How to make Green or Hazel Eyes Look More Green

How make green or hazel eyes look Greener
Forget everything you’ve ever been taught about how to make green or hazel eyes look more green. Green eyes do NOT look green because you apply purple , mauve, or lavender eyeshadow, mascara, or eyeliner to your eyes. I’m going to tell you the age old secret that worked for years before some people misunderstood the color wheel.

So how did so many come to believe that purple made green eyes stand out?
Purple on a color wheel is opposite green. To those that study color, this means that green and purple, when alongside each other, intensify the hue of the other. The error comes in quantity. Yes, they will intensify each other if there are equal quantities of green and purple. However, when there is only a mite of green in a purple landscape, the green is completely lost. And trust me, the degree of color in your eyes is very small comparatively to the rest of your face. The last thing you want to do is drown them out with another color. So, here are the real secrets of how to get green eyes look greener!

Secrets of Bringing Out the Color In Your Eyes
Cosmetics
Firstly, if you’ve got green eyes, use green eyeliner, green mascara, and green eyeshadow! Look at the two diagrams below and see which eye looks more green to you. It’s the one with the green eyeshadow, green mascara, and green eyeliner, isn’t it. The one using the purple (which is what all those make up artists have been taught incorrectly) doesn’t make your green eyes stand out, does it?

Jewelry
Wearing green earrings and a green necklace will also highlight the green in your eyes. Sometimes, you can just put on a green eyeliner with black mascara, (no eyeshadow) and then just pop on green earrings. Just watch in the mirror while these steps make your eyes appear even more green.

Matching Your Clothing to Your Eye Color
In days gone by, it used to be the norm to wear clothes to match your eye color. Green eyes, like any other eye color, just pop out when one is wearing a green jacket or green shirt.

Hazel Eyes
Hazel eyes are quite unique in that they are a combination of two colors – brown and green. The inner ring is brown and the outer ring is green. There are also flecks of gold in them. By using the techniques used for making eyes appear more green, hazel eyes will appear more green. However, when other colors are used, then the hazel eyes can almost appear a golden amber. They will also appear grey if blue is worn. Hazel eyes change depending on the color one wears, so if green eyes are desired, then green must be the dominant color that is worn. If brown is worn, then the eyes appear a golden amber.

Green and Hazel Eye Color
Other eye color cannot be made to look more green. However, by using the same techniques, the color in them can be more accented. Only green and hazel eyes can really be made to look green or to have the green in them intensified.
