Many woman, and even some men, appreciate making their eye color pop using different makeup techniques and colors. Green eyes are beautiful and deserve to be enhanced; sometimes, though, depending on your complexion or choice of makeup, the particular beauty of your green eyes can be hard to notice. In this article, you'll find a few ways to make the most of your natural green eyes using makeup.
Edit Steps
Getting the right skin tone
Apply foundation. Apply any concealer you need first. Try to get a foundation that is just a touch lighter than your regular skin tone. Just make sure it's not noticeably too light. Smooth the foundation all over your face. Then apply a dusting of pressed powder in your regular skin tone.
Apply blush. Use a medium to light red, or hot pink. Using these colors on your cheekbones highlights your eyes. Use a plump blush brush to apply a thin layer––don't cake it on.
Apply a light colored blush.
