So first of all, how many of you have green eyes?
....How easy do you find it to make up your green eyes?
To me, It's FRUSTRATING! I have stubborn, changable eyes that seem to go against every shade & become dull, or hazel / brown.
The only time my eyes ever look green is when I'm not wearing makeup or
I've used a pastal pink shadow, with nothing else! Then they look just weird & obviously missing something....
I love my eyeliner & My eyes are the features I want to bring out. I don't want them to look naked or just have a little pastally pink around them.
They make my eyes look smaller & that's not the look I want to go for.
I've been experimenting with warm shades, as these are the colors that are supposed to bring out the green. Pinks & warm purples, orange, brown... by worst experience had to be the purple. Though I love smokey eyes for daytime, the purple looked dramatic / just plain horrid & made my eyes look freaky! This was the same color that was recommended by someone working for Clinique. Argh....
I AM DYING FOR HELP!!
Perhaps these colors are not the problem (minus the purple!). Maybe it's just the technique & I just don't know how to work with them.
I feel like I've been cursed with the hardest color to work with!
Here's what I do anyway:
I line my upper & lower lashes in a black
cover my entire lid with a taupe (smashbox) eyeshadow
& wear black mascara.
This just seems to be the easiest way to go for now. But my eyes are looking dull & kinda gives the illusion of having brown eyes....
How do you all make up your green eyes? What works for you?
& can anybody give me some tips on techniques, colors (& brand) or whatever?
TIA
I would so much appreciate all your help
