Handy Hint – Eye Shadow for Green Eyes!

This tutorial shows you how you can enhance your green eyes. To make your green eyes pop, you dress them with colours that contrast with green. These are always colours that lie on the opposite side if the colour wheel from green. Have a read of our recent tutorial introducing the colour wheel. This tutorial will give you a bit of background on colour theory, and how this can be applied to your make up application.

Although the colours in this tutorial work especially well with green eyes, they can in fact be used with any eye colour. The theory is around choosing colours which compliment other colours. You may be wearing green clothing, and want an eye shadow to contrast with this colour. Either way, colour theory works the same. Below are some suggestions of colours to contrast with your green eyes (or your green clothing). Enjoy!
