Make Green Eyes POP!

I learned this on my own, long before they made kits for different colored eyes. I have dark green eyes and some colors of eyeshadow and eyeliner really hides the color of my eyes.

Bottom line is, if you use pink, mauve, maroon, purple, or any variance in between those shades it really makes green eyes stand out, especially if you use as your eyeliner also.

In the first picture, I used a white all over color all the way up to my brow. Then I used Morocco eyeshadow 
[discontinued] from EDM in my crease and also used it for my eyeliner. Morocco is a nice deep maroon shade which could be easily substituted with a shade like Wallaby from EDM or any other brand. Wallaby has a nice matte finish with no shimmer as the Morocco did.

In the following picture, it is the same concept. However, I used Mystic Night  from EDM. The picture is a bit overexposed and washes out the eyeshadow color. I just LOVE Mystic Night but you must be careful! It highly pigmented color and be very careful to not use too much or trust me, you will end up looking like a streetwalker! You must have a very light hand to apply this one. This, unlike the other color mentioned previously is a shimmer shadow. I used this for my eyeliner also. If you wanted to get REALLY dramatic, you could do black eyeliner on your top eyelid, then on your water line and lower lash line. Then top it off with a shade like Mystic Night.

I really love both of these looks, and every time I wear shades like this I get comments about my eyes.
