5 Corals for Green Eyed Looks
5 Corals for Green Eyed Looks
One of my favorite ways to complement green eyeshadows is with coral/peach lipstick. There is just enough warmth to tie to the greens most commonly used and if you find one soft enough, it will complement and not compete.
- Bobbi Brown Bare Pink Rich Lip Color — delightfully light coral without too warmth, making it a wearable coral for all skin tones
- MAC Freckletone Lipstick — a soft peach with a hint of coral, a little sheerness but not too much
- Chanel Genie Extrait de Gloss — a glossy, semi-opaque peach coral adds color without going overboard
- Smashbox Splendid Lipstick — a pink-tinged coral with soft white shimmer and a glossy finish
- Korres #30 Liquid Lipstick — opaque and glossy, this is a soft peach with only a hint of warmth
I’m wearing Chanel Extrait de Gloss in Genie with my green heavy metal UD eyeliner! It looks so good. I agree that corals are a perfect match for green shadow/liner looks.
Thank you so much for this, Christine! I never know how to pair lipstick with colorful looks.
Like you, I like peachier lipsticks with green eyeshadow looks. Today I’m wearing a smoky green eye with Marquise ‘D lipstick and Mighty Aphrodite blush.
Dior Ultra Gloss in Coral Fantasy is my fave, but all the lip colors I buy have to match green eyeshadow because I wear it so much.
I love all these! But they just wouldn’t work over my pigmented lips! 🙁
Maybe Vegas Volt would work for you? It’s definitely an opaque coral, but it’s also pretty bright.
Thanks I’ll check that out! I bought ANOTHER rouge g today! Gemma – I’ve been looking for a dupe to this mauvey pink to no avail – I blame you for the addiction!!! 😉
Hey Christine
I was wondering what coral shade is good for me. I wear NC 44 in Mac mineralized satinfinish foundation and medium deep in mineralzized natural powder.
Most corals, if not virtually all, should work for you! 🙂
I do really love corally shades with green eyes! I wore Lancome’s Enticing Rose (which is a pinky corally shade with lots of hold shimmer) with green shadow and teal liner, and really loved it!
MAC See Sheer. the most awesome lipstick (aside from Plumful) that I own. beautiful lustre finish coral-pink.
I’ve done orange lips, coral lips and violet/purple lips with green eyes. Red always feels too christmassy, but I’ve done red in the past.
I love all of these colors! The first one is my favorite!
MAC Peachstock
Thanks Christine for compiling these lip combos – super helpful – i love Green eyed looks and do them often…but by the time i finish applying my eyeshadows i’m so pressed for time that i end up doing the same lip combo again and again – MAC Made to Order with MAC Nice Mix Up Ligglass. At least now i can switch it up.
It’s so hard NOT to re-do lip combos! I keep most of my makeup in another room (I do my makeup in my bathroom, about 90% of it is in the office now), so I itch to re-use whatever lip products I already have out on the counter, lol!
Umm… I want Korres #30 in my life RIGHT NOW >w<
Chanel Extrait de Gloss looks cool too. How do you compare their formula (Chanel Extrait de Gloss and Korres Liquid Lipstick)?
So very different! Chanel feels like a gloss – it has a non-sticky, jelly-like quality to it. More opaque, too. Korres Liquid Lipstick feels exactly like lipstick, just a little watery.
Thank you Christine 😀 I’ve never tried both of them before. Maybe I’ll start with Chanel Confidence and Korres #30!
I only hope that Korres packaging would look more err.. pricey! I like quality look product – how nonsense I am!
pretty
I love the look of coral lips but I am a NW45…will any coral look good on me?
Look for pink-based corals! 🙂 You’ll want to go pinker with a hint of orange – or go for a muted orange… more peach than neon!
I always pair green shades of eyeshadows to yellow toned pink lipsticks or a peach lipstick. My favorite so far are Shu Uemura PK316 and Guerlain Rouge G Gardenia.
I like to wear Clarins 722.
I love the texture and the colour.
The first lipstick is truly beautiful.
Weird Bobbi brown bare pink doesn’t really look like a soft coral on my lips much more brownish…
