Best Makeup Tips for Green dresses

You have decided to wear a green dress for your prom or a big fat wedding? or even for a friend’s wedding or a party or may be for an event. Now, the dress is chosen, yet you’re still confused about the makeup look, you will be going with that gorgeous green dress of yours. Worry not dearies! In today’s post, we’ll share some of the best makeup ideas which you can pair with your green attire. Green is a cool color with the ability to brighten your skin complexion. Imagine, when you are fair, dusky or medium skinned women, a gorgeous green complements the skin color and won’t make you look darker or extremely light. It’s a color of prosperity and unlike blue, women of all colors can wear it.

How to do makeup with Green Dress for a party

Having said that, green color is available to us in variety of different shades like lime green, medium green, grass green, olive green, sea green, dark green or even an emerald green. Based on that, let’s check out which are the different makeup looks that women should go for with green colored dresses. 

1. Face Makeup

For the face, it is always good that you have a good flawless skin. For green dress, the idea is to make the skin look polished and smoother. A bit of blemishes etc are still fine but a heavy cakey looking makeup with green dress for the day time is a strict NO NO. Reason for this is that when you go heavy with the unnecessary makeup it looks a tad bad with greens. On the other hand for black dress the heavy base can still look good and for the red dress as well.

• Try using a sheer light foundation and cover the under eye circles. This will give a better than before skin.
• You can apply the foundation in dots and blend that using your finger or a foundation brush. We like to use foundation brushes as that gives good finish.
• So, once the foundation and concealer is done, set that up with loose powder.
• Now let’s move to the eye makeup idea.

2. Eye makeup

You may not use blue eye shadow with blue dress freely without thinking much, but green eye makeup with a green party dress can never look bad. In fact, it is a very beautiful pair.

You may have noticed at our article, where we discussed about the makeup with blue dresses, we said that it is good to try a navy blue, brown or black eye shadow make up with your blue dress, however, with green dresses, you can go for green eyeshadows with some browns and blacks showing up on the crease. Moreover, green eye makeup looks so complimenting with your green clothing.

How to do green eye makeup:

• Apply a base or primer to prime and even tone the eyelids.
• Take some green eye shadow on the applicator brush, and apply it on the eye lids.
• Take a blending brush and take 2-3 shades lighter green eye shade and apply on the crease area.
• Mix a little black if you do not have a darker green color.
• Apply eyeliner as per your choice but do not use a green eyeliner over green shadow .
• Apply mascara and you’re done.

Other eye shadows makeup that are considered wonderful to pair with your green dresses are the ever green smokey black eyes, soft brown, kohl rimmed eye makeup. Or even a gold and bronzey makeup for eyes looks great for the evening.

Makeup is an art and there’s so much scope as per your choice. The suggestions are just the basic of what looks good when paired together. That’s it !! :)

When you’re wearing dark lipsticks with dark green dress, you should always line the lips. It brings more definition to your lips and also makes your lipsticks stay all day!
