Green and gold is a combination that refuses to blend into the background.
In this look, deep forest green meets bright golden reflections, framed by graphic black liner, silver accents, and dramatic lashes. The result feels a little otherworldly—part fantasy makeup, part editorial beauty.
The shade behind the eye look is Dragon Blood by Ourbella. Its green-to-gold color shift brings the dimension, while the graphic details make the whole look feel intentional.
If you're looking for a green and gold makeup look that goes beyond a simple wash of shimmer, here's what makes this one stand out.
The Shade Behind the Look: Dragon Blood
Dragon Blood is a multichrome single eyeshadow with a deep green color story and reflections of emerald, yellow gold, and chartreuse. The color can look different as the light and viewing angle change.
That shift is what makes it interesting in a look like this. The green gives the makeup depth, while the gold catches the light across the lids.
Instead of adding several competing eyeshadow colors, let one shade create the main effect. Then use liner, lashes, and small details to build the rest of the look around it.
How to Create This Green and Gold Eye Look
1. Start with a clean eye base
Prepare your eyelids as you normally would for eyeshadow. If you use an eye primer, apply it first and let it settle before adding color.
For a look with such a noticeable metallic finish, a smooth starting surface helps you control where the color goes.
2. Press Dragon Blood onto the lids
Pick up a small amount of Dragon Blood with a clean fingertip or flat eyeshadow brush. Press it onto the eyelid, concentrating the color where you want the green and gold reflections to stand out.
Build the color in thin layers rather than applying too much at once. Turn your face slightly as you work to see how the reflections change with the light.
3. Blend the edges without losing the shine
Keep the reflective color concentrated on the lid, then softly blend around the edges.
The goal is to soften the transition—not to brush away the part that makes the shade special. If you want more definition, use a matte green or neutral shade around the crease.
4. Add graphic liner and silver accents
The graphic black lines and small silver details give this look its fantasy-inspired finish.
You can recreate the idea with a graphic liner shape and a few carefully placed cosmetic gems. Keep the details balanced around the eyes so they frame the green-gold color rather than compete with it.
5. Finish with dramatic lashes
Full lashes emphasize the eye shape and make the metallic color feel even bolder. If you prefer a less dramatic version, skip the extra graphic details and keep the focus on the shadow itself.
Make the Look Your Own
You don't have to recreate every detail to wear this color combination.
-
For a simpler look: Wear Dragon Blood across the lids with mascara and a clean eyeliner shape.
-
For a more dramatic look: Add graphic liner, statement lashes, and small decorative accents.
-
For a fantasy-inspired finish: Coordinate the rest of your makeup with the green and gold palette and keep the reflective color as the focal point.
One shade can take the look in different directions depending on how much you apply and what you pair it with.
The Unexpected Detail: Matching Green-Gold Lips
The metallic green-gold effect continues onto the lips in this creator look, making the makeup feel cohesive from eyes to lips.
For a wearable interpretation, keep the same color story without necessarily matching the finish exactly. A lip product specifically labeled for lip use can bring in a coordinating green, gold, or metallic effect.
Important: Dragon Blood is sold as an eyeshadow. Do not recommend applying it to the lips unless Ourbella has confirmed that the formula is suitable for lip use. To recreate the look safely, use a lip-approved product for the lips.

Final Thoughts
A green and gold makeup look doesn't need a whole palette of competing shades. Start with a color that shifts between deep green and bright gold, then build around it with details that suit your style.
With Dragon Blood at the center, this look turns a single eyeshadow into something bold, graphic, and unmistakably eye-catching.
