Makeup for Green Eyes: Ruddy Brown
"Green eyes are enhanced by -- and look best in -- in browns and dark browns," says makeup artist Claudia Lake, who counts Megan Fox and Gabrielle Union among her celebrity clients. "Achieving a natural look is easy if you stay in the brown family using powder shadows, cream shadows, pencils and liners."

Lake points to ruddy brown as a great eye makeup for green eyes. Here, Julianne Moore uses this warm neutral to add depth around her lash line and in her crease.

Makeup for Green Eyes: Blue
If you thought blue eye makeup was a relic of the '90s, think again: Cool, steely blues are back, and they look awesome on green eyes. Lake says she loves to apply navy and periwinkle makeup shades on clients with hazel eyes.

For a glitzy navy eye like Lucy Hale's, apply a shimmery blue shadow like Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in Giove. Smoke it up with a bit of black shadow on the top and bottom lash lines, and add a set of false lashes on top.
