We love a flash of eyeshadow on a night out. It brings our eyes to life and adds a pop of colour to our outfit, and helps us to stand out from the crowd. But choosing the right colour to complement your eyes and helps you to look unreal isn’t easy, especially if your go-to colour is pink or brown. If you want something that will really turn heads, you should go for green.
A vibrant green colour is popular at the moment with trendsetters showing off the striking look; from Mila Kunis to Kylie Jenner. The strong colour looks beautiful and bold; a perfect match for a night on the town with your squad. After all, you want to stand out and make an entrance with your dazzling makeup. And with green eyeshadow, you’ll certainly make a statement with your look.
Shimmering green eyeshadow will give you a fresh, on-trend look and will complement your outfit. Just make sure you keep the rest of your make up to a minimum if you are going bold and proud with the juicy green. That way, you won’t overdo it and turn those looks from envy to pity when you are on your night out – you don’t want to end up looking like Shrek.
There are so many green eyeshadows out there, so we have done the hard work for you by finding these 7 unmissable green gems which will draw attention to your eyes and help you to show you mean business.
