1. Green with Envy: A Soft and Subtle Daytime Look
This look is perfect for everyday wear or for those who prefer a more natural makeup aesthetic. Here’s how to achieve it:
- Apply a light shade of brown eyeshadow, like a warm taupe or a matte beige, all over your eyelid as a base shade.
- Use a fluffy blending brush to blend the brown shade into your crease.
- In the crease, gently blend a muted green shade, like olive green or khaki.
- Apply a shimmery champagne shade to your inner corner to brighten up your eyes.
- Line your upper lash line with a brown kohl pencil and smudge it slightly for a softer look.
- Finish the look with a volumizing mascara on your upper lashes and a touch on your lower lashes for added definition.
2. Brownstone Beauty: A Sophisticated Neutral Look
This look is perfect for work, brunch with friends, or any occasion where you want a polished yet effortless look. Here’s how to achieve it:
- Apply a light shade of brown eyeshadow, like a matte beige or a light taupe, all over your eyelid as a base shade.
- Use a shader brush to apply a slightly deeper brown shade, like a rich chocolate or a warm brown with a golden undertone, to your crease.
- Blend the crease shade upwards and outwards to create a soft definition.
- Apply a shimmery bronze shade to the center of your eyelid for a touch of glam.
- Line your upper lash line with a brown liquid eyeliner for a more defined look.
- Finish the look with a lengthening mascara on your upper lashes and a single coat on your lower lashes for a natural yet polished look.
3. Smokey Serenade: A Dramatic Green and Brown Smokey Eye
This look is perfect for a night out or a special occasion when you want to make a statement. Here’s how to achieve it:
- Prime your eyelids with a good quality eyeshadow primer to ensure the smokey look lasts all night.
- Apply a deep brown shade, like a dark chocolate or espresso, all over your eyelid as a base shade.
- Use a shader brush to pack the brown shade into your crease and blend it upwards and outwards to create a diffused effect.
- Next, take a deep emerald green shade and apply it to the outer third of your eyelid, blending it seamlessly into the brown shade in the crease.
- Use a small detail brush to apply the green shade along your lower lash line for added depth and drama.
- Line your upper lash line with a black kohl pencil, smudging it slightly for a softer effect.
- Apply a black liquid eyeliner on top of the kohl pencil to create a dramatic wing.
- Finish the look with a volumizing and lengthening mascara on both your upper and lower lashes for an intense, smoky effect.
