    Contrast is best for making colors pop. So, red-based hues like pink, mahogany, or coral are great for emphasizing green eyes.

    Wear neutral shades like taupe and gray to let the soft color of your green eyes shine. Browns and muted greens are also great choices.

    Green eyes have a very small amount of pigment. There is a wide range of melanin density that produces brown eyes, but a very specific amount that makes eyes look green.

    If your eyes are a warm green with gold flecks, try a cool violet or blue-gray shade. If your eyes are more blue-green, coral or gold are flattering choices.

  • Question
    I'm half-Korean, and I have green eyes and monolids, how do I bring out the green in my eyes if I have dark brown hair with fringe?
    Community Answer
    Chances are with bright eyes and dark hair, your eyes already stand out. If you think your hair is covering them, I suggest trying a different hairstyle or cutting the fringe a little shorter. You should also try using eyeshadows that enhance your eye color, like wine, plum, or lilac/lavender. These will enhance the yellow and golden/green hues in your eyes.
