We’re all about the natural summer makeup vibes, but let’s be real, maximalist makeup is having a major moment right now. And we love the idea of shaking things up and going avant-garde for those special occasions. This summer, green eyeshadow is taking over our feeds. Matcha-inspired shades on the eyes are everything – giving your complexion an instant, vibrant pop. Keep scrolling for our top tips to nail the most head-turning beauty look with green eyeshadow.
It all starts with the quality of eyeshadows you use. When shopping in person, swatch your shadows to see its true color and opacity. When it comes to bright greens, we recommend Urban Decay’s 24/7 Eyshadow in Freak or Freck Beauty’s Shadow Stick in Algae Babe. Once you’ve picked your color, start with an eyeshadow primer to create a smooth base and enhance the color. Alternatively, a neutral colored cream base would allow the green eyeshadow to pop as well. If you have darker eyelids, use a color-correcting primer (like peach or orange) to neutralize the darkness, allowing the eyeshadow color to stand out more.
Pick up the color with a dense, full brush, then pack it on use a patting motion all over the eyelids. You can also try wetting the brush with setting spray for a more vibrant result. If the first application isn’t as saturated as you desired, you can always add another layer on top. Once you are happy with the way your green eyeshadow looks, be sure to lock everything in with a spritz of setting spray.
By following these steps and techniques, you can achieve the most saturated and vibrant green eyeshadow looks.
