Green eyeshadow looks are a vibe. The green looks amazing with brown eyes and can be found in many shades that range from earthy and neutral to vibrant and popping.
It’s a great color to have in your collection when you feel like wearing something a bit on the unique side. If you’re looking for some inspo, here are 9 green eyeshadow styles to help inspire your next look.
1. Earthy and Smoked Out
You can create your green eyeshadow looks with different shades of matte green and mix it with some light green or cream colored shimmer.
Smoke it out by applying the darker green shades into the outer corners and under the eyes and the lighter shades of green towards the inner corners.
Blend in the middle or add a third shade of medium green to the center of your eyelids.
Add your pale shimmer to the inner corners and blend out towards the middle and under the eyes.
Add your lashes or mascara, and your finished. Gorgeous.
2. Green Rainbow
Find a handful of soft shimmery green eyeshadow shades including some with blue undertones and some with yellow undertones.
Use the lighter and warmer green colors towards the inner parts of the eyelids and the cool blue-green shades in the crease and outer corner.
Also use the lighter colors up near the brow bone. This look is completely whimsical and romantic in a non-traditional way.

3. Keep it Simple
Green eyeshadow is unique enough that you don’t even need to use more than one to have a fun look.
It looks just as beautiful when you keep it simple with just one shade.
Find a shade of green that gives you the ultimate modern vibes, or go totally retro. Sometimes that’s the same exact thing.
Either way, find a green that is visually appealing and eye-catchy that goes well with your skin tone to add a little fun to your makeup look.
4. Add Bling
If you want to go for a little extra glam, you can buy little rhinestones in the color of your choice and decorate your green eyeshadow looks.
Sprinkle some in the corner or go all out and put it on the upper lash line and crease. Just be careful! You don’t want to get them in your eyes.
Imagine this with a green gown of some sort? Or better yet, black. The green can be your little pop of color.
5. Green Wings
You don’t have to just wear green as eyeshadow. You could also find a green eyeliner pencil that suits you.
Swipe it across your upper lash line and add your wings. No eyeshadow necessary for this look as it looks absolutely stunning on its own.
Not to mention the green really pops when it is the only thing you’re wearing.
And if you really want to go all green, they do have green mascara too, but that might be going overboard. Black mascara looks really pretty with green eyeliner if you don’t want to go bare.
7. Shimmer and Shine
Treat yourself to a gorgeous metallic chrome green eyeshadow or 3 and have fun creating gorgeous shimmery gradient looks.
Highlight the inner corners of your eyes with a light green shimmer to really make the look pop. You can also deepen the color in the outer corners for a more dramatic effect.
This is another look that doesn’t need eyeliner. Pair it with a nude lipstick and you are ready for a night out.
8. Warm it Up
Warm up your pale green look with some yellow eyeshadow. You could blend them together and create an ombre look and create wings with the eyeshadow.
These colors melt into each other so beautifully and adding black eyeliner will really make this look pop because of the contrast with the lighter colors.
If you want to make it really interesting you can add a little touch of black eyeliner to the top of the eyeshadow as well.
9. Earthy Mix
Add some brown or black to the crease with a very vibrant shade of green eyeshadow and blend.
The brown and green together give it an earthy look but the vibrancy of the green makes it more like an earth party. It totally gives garden princess vibes.
This look works for hooded eyes too. It’s like a green surprise when you close your eyes.
If you do want the green to show and you have hooded eyes, apply the green eyeshadow up into the crease and put the darker color right above the crease.
Then you will still see a little pop of green when your eyes are open.
So many ways to wear this amazing color. Pin it if you want to save for later.
