Explore the range of greens that exist, from soft moss greens to bright emerald greens and from light olive greens to dark forest greens. Also consider greens that are more toward turquoise for a soft glow. With so many options, there are likely several tones that will appeal to you.

Decide which shades of green suit your coloring. Some greens have more of a yellow undertone, while others lean more towards blue. Hold up different colors against your face to see what makes you glow.

Opt for khaki green pants or a skirt if you don't like green against your face. This shade can serve as a neutral backdrop that will make almost any other color look great.

Pair a green top with black, navy, royal blue, tan, brown, white or denim. Depending on the shade green you select, there will likely be many options that will be good complements.

Wear a rich emerald green blouse open over a white tank top for a pop of brightness that will help light up your face. Or, wear a white blouse over a deep olive tank to give a nice contrast that will add interest and depth to your outfit.

Select a deep green silk dress that will be a stylish choice for almost anything.

Invest in green shoes, a green purse or green jewelry to add some color to any outfit you own.







Tips & Warnings









Play around with colors. Try pairing green with yellow, bright blue or red to get a more playful effect.








Incorporate green into your makeup routine. Look for bright green eyeshadow or eyeliner to add drama to your face. Or select green mascara for a hint of color without going all the way.








Be careful when pairing different shades of green. Some work well together but others can strike an off note. If you aren't sure whether you have a hit or a flop, always check the match in bright outdoor light to be sure you have the right balance.








Avoid greens that don't compliment your face. These can age you or make you look sick.
