very expensive spa and have a profesional do the same thing

in case you position on your hair very short, flow ahead and attempt the black it is going to seem tremendous inclusive of your blue eyes (my sister has black hair and blue eyes obviously and curiously remarkable) although, in the experience that your hair is lengthy, and also you flow black, except you're waiting to diminish all of your hair off once you tire of it, be prepared for a dedication of a minimum of a three hundred and sixty 5 days, obtainable extra. devoid of bleach, you won't be able to lighten black on hair, or perhaps that very not often comes out searching efficient, and that's continuously very damaged.
