Eyeshadow for
green eyes

Mauve, purple and burgundy can bring out the contrast in green eyes. Warm browns add soft definition, while green shades create a tonal look. Start with a colour you enjoy, then choose the finish that feels like you.

Three ways to wear it

Soft, expressive or tonal? These shade pairings give you a starting point, rather than a rule to follow.

01 / SOFT & EVERYDAY

Easy mauve

A sheer layer of mauve brown keeps the look understated. Add chocolate brown at the outer corner when you want a little more definition.

Cha Cha on the lid
Praline for depth
02 / COLOUR & CONTRAST

Purple & berry

Try matte purple as a softly blended accent, or burgundy shimmer on the lid. Use a light hand for everyday colour and build it up for the evening.

Grape Escape for matte purple
Sangria for burgundy shimmer
03 / GREEN ON GREEN

Olive & forest

Olive shimmer and matte forest green give a tonal look depth. Add light green shimmer to the centre of the lid if you prefer a brighter finish.

Safari + Forest
Iced Matcha for a lighter accent

Colour advice, without the guesswork

Which eyeshadow colours suit green eyes?

Purple, plum and burgundy are useful starting points when you want contrast. Mauve gives you a softer version of that colour direction. Copper, bronze and warm brown offer another way to add definition.

Eye colour is only part of the picture. Your skin tone, outfit and preferred intensity matter too. Compare shades in daylight and start with a small amount.

Matte, shimmer or glitter?

Choose matte when you want soft shading without sparkle. Shimmer catches the light; try it across the lid or as a smaller accent. Glitter gives a more sparkling finish.

Grape Escape and Forest are matte loose shades. Sangria, Safari and Iced Matcha are pressed shimmer shades. Poppy is a pressed glitter shade. Check each product page for its formula, finish and ingredients.

Start with a simple application

  • Apply a thin layer of your chosen shade to the lid.
  • Blend the edge with a clean brush.
  • Add a deeper shade to the outer corner if you want more definition.
  • Build colour gradually and keep loose powder away from the eye itself.

For loose eyeshadow, pick up a small amount and tap off excess before applying. Pressed shades let you pick up colour directly from the pan.

Your green-eye questions

Can I wear green eyeshadow if I have green eyes?

Yes. You can create a tonal look with olive, forest or lighter green. Vary the depth or finish to give the look definition, rather than trying to match your iris exactly.

Which colour should I try for an everyday look?

Start with a sheer layer of mauve brown or warm brown. Cha Cha gives a soft mauve-brown sheen; Praline adds chocolate-brown depth. Choose whichever feels most natural with your usual makeup.

Should I choose matte or shimmer eyeshadow?

Both can work. Matte is useful for soft shading, while shimmer adds reflected light. You can use one finish throughout or combine a matte accent with shimmer on the lid.

Is eyeshadow for green eyes the same as green eyeshadow?

No. Eyeshadow for green eyes describes shades you might choose for your eye colour, including mauve, purple and warm brown. Green eyeshadow describes the colour of the product, whatever your eye colour. Explore our green eyeshadow collection for green-coloured shades.
