For festive occasions, make-up should be more extravagant

- Draw a black pencil along the inter-lid margin of the upper and lower eyelids.
- Slightly flatten the pen with a soft brush.
- Apply black eyeshadow on a brush and fill the entire movable eyelid with it.
- Complete the makeup with an intermediate shade that helps with smudging. Brown and purple pair well with green eyes.
- Apply the selected shade to a clean brush.
- Sweep the shadow into the crease of the eyelid. For a cat-eye effect, gently sweep makeup toward the temples.
- Create a smoky veil, making sure the shadow lines are perfectly blurred.
- Blur the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid with a black or green pencil.
- To make the eyes more expressive, add a shimmer to the inner corner of the eye.
- Complete the green eye makeup by applying a volumizing mascara.
- If the effect is not enough, glue the eyelashes.
The Smokey Eyes make-up technique is ideal for evening make-up
Don’t forget the blush. An evening make-up without highlighter is hard to imagine. Apply it gently to the cheekbones and bridge of the nose. For such makeup, choose nude lipstick.
Chic and understated look
Also consider the shade of your hair when choosing makeup colors
Dark-haired people have it easier when choosing shades than blonde-haired people, because even the lightest colors harmonize with dark hair. Make-up should emphasize the depth of the shade of the iris. Contrasting shades are the best choice as they make the eyes more expressive. An unbeatable option for green-eyed brunettes is emerald and pearl green. However, it is better to stay away from shades of green that are too deep and choose a shade that is a little darker or lighter than the color of the iris. If a lady with green eyes has dark skin, then the contrasts should not be abused so that in the end the image does not turn out to be painfully gray. The shadow palette is best matched to the color of the clothes. Which eyeshadows go well with green eyes and light hair? Go for a choice of shades such as: silver, violet or blue; terracotta and beige; smoky pink and light beige with a pink tinge; light blue and grey-blue; Bronze beige and brick brown.
