Eye Makeup for Green Eyes

Eye Makeup for Green Eyes

Complementary Colors
  • Pick eyeshadows with reddish or purple undertones like plum, mauve, burgundy, or warm brown.
  •   The color wheel suggests that red and purple hues best complement green, helping the eyes stand out.
  •   For a romantic ballad, choose a soft mauve as a base and burgundy in the crease to make their green eyes the emotional center of the performance.
Neutral Browns and Golds
  •  Apply neutral brown eyeshadows to bring out the green tones, and consider using gold on the inner corners or the center of the lid.
  •  Browns make green eyes more vibrant, and gold adds a unique sparkle.
  •  In a classic Broadway-themed performance, use neutral browns with a gold shimmer on the center of the lid for that extra wow factor.
Earth Tones
  •   Use earthy shades like taupe, olive, or mossy green.
  •   These colors create a soft, natural look while still complementing green eyes.
  •   Use mossy green and taupe eyeshadows to connect the theme with their eye color for a nature-inspired act.
Avoid Overpowering Colors
  •  Steer clear of overly bright or harsh shades.
  •   These colors can distract from the natural beauty of green eyes.
  •   Even though neon colors might be tempting,opt for more subdued shades to ensure their green eyes aren't overshadowed.
Smokey Eyes
  •  Create a smokey eye using charcoal, dark brown, or deep plum.
  •   Green eyes can easily carry a smokey look without getting lost.
  •   Use charcoal and dark plum for a sultry, impactful eye in a dark, mysterious act.
Eyeliner
  •   Choose brown or plum eyeliners, and consider tightening the upper lash line.
  •  These colors are softer than black but still provide definition, making the green eyes pop.
  •   For a vintage pin-up look,use brown eyeliner for a softer but still-defined eye look.
Mascara
  •   Apply one or two coats of black mascara.
  • Black mascara helps define the lashes and draws more attention to the eyes.
  •  In any performance, a volumizing black mascara is the go-to choice to ensure the green eyes are the undisputed stars of the show.
Experiment with Greens
  •  Play around with different shades of green eyeshadow.
  •   A contrasting green can add depth and interest.
  •  For an avant-garde performance, you could experiment with a shade of green that is lighter or darker than their eye color for an unexpected but attractive contrast.
Eyebrows
  •   Fill and shape your eyebrows using a pencil or powder that matches your natural color.
  •   Well-groomed eyebrows frame the face and elevate the entire eye makeup look.
  •   A polished Drag performance look isn't complete without defined eyebrows.
  •   Use a medium-dark brow pencil to fill in and shape the eyebrows.
Highlighter
  •  Add a champagne or light gold highlighter to the inner corners of your eyes.
  •  This brightens the eye area and makes the green color stand out even more.
  • For a performance requiring many facial expressions, highlighting the inner corners can make the eyes look more significant and expressive.
