How do I wear blues, greens, and other colored e/s at work?

I work in a business casual environment and I love the deep blues, greens coming out this season. I want to know how can I wear it without it looking too much for the office!!!

If you have any pics or links please let me know!!!! Thanks a BUNCH

I don't know why it would be overbearing, but I've also worn reds to work before As long as you don't hyper-over-do it, I'd think it'd be fine. Not all the way up to the eyebrow or anything like that, maybe some soft shades in between and around to mute it slightly, black/neutral eyeliner (if you were eyeliner)...anything can be done in moderation

If I want a subtle look with color, I often use a shimmery silver or neutral e/s all over the lid and lightly apply purple or green over top of it, blend it together. Or I apply the neutral color all over the lid and apply the green or purple on the outer v, blend it in. Softer look for daytime. Hope this helps.

You could always just wear a shimmery green eyeliner if you're worried you may look OTT

HTH

i do a neutral color on the inner and brow area and wear colors on the outer V and blend blend blend when i wear makeup at work.

You could line the inner 1/3 of your lids with a a bright green/blue and then line the rest of the lid in the usual way, with brown/black. That would give it a pop of color.

Or.. You could line your lids as usual, and line your lower lids with a brighter color.

I love blues and greens, but usually richer, darker shades like forest green and shimmery metallic blue. I find that these colors don't look too OTT when I apply them this way.

have fun with colors!!!

Thanks so much I appreciate the feedback. I think later today I am going to "play" with the colors and the neutrals to see how that looks...

I wear glasses and go to town on my eyes, even at work.

I agree with what Sleeptime or Brewgrl said. Sometimes I don't bother with eyemakeup at work, but when I do I like to use some color too.
