The Best Green Makeup for Your Skin Tone

Oquendo says that while fair skin can pull off deep greens, paler or minty greens tend to complement this skin tone especially well.

Rule of thumb for olive skin tones and green eye makeup? Oquendo says to avoid khaki-colored greens in general. Instead, opt for a frosted jade or go for a deeper green and buff it out on your lid. Our pro says he applies Kevyn Aucoin's Eye Definer in Evergreen to the eyelids and then blends it into a stain.

Oquendo says that medium skin tones should also stay away from khaki-colored greens, but all other shades can be super flattering. In fact, he says that emerald or anything with gold flecks in it can be an amazing match. 

For deeper skin tones, Oquendo suggests going for a darker blue-based green or an ultra bright and highly pigmented lime green.
