In a palette like this you can find all the necessary tones for both day and night looks. If you want to replicate the look of the top, use the golden shadow for the inner area of the eyelid and the darker brown for the outer part. When looking for a more natural makeup, opt for medium brown tones and in both cases, blend well with the brush.

We know that these types of palettes can be a bit confusing so here is an infallible advice: the medium tone extends on the mobile eyelid. The darkest of all on the lash line, the next in the basin and the lightest, in this case silver, is placed in the center of the eyelid and in the tear duct. Now it only remains to blur well.

If in doubt, a very precise black eyeliner line is also a great way to make up green eyes. You can add light shadows like Bella Hadid or leave the eye naked. And if you dare, you can also try eyeliners in other colors such as aubergine, garnet or dark brown. If the eyeliner never works for you, you should try this.
The shape of the stroke
The shape of the stroke
Eye color is not decisive when defining the eyeliner stroke, but keep in mind that if you make a line that is too thick, you will turn off your beautiful green. To make it stand out even more, we opted to start the line right where the first lashes are born. Draw it very fine and then fatten it up as you get closer to the end of the eye. This way you will leave all the prominence to your tone.

Green eyes makeup
- Brown shades. They are one of the safe bets for any eye color but that look especially good on green eyes . The best of all is that you can combine several different shades to create a very current contouring effect or wear a single color if what we are looking for is a simpler look. You can also use eye pencils in these shades instead of the classic black.
- Blue, burgundy and violet shades. If you want your big eyes not to go unnoticed, paint them with shadows and green colored pencils. But if you want them to stand out as they deserve, turn to their opposite tones . With them you will create an impact makeup that will make your green eyes shine even more.
- Silver and gold. The gray and silver shadows are one of the ones that most favor green eyes. You can create a more or less subtle smoky effect with them and finish with black eyeliner. The golds are going to be a lot this winter , especially during the Christmas holidays and they look quite good on green eyes. So don't be shy. Of course, you can also reserve these shades to complement others with less striking tones. For example, silver combines perfectly with blue shades and gold with brown ones. In both cases, it is enough to apply a little in the center of the mobile eyelid and in the tear duct.
