Smokey eyes are usually done with black or dark gray eyeshadows. For green eyes, on the other hand, you can use lilac and wine: spread the first over the entire mobile eyelid and the second in the crease of the eye, fading towards the fixed eyelid.

A very easy and quick idea to realize but with a sure effect. On the eyelid use a periwinkle blue eyeliner, while on the lashes apply a purple mascara. Green eyes will light up with their own light.
3 - Neutral look for important occasions
For formal occasions such as interviews or business meetings, choose neutral shades: a golden color over the entire eyelid, a well-blended orange-brown in the crease. Finally, a brown kajal and lots of mascara.
4 - Peach makeup
Peach is also a must have for those with green eyes. For makeup you can use it by combining it with a brown that you will blend both in the crease and in the outer corner of the eye.
