Are you a green-eyed gal looking to make your peepers pop? We don't blame you. Here are eyeshadow ideas and tips that will make others green with envy. Using a color wheel, first find the shade that best matches your eyes.
Then, look at neighboring shades within the same color family to build a monochromatic palette, or directly opposite shades to build a complementary palette. For a chic monochromatic look, we recommend you apply eye makeup in forest green, sages, mosses, and green-golds. For an alluring complementary look, we suggest mixing pinks, purples, roses and mauves. Whichever you choose, the iris of your eye will instantly appear crisper, clearer and more vibrant-greener, so to speak. We tested the makeup color theory on green-eyed goddess and NY Makeup Artist Amanda Thesen, and the results were stunning. Check it out!
