How do I make my green eyes look greener without contacts?

I too have green eyes and the trick is using colors that fall opposite on the color wheel. I use alot of coppers, cranberries, plums and oranges if I want that green color to explode. I find that MAC has a great selection for my eye color. Some colors I like to use:


Great for every day- Paradisco shadow on the lid, Mythology in the crease and then Teddy liner smudged into the lash line


Another easy day look- Honey Lust on the lid and Haux in the crease. Use a plum or cranberry toned liner.


For day looks use a neutral highlighter shadow on the brow bone to give it a lift. Phloof, Shroom, Sweetlust, Hint are all good examples of this


Great Night Look- Paradisco on the lid,


Rule in the entire crease, Folie just at the outside corner of the crease (to smoke it out) and then line with Sketch on top and bottom lashes. Highlight the browbone with Shroom. Throw on some mascara and a neutral pink gloss and you are ready to go....How do I make my green eyes look greener without contacts?

To make ur eyes look more greener use purple, taupe, pink, blue and even orange. These colours will highlight the green and make them stand out.
In general, eye makeup that contrasts with your eye color will make your eyes pop the most! For green eyes, try purples! Pinks and reddish colors (burgundy, wine, etc.) can also work well. If you're scared of using too much color, try just an eggplant or burgundy eyeliner with a more neutral shadow.





However, green eye makeup will just turn your eyes into one big green blur and people will see your makeup instead of your actual eyes. And if the makeup is a brighter green than your eyes, your eyes may look grey in comparison!





Green shirts may make your eyes look more green -- since the shirt is farther away from your eyes, it won't compete with your eyes like green eye makeup. Experiment to see what shade of green works best with your particular eye color and skintone.





Purple shirts may also work, since your green eyes will contrast with the purple shirt and stand out more!
I have green eyes and know just the trick! Find a subtle, but cute purple eyeshadow and apply it on the top of the eyelid and lightly below they eye. It will make your green eyes pop like emeralds!
To make green eyes pop, use liners and eye shadows that are opposite green on the color wheel -- this is true for any eye color (although, I'm not sure about gray (i have gray eyes and i'm still trying to figure it out; but, I think any color makes gray eyes pop; so, I'm lucky!).





So, for green eyes to pop, you want to choose purples, vibrant pinks and, browns.

The general rule of thumb is that you can mix together purples and reds to come up with a lovely set of shades that will be complementary to your green eyes to make them stand out.
Red eye shadow .. works for me, at least
Purple eye liner
Let the reflection of the sun bring them out!
I have green eyes and, i use the line of make-up thats for green eyes.. like its mostly purples.. like a plum colour eye liner and pinks and purple eyeshadow thoes shades work best
Wear neutral tones of make up. But excentuate your eyes by wearing Purple, green or blue eyeliner on your bottom eyelid.





Also wearing clothing with a lot of yellow, green or blue help to bring out the natural lighter side of your green eyes.
Use pinks and purples around your eyes
