The best eyeshadow shades for green eyes are reds, purples, greens, blues and browns. Complement the emerald sparkle of green eyes with green and blue eyeshadows, or reach for pops of purple and red for expert contrast according to colour theory:
Red eyeshadows are the perfect opposite to green eyes, drawing out their natural green tones and helping them to appear even more vibrant. Try my Luxury Palette and Eyes to Mesmerise cream eyeshadow in Walk of No Shame.
Blue eyeshadows are a neighbouring colour family to green and look particularly flattering on green eyes that have a natural hint of blue. Try Charlotte’s Palette of Beautifying Eye Trends in Denim Dimension.
Purple eyeshadows can make green eyes pop, especially reddish tones like mulberry, claret and aubergine. Try Charlotte’s Palette of Beautifying Eye Trends in Digital Lilac.
Brown eyeshadows can create soft or smokey eyeshadow looks that set the stage to let your green eyes shine. Try my Super Nudes Easy Eye Palette.
Green eyeshadows of all kinds are a perfect match for green eyes from bright emerald greens to golden greens to smokey khaki greens. Try Charlotte’s Palette of Beautifying Eye Trends in Emerald Effect.
Wearing blue eyeshadow with green eyes is an easy way to bring out the piercing, cool tones that make green eyes so unique. Navy, turquoise and sapphire can each give green eyes a blue-green appearance, morphing your eye colour sparkle to look even more mesmerising! Discover the perfect shades of blue to create a breathtaking blue eyeshadow look in my Palette of Beautifying Eye Trends – Denim Dimension! I created this palette with effortless, wearable shades that give every eye colour the perfect pops of blue. Whether you choose icy, gunmetal blues or daydream cornflour blues, these electric shades will make your green eyes pop!
Contrast the gorgeous green glimmer of your eyes with purple eyeshadow. Adding a pop of purple to your eye makeup is an easy way to enhance the appearance of green hues; lilacs and lavenders look ethereal on green eyes and smouldering violets and plums create deep, dreamy colour play that helps green to shine even brighter. Create stunning purple eyeshadow looks for green eyes with shades from my Palette of Beautifying Eye Trends in Digital Lilac! Tap them on to give your eye makeup a modern, future dusk feel that beautifully complements the glow of green eyes.

To create a soft, natural eyeshadow look for green eyes, reach for understated, rosy browns and golds with flattering shimmer to make green eyes appear bigger and brighter. I created my Exagger-Eyes eyeshadow palette as my secret beauty trick for getting that bright-eyed, sparkling, supermodel stare. It features 4 dazzling rose-gold shades that prime, define and enlarge the look of your eyes while giving them a twinkling glitterball effect that enhances your eye colour with a natural-looking glow.
Give your green eyes a smouldering, smokey appearance with a cool-toned eyeshadow like Eyes to Mesmerise in Oyster Pearl. If your eyes are green with flecks of gold, Oyster Pearl is a beautiful shade for you! It is a cool-toned oyster shell shade that complements the green in your eyes, but also has golden shimmer that brings out the golden tones in your eye colour. Pat Oyster Pearl all over your lids then smoke out the edges to perfect your smokey eyeshadow look for green eyes.
Make green eyes look even greener by coordinating your eyeshadow with your eye colour! Green eyeshadow accentuates the natural colouration of green eyes, making them appear glowing and more prominent. Staying within the green colour family is one of the easiest ways to enhance the look of green eyes with eyeshadow. Any shade of green from olive to emerald will complement green eyes beautifully and you can find everything from mesmeric mint to eclectic earth tones and dazzling jade in Charlotte’s Palette of Beautifying Eye Trends in Emerald Effect.

Reaching for a brown eyeshadow is a foolproof way to make your green eyes pop! Brown eyeshadow is one of the most versatile products in your makeup bag and it’s an easy way to enhance the look of any eye colour. Whether you love soft, smokey or sparkling brown eyeshadow looks, you can find all the flattering brown eyeshadow shades you need in my eye makeup collection! For a hypnotising brown eyeshadow look for green eyes, I recommend my Hypnotising Pop Shot in Smokey Quartz – it’s a gorgeous mink shade with cool, silver shimmer that will emphasise the natural cool tones in your green eyes.
The allure of green is undeniable and framing green eyes with a dark eyeshadow can make them appear even more mesmerising. Smoking a dark shade along the upper and lower lash line or over the lids creates a dramatic, cat-eye effect that positions your glowing green eyes as the stars of the show. To get the look, reach for a rich, velvety shade like my Eyes to Mesmerise in Chocolate Bronze. The easy cream formula glides onto the eye area and blends out to create a dreamily diffused dark eyeshadow look that will bring your green eyes to life!
They say opposites attract, darlings… And they aren’t wrong! Following colour theory, red and green are perfect opposites and effortlessly make one another pop. In terms of eye makeup, red eyeshadows like crimson, garnet and cranberry will create warm eye looks that expertly contrast and accentuate the look of your green-eyed gaze. I love to use my Eyes to Mesmerise cream eyeshadow in Walk of No Shame to give green eyes a warm, rosy glow! It’s the perfect muted red to set your green eyes ablaze!
Greens, golds and brown eyeshadows and green eyes are a makeup match, and you can find all of these gorgeous, glistening, earth-toned shades in my Palette of Beautifying Eye Trends in Emerald Effect! This green eyeshadow palette is an expertly curated collection of green shades that work in harmony with green eyes to create moments of makeup magic. The brown mattes can be used to softly accentuate your crease for a naturally enhanced look and the vibrant pops of green will beautifully complement the existing green hues of your eyes. Whether you tap the mint green sparkle shade all over your lids to create an iridescent green eyeshadow look or smudge the golden green shade onto the lash line to create a glowing, olive green, smokey eye, Emerald Effect is my breakout star when it comes to eyeshadow palettes for green eyes!
