What are the best eyeshadow colours for green eyes?

The best eyeshadow shades for green eyes are reds, purples, greens, blues and browns. Complement the emerald sparkle of green eyes with green and blue eyeshadows, or reach for pops of purple and red for expert contrast according to colour theory:

Red eyeshadows are the perfect opposite to green eyes, drawing out their natural green tones and helping them to appear even more vibrant. Try my Luxury Palette and Eyes to Mesmerise cream eyeshadow in Walk of No Shame or my Exagger-Eyes Easy Eyeshadow Sticks in Cocoa Cherry Sculpt and Bronzed Garnet.

Blue eyeshadows are a neighbouring colour family to green and look particularly flattering on green eyes that have a natural hint of blue. Try Charlotte’s Palette of Beautifying Eye Trends in Denim Dimension.

Purple eyeshadows can make green eyes pop, especially reddish tones like mulberry, claret and aubergine. Try Charlotte’s Palette of Beautifying Eye Trends in Digital Lilac.

Brown eyeshadows can create soft or smokey eyeshadow looks that set the stage to let your green eyes shine. Try my Super Nudes Easy Eye Palette or my Exagger-Eyes Easy Eyeshadow Sticks in Cashmere Sculpt, Mink Sculpt and Chestnut Sculpt.

Green eyeshadows of all kinds are a perfect match for green eyes from bright emerald greens to golden greens to smokey khaki greens. Try Charlotte’s Palette of Beautifying Eye Trends in Emerald Effect.
