Festive Makeup: Gorgeous Green Eye Shadows

Thursday December 2, 2010 by Hafsa

Try something different with your makeup this holiday season, starting with Green eye shadows. More than merely a Christmas colour, greens are fresh, bold, and pair perfectly with dark eyes.

Alicia Keys, Katy Perry, Leighton Meester

Alicia's look is more subtle, and she matches her shadow to her green dress. Katy (being Katy) boldly blended green with grey and brown, and completed the look with coral lips. Leighton went sultry, using light green to line her inner eye and charcoal all the way to the point of her brow.

Here are some of our favourite green-toned eye makeup products...

(1) L'Oreal HIP High Intensity Pigments Eyeshadow Duo in 'Flashy'
(2) Revlon Matte Eyeshadow in 'Teal
(3) Ardene Eyeshadow
(4) Rimmel Underground Eyeful Eye Glistener
(5) Rimmel London Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil in 'Green Shimmer'
(6) Wet ‘n Wild Idol Eyes
(7) Urban Decay Eyeshadow in 'Chronic'
(8) NYX Eyeshadow in 'Lime'
(9) MAC Eyeshadow in 'Steamy'
(10) Maybelline New York Eye Studio Eyeshadow Quad in 'Sapphire Siren'

Are you bold enough to experiment with green?
