30 Pretty Eye Makeup Looks to Enhance Green Eyes

If you’ve been wondering how to really make your green eyes stand out, I hear you!

Finding makeup that truly enhances your eye color isn’t always easy, so I’m always on the lookout for shades that deliver. Enter color theory—and the shades that complement green—one of the makeup world’s standout tricks.

It’s gorgeous, stunning, and comes in just about every shade you can imagine. Read on to see my 31 favorite eye makeup looks that will have your green eyes looking fabulous.

1. Matte Pink + Winged Liner

For a softer, more girly vibe, you really can’t go wrong with pairing matte pink with a classic cat eye.

Usually, a winged liner can feel super dramatic, but the matte pink gives it such a pretty and feminine feel. I’d finish the look with a gorgeous nude lipstick. It’s a total win.

2. Gold Glitter Look

When you really want to shine, sometimes all you need is gold. I mean, you don’t even have to add another color to it.

Gold just takes your eyes to a completely different level, so you have to try this classic color for a look that’s both chic and elegant.

3. Cut Crease Look

Okay, if you haven’t heard of the cut crease look, you absolutely need to know about it. It’s this huge makeup craze that Kim Kardashian West is obsessed with, and I totally get why.

It creates the illusion of bigger eyes, which is amazing if you have smaller eyes and want them to stand out. The best tip I’ve found is to use a spoon to apply it.

I know it sounds wild, but just hold it over your eye and use the curve as a guide. Put a darker eyeshadow above the crease and lighter shades below, then just blend. It’s seriously that easy.

4. Purple Eye Makeup Look

This combination of purple with a peachy copper eyeshadow is just unbelievably stunning. For that intense style, make sure you add some of the purple underneath your eyes, too.

And if you really want to make a statement, try to find a matching purple lipstick. Trust me, I know it seems like a leap when you’re used to nudes and reds, but purple looks so good. It’s been trending for a while now and it’s just exquisite.

5. Stunning Smokey Eye with a Pop of Glitter

It’s all about the smokey eye and a little bit of glitter. You’ll want to blend your eyeshadows to get that sexy smokey look and then add a touch of sparkle.

I think glitter looks so great under the eye; it adds to that mysterious feel. Since this look is heavy but still pretty neutral in color, you can totally brighten up your face with a killer red lipstick.

6. Dark Gold & Brown Smokey Eye

When you’re working with gold, honestly, any shade is going to be amazing. All gold tones look incredible, and when you blend them with a brown smokey effect, the result is just breathtaking.

Don’t be shy about trying light, medium, or dark copper tones. The more options you have in your makeup bag, the better! You could have a different copper style every weekend.

7. Fun Makeup Look for Summer

Summer is just around the corner, and I always find myself experimenting more with makeup this season. The sun is shining, and you want your makeup to match that vibe, right?

This look is beautiful, fun makeup at its absolute best. If you start practicing it now, you’ll be a total pro by the time summer hits, and all your friends will be begging you to do their makeup!

8. Coppery Red Eye Makeup Look

Mixing copper and red together creates this lovely, deep shimmer shade that will totally infuse your beautiful green eyes with warmth.

I’d apply eyeliner to the tear duct area and then go a bit softer underneath the eyes.

9. Black Smokey Eye + Mauve Lips

When you’re rocking a heavy, black smokey eye that really sets off your green eyes, all you need is a nude lipstick to complete the look.

I find that mauve shades look absolutely stunning and perfectly complement smokey eyes.

10. Green & Gold Eye Makeup Look

Just because you have green eyes doesn’t mean you should avoid green eyeshadows. As you can see here, green works so well with green eyes, especially when you pair it with gold.

My advice is to apply the green shade to your eyelid, then line it with a sparkly gold eyeliner and wing out the end. This creates a kind of border between your green eyes and the green eyeshadow.

11. Dark Green Smokey Eye

To get that perfect smokey eye, the key is to keep blending. So many people just blend for a second and then wonder why it doesn’t look right.

This is a perfect example of how a dark green smokey eye should look. Pro tip: you can always add a white eyeliner to your waterline to make smaller eyes look bigger.

12. Pink Glitter Look

Every girl loves a little bit of glitter, right? Especially when it’s pink! I’d say go for a glitzy and girly look with this pink glitter eyeshadow.

These photos show just how dramatic you can make your sexy green eyes. Take a black eye pencil and draw near your tear duct, put on your false lashes, and use a softer colored pencil under your eye.

That way, all the focus is on your eyelashes and that sparkle. With eyes this beautiful, you’ll want to party all night.

13. Champagne & Orange Makeup Look

Champagne isn’t just for drinking, honey, it’s a seriously striking eyeshadow color too. You can see from these pictures just how good champagne and orange tones look together.

The final color is similar to a light copper, which we already know is a home run for your eyes.

Next time you’re makeup shopping, you can walk right up to the counter and say, “Do you have any champagne and orange eyeshadows?” You’ll sound like a total pro!

14. Brown Winged Liner

Using a brown eyeliner instead of black gives you a much softer and warmer look. And if you fall in love with the brown liner, you should definitely try a brown mascara.

They look so amazing together. Since brown is an earth tone, it will make your green eyes look crazy-beautiful.

15. Gold & Purple

Pairing gold and purple together is a total match made in heaven for green eyes. This picture just shows how absolutely stunning your green eyes can look with this combo.

Keep the purple on and below your waterline, and place the gold in the inner corner of your eye. Perfect!

