GREEN EYESHADOW
Green eyeshadow is making its way back into the style industry. You can wear it anytime, anywhere because it is fresh, bold, and will instantly brighten up your eyes. Green complements those with dark or brown eyes. You can pair it up with eyeshadow colors or eyeshadow palettes that have a shimmery or matte finish.
Applying green eyeshadow properly
First, put some primer on to your eye lids before applying any green eyeshadow. Make sure that your skin is smooth and even before any other makeup application.
The brow bone should be covered with the softest green color. Use an eyeshadow applicator to blend the color evenly and smoothly.
Apply the next shade of green eyeshadow to the crease of your eye brow. Match your selected green with your eye color or skin tone to bring out the best in your eyes. Blend it carefully.
Add the eye liner on top of the eye lid. There should be a clean sharp line extending toward the eyes’ edge.
On top of the liner, add the next layer of your green eyeshadow. This is the time where you can enhance or soften the overall look. Blend the shades carefully to create the desired impact.
If you want a Smokey Eyes look with your green eyeshadow, use another stroke of your eye liner. It will accentuate the shape of your eyes especially in the evening.
Use dark mascara such as brown or black to highlight your lashes and define your eyes properly. Opt for nude or neutral colors for your cheeks and lips to achieve balance.
