What shade of green eyeliner looks best on hazel eyes?

Question

i have dark brown hair (with a little bit of auburn in it), really pale skin, and gold-hazel eyes.

a lot of people have said that black looks good on hazel eyes, but it makes mine look too harsh. i'd love to try green, but i don't know what shade to go for.

any suggestions?

Answer 1

I have hazel eyes and it really depends on the clothing color you're wearing and the shadow color you have on. My hazel ranges from a dark turquoise blue all the way to a golden brown depending on what I wear. So here's what I do.

Red/orange/pink, I tend to go with a brown/bronze eyeliner with a pink/brown shadow combo.

browns and blacks, I will use a violet eyeliner with a gold/violet shadow combo.

White/pastels, I will use a dark khaki/sage green eyeliner with a pink/green shadow combo.

One thing you can do, go to your local department store and ask for a makeover. Then you can play around with various different colors until you find the one that you like the best.  

Answer 2

Any green colour would look good.

the olive green should bring out the gold in your eyes more, and the darker greens will make your eyes look more greenish.

With hazel eyes don't be afraid to go for those light colours.

The darker greens mimic the black liner look but it won't be as harsh as the black.

personally with my eyes i go with a light purple and it makes them orange-ish, I like doing that because than it looks like my hair colour. Than I like going with a dark green to look like I have green eyes.

It really depends on the look going going for and the colour of your hazel eyes. During the day definitaly go with a paler green for the day look but go with dark for the exotic look.

Answer 3

Brown eyeliner will contrast your eyes and make them pop, plus its not to harsh for your red hair and pale skin.  Also try a bronzy brown or light gold eyeshadow.

Answer 4

Go for a dark green, like forest green or a dark emerald. Good choice of color! Green looks amazing with red/auburn hair!

Answer 5

A darkish sagey-khaki green I guess.

As similar to your eyes as you can find.

Though I'd probably go for dark brown with sagey eyeshadow, if you wear that much...