16. Glamorous Light Purple Eyes

For a glamorous style, go for a light purple shade on your eyelid. Then, apply a deeper purple above it and a touch of white in the corner of your eye. You’ll want to blend the deep purple above your crease line and add a little sparkle to the lilac shade.

But keep in mind, not everyone with green eyes will be into purple. You might just love your eyes with black mascara, and if that fits your style, that’s perfect.

It’s all about playing around to see what works for you. Your friends might have green eyes too, but remember, there are different shades of green.

We all have different tastes, and this is just a guide to give you ideas on how to highlight those emerald eyes.

17. Black & Gold Look

Black and gold just looks so pretty with green eyes. Mixing the two for a shimmering eye look is phenomenal. To finish it off, I’d add the same gold eyeshadow to your waterline and use a white cream in the corner of your eyes to make them stand out.

One tip: try to avoid silver. If you want a metallic shade on your eyelids, stick to bronze or copper tones. Silver doesn’t always look as great and doesn’t show off how sexy your green eyes are.

If you’re set on wearing silver, go for a deeper, darker steel shade—that works much better.

18. Copper Makeup Look

Copper shades look so amazing. Copper really highlights green eyes and gives them a wide-awake look.

Here’s something to try if you have green eyes: switch your black eyeliner and mascara to brown. It will instantly give you a different look.

Black can sometimes be overpowering and harsh, and brown will add a warmer shade to your eyes even before you apply eyeshadow.

19. Easy Smokey Eye Tutorial

These pictures are a great step-by-step guide on how to create a smokey eye. As you can see, this makeup adds a simple shine and shimmer to green eyes.

Since it’s pretty natural-looking, it could easily be your go-to daily makeup. It’s so easy to follow, and you’re left with a subtle smokey eye that works for day or night.

20. Black Smokey Eye with a Pop of Glitter

We all know that a black, smokey eye looks sexy on any eye color. This is going to look amazing with your green eyes for a night out.

Just add a touch of silver or white to the corners of your eyes, near the tear duct. And for that extra bit of glam, apply a pop of glitter just below your waterline.

21. Bright Look for Spring

Spring is here, and summer is right behind it, so make the most of it with a gorgeous, bright look this season. This beautiful purple shade will instantly brighten up your face.

You can even team it with a few flowers in your hair to make your eyes come alive. Bright colors are meant for having fun and experimenting with during the spring and summer.

A face full of color can really boost your mood, too. I mean, before we know it, it’ll be winter again and we’ll be back to darker shades. So get your bright colors out, girls, and rock those vibrant tones!

22. Dark Green & Pink Smokey Eye

This is such an ideal look for evening makeup. If you’re wearing a bright outfit or a bold lipstick, you’ll want to go a bit softer on your eyes, and this is perfect for that.

The dark green highlights green eyes even more, and you’ll look absolutely fabulous.

23. Gold Glitter + Cut Crease

Sexy, sleek, and sparkly. Those are the three words I’d use to describe this look. The cut crease technique is trending right now, so you definitely need to copy this.

I think the cut crease and gold glitter is such a perfect combination. The gold glitter looks absolutely amazing on the eyelids, right?

24. Elegant Makeup Look

This is a simple but really elegant look for the evening. Use a gold eyeshadow and add a few little touches of glitter, keeping all the sparkle right on the eyelid.

To get this gorgeous effect, blend a dark purple with a nude color. After you’ve applied your eyeshadow, you can either use the same color under your eye or go with a dark brown tone, then just smear it along to create the look.

25. Tutorial for Green Smokey Eye

Just look at these four shades – emerald green, deep purple, dark red, and white.

The first picture shows the eye without any makeup, and as you go through the photos, you can see how dramatic and attractive these colors make green eyes look. You should try this today to release your sexy vibe.

26. Glam Cut Crease

Do you want to look and feel glamorous? Then you have to try this.

Use both gold and brown eyeshadows, and don’t forget to use your spoon to get that perfect curve. It’s so easy once you know how!

27. Smoked Out Winged Liner

For a heavier evening look, I’d totally recommend this smoked-out eye makeup with a pop of gold glitter.

When the light catches your eyes, that gold glitter will look absolutely incredible.

28. Neutral Eye Makeup Look

If you’re feeling a more bare, neutral vibe, go heavy with the eyelashes and sweep a champagne shade across your eyelids. This one is almost bordering on silver.

It’s a classic and simple look that will look amazing with any outfit you put together.

29. Peach & Gold Eye Makeup Look

Peach can sometimes look a lot like copper, so this color will work really well too. This is a slightly softer look and not quite as shimmery on the eyelid as the copper tone.

I think it’s perfect for a day-to-evening makeup look.

30. Purple Glitter Eyes

Like I mentioned before, purple is a total winner with green eyes. On the color wheel, purple is opposite to green, so it’s a really good choice.

If you’re ever out shopping and can’t remember which colors suit green eyes, just remember to stick to warmer shades over cooler ones.

Add a little glitter to this striking purple to give it some glam. I’d use black eyeliner to create a thick, winged cat eye, and to make your eyes look wider, use a white eyeliner inside your waterline.

31. Perfect Evening Makeup Look

We all want to feel amazing when we go out, right? We want our makeup to last and look fabulous all night long.

For this look, go heavy with the lashes and on the outer edge of your eyelids. Add a winged tip and apply a shimmering gold or pink eyeshadow to your lids.

Line inside and below your waterline with black eyeliner, and then smudge it a little to get that dramatic look.
