Accentuate brown eyes with green eyeshadow in all the right places

Brown-eyed beauties, take note! Adding a dash of green to a neutral eyeshadow color palette will make your eyes pop. There are important factors to achieving maximum impact with this color combination. One factor is finding the right tone of green to compliment your eyes and skin tone. Another involves placement. If you put too much green on your lid, you may look like an evil villain in a superhero movie. Conversely, if you don't put enough, the green tone will get lost among the other neutrals and have no impact at all.

If this is starting to sound complicated, we promise it will all be completely clear with the help of this amazing tutorial. We've broken this look down into easy steps that guarantee you will soon be rocking shimmering lids that make others green with envy.

1. Begin by applying a base of concealer onto your lids above the pupil and blend it in with a beauty sponge.

2. Brush a warm light brown eyeshadow into the creases of your lids. Blend this color up toward your brow bone.

3. Apply taupe eyeshadow above your lash line and blend into the creases.

4. Begin applying green shadow in layers above your pupil and around your inner eye. This particular tutorial uses a chartreuse green color, but a similar look can be achieved with teal or pastel green tones. Build the intensity of the green by adding layers of green eye shadow until you see a noticeable contrast between the green and other colors.

5. Line upper lash line with black eyeliner powder

6. Add mascara as a finishing touch.
