Makeup Products for Green-Eyed Redheads -How to be a Redhead

Green eyes are stunning, particularly when complemented by red hair. Specific makeup colors can enhance your green eyes and make them truly stand out. Contrasting colors emphasize the green, while neutral shades can create a cohesive overall look. With the right makeup, highlighting your green eyes is effortless.

Plum + Purple:

One of the most effective ways to make green eyes stand out is by using shades of purple. Plum or purple can be applied as eyeshadow, eyeliner, or even mascara. As complementary colors, purple enhances the vibrancy of green. Since redheads often have warm undertones from their hair color, choosing warm purple shades like plum can create a striking and harmonious look.

Brown:

Utilizing neutral tones to enhance your green eyes is both simple and versatile. Selecting rich, warm shades of brown and tan can allow your eyes to shine without overwhelming distractions. As a neutral color, brown can be used in various forms, including eyeliner, eyeshadow, and mascara. Brown is one of our preferred redhead mascara options, as it adds dimension without appearing too dark or heavy.

Gold/Bronze/Copper:

While warm shades of brown effectively enhance green eyes, metallics warrant their own category. The yellow and orange undertones in colors like gold, bronze, and copper elevate these shades beyond traditional browns. These metallic flecks significantly enhance the vibrancy of green eyes and add warmth to the entire face. Although gold and bronze are not typically used for mascara, we highly recommend opting for an auburn shade. It features similar warm yellow-orange undertones that can dramatically enhance green eyes.
