Even if prom is a month or two away, you should already be thinking about how you want your makeup done. If you figure it out in advance, you can practice the look so that you know you like it – and if you don’t, you have plenty of time to pick a new look that you actually love.
While you can of course wear whatever color you want, you might want to consider specific eye makeup for the color of your eyes. For all you green-eyed girls out there, there are certain colors that will really make your eyes stand out. The best shades for green eyes are taupe, purple, silver, and metallic dark green (like sage). Purple makes a beautiful contrast against green eyes, while taupe is a much more flattering neutral than brown. Silver makes a gorgeous smokey eye for green eyes, and you can also play around with gray liner.
But picking an eye shadow look out of these colors is still really difficult. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, here are 12 easy prom makeup ideas for brown eyes. Bring in the picture if you’re getting your makeup done, or use the tutorials some of these have to do them yourself. Oh, and by the way: these are perfect for prom, but really work for any event!
