3. How to: Green Eyeshadow Looks
To create a green eyeshadow look start by prepping your lids. This can involve using a primer to create a smooth surface and longer wear time for your eyeshadow. Choosing the right shade of green is key; consider your eye color and skin tone. For a bolder look go for emerald or lime green, for a more subtle look olive or sage. Once you have your color chosen gather your tools: a fluffy blending brush, a smaller packing brush and a fine tipped brush for detailing.
Start by applying a neutral transition shade to your crease with the blending brush, this will help the green blend into your skin tone. Next use the packing brush to layer your green eyeshadow onto your lids, focus on the center for maximum intensity. Blend the edges to avoid harsh lines and consider adding dimension with a darker green or a complementary shade on the outer corner. For extra pop use a fine tipped brush to apply a shimmery highlight to your brow bone and inner corner of your eyes. Finish the look with eyeliner and mascara to frame your eyes.
