- Green is a universally flattering shadow color. Keep the face subtle so the green is the focus. A soft blush and a peach/pink or golden lip compliment the green beautifully.
- When wearing green for the first time, keep it simple. For greens, smudge them around the eyes to create subtle smokiness or apply it just on the upper lids.
- Green shades are seasonally versatile and transition well from summer into fall. It looks beautiful with a tan, and can be pumped up in fall with green or black eyeliner applied to the inside of the eye for a dramatic evening look.
- Green is a universally flattering color that works on all skin tones from light to dark. Leave the browbone clean and accent the corner of the inner eye with a little shimmer powder to make it pop even more
- When selecting a shade that best compliments your skin tone, keep the following in mind: pastel greens work best with fair skin; emerald green for medium skin; blue green for olive skin; and forest green with gold for dark skin. Of course experimenting with shades is the best way to go.
- Green is a color that makes a statement, as opposed to a neutral everyday shade. Rec: Urban Decay Deluxe Eye Shadow in Graffiti.
- Look for metallic-flecked shades like this one from Too Faced. Shimmer adds a bit of a modern kick.
- Shades of green have replaced the typical browns and charcoals as fall's hottest shadow hue. Keep the rest of the makeup minimal. Let green dominate and draw attention to your eyes.
- Experiment with more drastic colors and placement for nighttime. Smoke it up! Rim the inside of the eye with a shade of green, or wet your shadow brush before dipping in the pigment to give extra intensity. It gives an exotic, confident look.
- Use emerald shadow with flecks of gold in it. Layer green over a brown base to give a look more dimension. With your finger, press the emerald tone on the center of the eyelid and roll your finger back and forth to achieve a 3-D effect.
