One of the eye colors I’ve really been getting into lately are greens. I have medium brown eyes, and I think that green eyeliners and eyeshadows with hints of green are very complementary to those with brown eyes, especially the lighter and darker shades of brown and hazel. Greens can also actually be worn by most complexion types, but some people with very, very fair skin may want to stay away from lighter greens, especially if their skin has any ruddy undertones, as it can actually tend to bring these out more, and warmer shades of green and brown would usually be recommended.
My favorite new eyeliner is one by Lord & Berry, and it’s called “Forest”. It’s basically a deep forest green that is earthy in tone and is pretty dark. It’s actually hard to tell that it’s green unless you get right up on it, but the results do bring out the eyes more than say a typical brown or black eyeliner might do.
Greens actually look really good on redheads too, and look exceptional on those with greenish hues in their eyes, even if they have generally brown eyes, but are one of the lucky ones who have exotic flecks of color in them, bringing out more than one color depending on the lighting, their mood, and other factors that can influence the way the eyecolor looks that day.
Deeper, warmer greens are best. I’d definitely say to stay away from the brighter, more flourescent-types of greens, as those would obviously just look cheap and too overpowering. We’re going for subtle here! I really like some of the earthy tones that Bare Minerals puts out in their eyeshadows, so you may want to look into one of their earthy greens in eyeshadow, and I also believe they have eyeliners out now too.
