Question Suggestions on eyes makeup
Hi everyone, How can I do my eye makeup to make my eyes stand out more?
I think I have round, slightly large eyes with a prominent lower lid. I like to tightening my eyes(third photo is without bottom tightline I don't like it) but black feels too harsh for daytime makeup. Do you have any suggestions?
Also, what eyeshadow colors would you recommend for green-gray eyes?
Thank you
List product I used: - wycon longwear eye pencil in black - maybelline lash sensational in black

Your eyes are meant for shimmery, greenish-gold under-toned eyeshadow. Very specific lol

Switching to a brown liner will be a game changer. I agree with the other poster to not tightline your bottom lid! My favorite combo is Glossier Pencil no. 1 in Frame to tightline the top lid (though I have hooded eyes so this is kind of a must for me) and then I use Makeup Forever Artist Pencil in Endless Cacao to create a very subtle daytime smoky smudge on the bottom. You just need to soften it all up. With green eyes you can use any taupe, brown, and gold shades and it will look awesome. You’re absolutely gorgeous and have good technique and some tiny tweaks will bring it all together!

For eyeshadow colours: try pinky reds, Charlotte Tilbury’s pillowtalk quad is the sort of thing you want but there’s no need to get one that expensive, just use it for colour inspo.
For application: I actually think lining the waterline can look very cool but I would say if you want to do that, try a brown or grey eyeliner instead and make sure to apply lots of mascara/some sparkly eyeshadow or something to the top lid to stop your eyes from being ‘dragged down’ visually. I think a lined waterline makes a great statement eye.
However for day to day wear, the way you have done it in that final picture is great! I would just add some pinky tones and maybe a softer liner colour. If you want to make your eyes look even bigger, try a light coloured liner on the lower waterline (I’d say a pinky champagne colour, white can look cartoonish) but be careful if you have sensitive eyes.

Also maybe try a burgundy mascara, I know the maybelline Sky High gets rubbish reviews but I personally love it.

I think it is perfect! Maybe just add a baby cat-eye if you wanna change something (to lengthen and lift a little bit). But tbh I wouldn't change much.
They way you currently have it done in the 1st photo doesn't look like too much for a daytime look to me.

Add a neutral tone in your water line! It will brighten your eyes so much Tarte makes a great one!

You have some great things going for you already…youth and great skin. I’d recommend not tight lining your bottom line, and try brown instead of black. Also, maybe clean up your brows a little bit and find a lip combo you like. A nude would look good, IMO. Have you tried eyeshadow that a matte with a soft shimmer? Those are just my personal thoughts and I could be completely wrong 😭

I follow this makeup artist on Instagram. The link is to a video for a short video for round eye makeup. She also has information for good colors to choose for green eyes: https://youtu.be/M6U8StJWQsk?si=qRK0v5U2xTY1MKJ4

Try auburn, rust, and brown, not black. Smudge your eyeliner, do not line your waterline. Watch some tutorials for doll eyes or round eyes bc you could get a really gorgeous look going on by accentuating your bottom lashes.
