What's the color scheme for makeup for green eyes?

What's the color scheme for makeup for green eyes? I've never used makeup in my life, but since I get so much advertising in my face about how it's going to make me pretty, I figured I might buy some (or get my husband to get me some for christmas). Is there a certain color scheme for green eyes, white skin?

I heard that Aubergine and deep purple is beautiful on green eyes, the smokey eye is also in my opinion beautiful on green eyes. If you want to make sure or try it out why not go to a store where you can get someone to professionally do your make up for free ? Its a nice break and who knows you might just find what you are looking for AAAANNNNDDD get a few tips on how to apply make up for if you DO decide to start using make up! All the best!

I have green eyes and very pale skin.

I always start my make up with a good base - for daily makeup I juse a light foundation ALWAYS in tone 'Ivory' (usually Rimmel's new mousse formula as it stayd put thoughout the college day) as it is the lightest. I love my white skin so I also try to keep it as pale as it is naturally by applying a thin dusting of Stargazer's white pressed comapct face powder with a foundation brush after the foundation as dried.

Now for the eyes...smokey greys / dark colours and blacks are good. Try Stargazer's black eyeshadow. You can line the bottom lid with black kohl eyeliner (Revlon is the best) and then smudge it with an angled shadow brush with a little eyeshadow on it. Then, on the top lid, apply a little smudge of black eyeshadow in the outer corner of the eyes making sure you blend the edges. This opens the eye out and also does not look to overworked.

Also - GREEN eye make up looks gorgeous on green eyes. Try and find as much as you can - eyeliners, shadows and other pretty things such as MACs coloured 'pigment' in green or Barry M's 'dazzle dust' in green or black (they are sparkly!). Purple tend to go well with green eyes too.

I always finish with a sweeping o mascara on bothe top and bottome lashes.

Sometimes just a swooping flick of thick liquid eyeliner on the top lid look nice - on any eye colour. No liner needs to go on the bottom lid and you needn't put any mascara on either! It creates an elegant cat-like but practical look. (Er...thingy wears it like that on 'Ghost Whisperer'.)

Green/jade shades enhance your eye color—plums/violets make it pop for a beautiful, intensified green! Also bluish liner under a green eye makes it seem greener and the white whiter.
Almay came out with a rasin colored mascara for green eyes that works and doesn't look too weird. It's a bit expensive though and I would stick with just eyeshadow. Your own lashes are probably fine.
I also recommend Jordanna INcolor super shiny tinted lipgloss that tastes yummy and is cheap.

I would reccomend using browns, neutral tan, taupe or sand colors. Some bronze tones may work well, but be careful of those with too much red, they can make you look like you have allergies or tired eyes. Plum and various purple tones can make your green eyes *pop*, be careful wearing plum /purple tones if you have dark circles it can cause them stand out. Green shades look great too on green eyes
A great blush would be a soft earthy tone or you could opt for a peachy-coral. a soft lip is also flattering with maybe a bit of gloss to keep your look fresh.

puple and sandy browns are the best color for green eyes and they make them stand out a lot. when you go to the store you can find puple eye liner and that crap DONT BUY IT it makes your eyes look small and not attractive so get puple or brown eye shadow and get a thin brush ans apply it like you would with eyeliner.

I have green eyes and pale white skin.
a good color is a rich blue, maybe a royal blue liner. I have a blue liner and it always makes my eyes look greener and makes them pop

also, black looks good on any color... but if you feel it is too harsh on your skin color, you may want to switch to a charcol color.

also, pink is a very pretty color on green eyes. I take pink mascara and 'paint' the tips of my lashes with the brush, for a different look than most people.

I would suggest everything they are saying as well as golds and mauves with a smoker outer and a lighter inner.

Also clinque makes an amazing eye liners called Egyptian- its dark green with gold specks, it's absolutely amazing.

I would say go to Macys or Carsons/ bergners, and have them show you some stuff.

I have green eyes.
the makeup that accentuates them the most are plum/violet/dark pinks/deep purple.
Also, dark hair makes them stand out more.
I have blonde hair and olive tone skin, and every morning my mom tells me how green my eyes loook against my bronzed skin!
I love her!
xoxo. hope this helps!

Hey, I have green eyes too and my eye routine works beautifully. I start by sweeping the top lid with a light, barely visible layer of of light green shadow. then a deep purple near the end of the lash line and in the crease between the lid and the brow bone. then blend with your finger for subtlety.

I have green eyes. Purple is beautiful on green eyes. Something else you can try that has always worked great for me is, like a coral shade. You have seen the color that is used on Indian pottery and rugs with the blue shade. Not orange. Coral, that is the best way to say it. I guarantee you will get complimented. I have had people stop me to tell me they like my eye shadow. I even started buying jewelry to match the shadow.

If you are pale.Best to go for a light purple,like lilac.Or if your eyes are really green,then you probably could get away with using a dark purple.It would really bring out your eyes.I have pale skin and green eyes also and I have jet black hair.I have tried using lots of black eyeliner,but find it ruins my whole look.Black eyeliner looks gorgeous when its just on the bottom lid of your eyes.No more needs to be used.Otherwise you'll ruin your look.Smokey colors are great for green eyes e.g grays, purples, pinks. If you want a natural look,just use a light shade of green and some black mascara or brown, depending on your hair color.Then use a hint of peach blusher on your cheeks or even pink to give you a little bit of color.

deffinatly darker colors if youre a darker complected person. I have green eyes and a warm skintone, I have found deep plum and purple shades or black lightly smudged is great. mascara is key!!! I put on at least 3 coats, totally changes your look. I've also found that first applying eye liner before the shadow softens the look, and some eye liner along the lashline of your lower lid. dont forget about mascara !!
