If the luck of the Irish is on your side and you have green eyes then consider yourself a rarity because green eyes are the least common eye colour in the world! You're ranked alongside famous emerald eye beauties like, Dita Von Teese, Kristen Stewart, Jessica Biel, and Aishwarya Rai but if you struggle to make the most of your emerald eyes then read on for some quick, easy tips to make your eyes sparkle.
Play with Purples
If you look at the colour wheel purple is opposite the green, that means purple is the perfect complimentary colour for you green eyed gals so try making your eyes pop with shades of purple. If you want to widen close set eyes then apply a deep plum colour towards the outer edges of your eyes and a light purple towards your inner eye. If you have droppy, or hooded eyes then do the opposite. If purple seems a little too much for you then try using a gray/lavender shadow to bring out the green of your eyes.
Avoid silver, blue and black
If you want to follow the latest trend and go metallic then make sure you avoid silver or blue shades. These shades are not going to make your eyes pop and while you're avoiding blues and silver leave the black eyeliner at home! Black can be too harsh for green eyes but don't worry you can still achieve that smokey, rock chick look just swap your black for chocolate brown or espresso, trust us, your eyes will thank you for it!
Embrace the Bronze Age
Warm tones such as bronze, gold and copper work great for any shade of green eyes or skin tone and can really deepen the colour of your eyes. Use it for a complete smokey eye look or just apply a bit of bronze or copper in the middle of your lid for a little shimmer and shine. If you're looking for a more subtle metallic look then opt for a brown or dark green eyeshadow with flecks of bronze or gold for that perfect daytime look.
