Ahhh, green eyes.... the eye color of all eye colors... literally. Green eyes have tones of gray, blue, gold, and brown all meshing to create a unique green. When I was young, the eye doctor told me I had every eye color possible in my eyes - well, except for violet, but hey, we can't all be Elizabeth Taylor. I always thought that was pretty cool, so naturally - with my love of makeup, I constantly played with different ways to enhance my eye color so here are a few tips:

-You can use contrasting colors, such as shades of purples/plums on the lid to make the green appear brighter
-Adding touches of gold on the lid, brow bone and cheekbones will pull out the warm golden and brown undertones of the iris
-Lining with copper shadow is a simple and subtle way to really make the green pop
-If you are someone who likes to wear neutral tones and not much color, choose brown shades with a slightly reddish undertone
-Using an olive/champane/plum combination on the lids will make your green eyes appear more blue!
-Line the waterline (inner rim) with a black pencil - this will make any light colored eye stand out
-If you don't like to wear any shadow, try a little mascara in a dark plum color - it's very subtle, but still does the trick
-Lastly, if you prefer to wear a strong lip color, using shades of coral, a lavender undertoned pink, or an orange undertoned red will really balance out the face and make your eyes extra green
