Samira Vishwas | August 10, 2026 11:25 AM CST

The month of Sawan holds special significance for green clothing and bangles. In Hinduism, green is considered a symbol of prosperity and fortune. Therefore, women prefer to wear green sarees, suits, bangles, and jewelry during this time. If you’re wearing eye makeup, try green smoky eye makeup to match your outfit.

Preparing for eye makeup

Before starting your eye makeup, thoroughly cleanse your eyes. Next, exfoliate the skin around your eyes and apply a little moisturizer. Then, apply a primer. If primer isn’t available, apply a light concealer and compact powder to help the eyeshadow last longer.

Choosing the Right Green Shade

Not every green shade looks the same on all skin tones. Emerald and olive green are suitable for brighter skin tones, while forest, bottle, and deep green are suitable for darker skin tones.

How to do green smokey eye makeup

– Apply light brown or nude eyeshadow on the crease of the eyelids, so that other colors blend easily.

– Apply green eyeshadow to the center of the eyelids, gently patting it in with a brush.

– Apply dark green or black eyeshadow on the outer corner of the eyes and blend it gently.

– Where the two shades meet, gently blend with a clean blending brush.

– Apply black kajal on the waterline and you can also apply thin eyeliner on top.

– Apply a little green eyeshadow on the lower lash line and blend it.

– Finally, apply good quality mascara.

Keep your makeup simple

When your eye makeup is bold, keep the rest of your makeup simple.

– Keep the base makeup simple.

– Apply peach or nude blush.

– Use nude, peach or light pink lipstick.

Suitable Outfits for Smoky Eye Makeup

Green smokey eye makeup looks great with green sarees, Anarkali suits, lehengas, silk or cotton sarees, and golden or off white dresses.

Long Lasting Eye Makeup Tips

Always use eye primer.

– Apply powder eyeshadow over creamy eyeshadow.

– Use waterproof kajal and eyeliner during rainy season.

– Use makeup setting spray.

– People with oily skin should first apply loose powder on the eyelids.

Avoid mistakes

– Do not apply too much green color together.

– Do not skip blending, otherwise the makeup will look patchy.

– Avoid applying powder eyeshadow with a wet brush.

– Do not use too much glitter, otherwise the smoky look will not be achieved.
