    Makeup doesn’t have any rules. Anyone can (and should) wear whatever they like. That being said, if you’re looking for the best ways to accentuate your eyes, there are plenty of eye makeup guidelines that you can follow. Ask any makeup artist, and they’ll tell you that, depending on the color of your irises, some shades will accentuate your eyes better than others.\n<\/p>\n

    This, of course, rings as true for green eyes as it does for blue, brown, and hazel. If you’re looking for ways to make your eyes pop, you’ve come to the right place: Read on for 28 stunning makeup looks for green eyes, inspired by our favorite celebrities.\n<\/p>\n

      Top Makeup Tips for Green Eyes <\/span><\/h2>\n

      If you don’t know where to start when it comes to creating the ideal makeup look for your green eyes, celebrity makeup artist Sandy Linter is here to help. Ahead, she breaks it all down in a video. We also shared some of her key points below.\n<\/p>\n

      How to Make Green Eyes Pop<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Steps to Creating a Look <\/span><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Start with Eyeshadow Base: <\/strong>Linter likes to apply the MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly all over the lid. “Use a brush to apply the base only directly on the eyelid,” she says. “This is just to make sure that your eyeliner and your eyeshadow stay on smoothly all day.”<\/li>\n
      • Line the Eye with Pencil:<\/strong> Using a black or brown eye pencil like Make Up For Ever’s Artist Color Pencil, Linter lines the eye, working out from the inner corner in small, controlled strokes. “When you get to the outer corner of your eye, take a pointed Q-tip and give it a fleck up,” she says.<\/li>\n
      • Outline the Lid: <\/strong>Next, Linter takes a taupe pencil to outline the lid. “You start in your eye hollow and the outer corner of your eye,” she tells us. “You make this V shape on its side, but you’re thicker in the outer corner of the eye.”<\/li>\n
      • Blend with Matching Shadow: “<\/strong>I always layer,” Linter says. “I’ll take a little complementary shadow, maybe light brown or another taupe color.” With a medium-sized brush, she blends over the liner with the matching shadow: “What this does is create a larger lid.” Blend inward toward the inner corner of the lid.<\/li>\n
      • Apply Light Shadow: <\/strong>“Wipe off your brush and go to a pale shade,” Linter says. “Pop that onto the eyelid, so you get a little contrast.” This gives the appearance of a wider, more open eye.<\/li>\n
      • Double Line the Eye: <\/strong>Linter then goes over the pencil with the Tom Ford Eye Defining Pen, mirroring the shape of the original liner. You can also use a gel formula if you prefer. She says that “it’s really hard for me to do those pointed ends, so I fake it” with a Q-tip.<\/li>\n
      • Apply Individual Falsies: <\/strong>To make eyes appear larger, Linter applies Kiss I-envy Flare Individual Lashes, then curls her natural lashes together with the falsies. “When you pick up these little flares, go as far down to the root as you can so you’re not going to destroy the lash,” she advises. “And don’t put too much glue on.”<\/li>\n
      • Brighten with Concealer: <\/strong>Finally, Linter applies a liquid concealer on the inner part of the eye. “This will help lighten up the inside area of the eye and make your eyes look further apart and wider-set.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Warm, matte neutrals with a subtle, glowy inner corner highlight are a great everyday look for green eyes.

        Makeup artist\u00a0Ashley Rebecca\u00a0once told Byrdie, “Pink really brightens green eyes and can sometimes bring out hidden tones of gold.”\u00a0This eyeshadow’s pink-and-brown tone is the perfect juxtaposition to the model’s bright green eyes\u2014especially since the shadow goes right up to the brow bone. If you want to play with color without resorting to bold brights, use a subdued taupe-brown variety of pink similar to the one here.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Soft goth is all the rage across beauty and fashion, and a heavier-than-usual dose of black liner works wonders in creating a contrasting makeup look for green eyes.

        Green eyes often have a hint of gold in them. Lean into that by going for a bold makeup look that uses graphic swipes of the metallic shade.

        Hayley Williams always rocks the most stunning vintage-inspired looks. Here, she made a statement with dramatic, Twiggy-inspired lashes that draw attention to her green eyes. For this particular moment, she also used green and gold shadow for a fitting complement, completing the look with rosy, neutral lip gloss.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        As several looks here demonstrate, few choices rival shimmer in highlighting your eye color. We love how this look on Jessica Chastain blends a vivid white shimmery shade with smoky gray to bring the drama. Keep the rest of the look relatively simple for the strongest effect.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
