Re: Need eye shadow ideas for green eyes

I'm also a green-eyed lady!  I know that people always talk about purple shadows, but I think it's important to specify that warm purples work best.  My eyes pop the most when I use warm toned colors because it is opposite of green on the color wheel.  I did buy the Charlotte Tilbury Mesmerizing Maroon palette, which is made for green eyes, but I tend to get the same looks when I use it.  If you want more versatility then I recommend the ABH Modern Renaissance...I know it's an oldie but it really bring out my green eyes with all the warm shades.  When I look at the palettes in my collection, it's the one that has the most pan.  Oh!  The Urban Decay Honey Palette also may really bring out the gold in your eyes 🙂

 

I'm glad you're embracing the green and gold!

A lilac shimmer eyeshadow would look incredibly pretty!!

Hi @redjennger!

 

You have such beautiful green eyes (or eye)!  Studies have actually shown that most people find green eyes to be the most attractive, which might explain the reason all the boyfriends I've dated also had green eyes 😊💚

 

You can never go wrong with a bronze/gold eyeshadow look.  A good bronze palette is the Natasha Denona Bronze Eyeshadow Palette.

Using gold/ gold glitter eyeshadows will help brighten and bring out the gold in your eyes.

 

Some people with green eyes even like to use green eyeshadow.  This is a bit tricky since the wrong shade can make your eyes look dull.  If you want to try this, use green shades that are darker than your eye color.

 

I personally think pink or burgundy/purple looks are beautiful.  My favorite palette for these look is the Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes Eyeshadow Palette – Peaches and Cream Collection.

@redjennger I wish I had green eyes. Wore green contacts for years. Some options would be green, gray, golds. Marc Jacobs Eye-conic palette in 'Extravagence!' and Urban Decay Honey palette.
