15 Stunning Makeup Looks for your Sage Green Dress

I still remember the first time I wore a sage green dress.

It was for my friend’s wedding and I wanted to look perfect but wasn’t sure how to do my makeup.

After some experimenting, I finally found a look that made my eyes pop while complementing the earthy green tones. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked on finding the best makeup to pair with sage green outfits.

The key is choosing shades that enhance rather than compete with the dress. Focusing on neutral, green-based makeup helps keep the look cohesive.

Nude Lip

A nude or pale pink lip color works beautifully with a sage green dress to give it a clean, polished look without being too distracting so all eyes stay on the bold color of your gorgeous dress.

When I wear a nude lip, I love using a matte liquid lipstick in a warm peachy tone that complements my skin tone perfectly, then I’ll top it off with a clear gloss to get that subtle sheen.

Nude lips are my go-to whenever I wear sage green because I really want my dress to be the star of the show and I don’t want my lip color competing with it.

I suggest trying out a few different nude lipstick shades to find the one that flatters you best – go for ones with warm undertones that offset the cooler tones of the sage green.

If you want to amp up a nude lip, try adding a bit of brown liner first to define your lips or top it with a nude gloss that has very subtle shimmer for extra polish.

I like to finish my nude lip with setting powder to make it last all night without having to worry about constant touch ups and reapplication.

Warm Browns

Warm brown eyeshadows are perfect for making green eyes pop while complementing the earthy green tones of a sage dress.

I like to sweep a shimmery light champagne shade all over my lid up to my brow bone to create a bright base, then blend in warm medium browns in my crease and darker browns along my lash line.

Using a variety of brown tones and textures creates nice depth and dimension on the eyes.

Don’t be afraid to really blend the shadows together so there’s a seamless gradient from light to dark brown.

If I want to add more glam, I’ll take a bronze or gold liner and trace my lower lashline which makes my green eyes glow against the sage dress.

No sage green eye look is complete without lots of black mascara to separate and define the lashes – it balances beautifully with the warm shimmery browns.

I recommend using a volumizing mascara formula to really make your eyes stand out and complete the eye look.

Once I finish all my eye makeup, I’ll go back in with a clean blending brush and soften any harsh edges so the look is polished but still nice and smoky.

Gold Shimmer

For a glamorous look, try using gold eyeshadow with your sage dress since the warm golden shimmer helps make green eyes shine bright.

I like to press the glittery gold shadow all over my lid up to my brow bone for the most megawatt sparkle.

If you really want to amp up the drama, take the gold shadow under your lower lash line as well for an all-over glam vibe.

I’ll balance the striking gold eye look with a medium brown crease color blended well and lots of black mascara on my top and bottom lashes.

The key is blending – take your time to avoid any harsh lines between the gold lid and brown crease color.

You can use your finger to apply the gold shadow for maximum pigment payoff and metallic shine.

For daytime, try using a gold shadow with a satin finish rather than super sparkly glitter for a more subtle sheen.

I like to highlight my inner corner with the same gold shadow to help open up my eyes and tie the whole eye look together.

Green Eyeliner

Green eyeliner is an easy way to make your eyes pop while complementing a sage green dress.

I’ll trace my upper lash line with a forest green or emerald liner, starting thin at the inner corners and getting thicker as I move outward.

Smudging the green liner slightly with an angled brush creates a gorgeous soft smoky effect that pairs perfectly with my sage dress.

Lining my lower waterline with the same green liner helps tie the whole green theme together.

I like to keep the rest of my eye makeup neutral with this bold green liner look – just some champagne shimmer on the lids, brown in the crease and black mascara.

If you have blue eyes, a green liner will make them look unreal – it brings out the flecks of green and yellow in the iris.

Using waterproof green liner prevents smudging and transferring throughout the day so your eye look stays crisp.

Try different shades of green liner like forest, emerald and lime to see which one complements your eye color and sage dress best.

Taupe Eye Makeup

For a sophisticated vibe with my sage dress, I love using different tones of taupe on my eyes since it’s the perfect neutral that isn’t too warm or cool.

I’ll sweep a shimmery champagne taupe shadow all over my lid up to my brow bone to create a bright base.

In my crease, I’ll blend in a matte medium taupe shadow to add depth and contour my eyes.

Then I’ll take a darker cool-toned taupe shadow and concentrate that on my lash line to define my eyes.

Make sure to really blend the taupe tones together so there’s a smooth gradient and no harsh lines.

I finish this taupe eye look with lots of black mascara on my top and bottom lashes for major definition.

The combination of shimmery champagnes, matte mediums and dark smoky taupes is so flattering and easy to wear.

Try adding brown eyeliner on your upper and lower lash lines to make green or blue eyes pop even more.

Peach Cheeks

A pop of peach blush brightens the complexion so nicely with a sage green dress.

The warm rosy tone flatters most skin types and adds the perfect natural looking flush.

I smile and apply the peach powder blush to the apples of my cheeks using a big fluffy brush, then sweep it back toward my hairline to blend.

Peach blush looks amazing on both fair and dark complexions since it has a mix of pink and gold tones.

Focus the blush on the tops of your cheekbones for a sculpted glow.

If you want extra shimmer, try a peach blush with a subtle golden sheen to make your skin radiant.

The key is blending the blush up and out so there are no harsh lines – I like to use light, circular motions.

Finish by lightly dusting the peach blush across my nose and chin for an all-over warmth.

Berry Lips

Vibrant berry lip colors pair so perfectly with green for a fun pop of color.

I love trying moisturizing berry lipsticks and stains in shades that make me feel confident and fierce.

With a bold berry lip, I keep the rest of my makeup neutral to let my lips steal the show – just groomed brows, champagne shimmer eyeshadow and mascara.

To prevent feathering, I always line my lips first with a matching berry liner before applying the lip color.

Blotting and reapplying my berry lipstick helps it last for hours without drying out my lips.

Berry tones with cool-blue undertones are especially gorgeous against the green dress.

If you’re new to bold lips, start with a berry tinted balm that’s more sheer before working up to highly pigmented lipstick.

Rosy Bronzer

I love warming up my complexion with a rosy-toned bronzer that has a subtle sheen to it when I’m wearing my sage green dress.

Sweeping the bronzer along my forehead, cheeks and jawline mimics that naturally radiant, sun-kissed glow.

The hint of shimmer and pinkish tone of a rosy bronzer pairs so nicely with the earthy green dress.

Using a large, fluffy brush, I buff the bronzer into my skin using circular motions to evenly blend it.

Focusing the rosy bronzer on the high points of my face – cheekbones, temples, nose, chin – gives dimension.

If you have fair skin, use a light hand with bronzer to avoid looking muddy or orange.

I like to do my bronzer before blush so I can see where I naturally need that extra warmth and color.

Go for a matte bronzer if you want a more subtle, contoured effect without the shimmer.

Copper Eyeshadow

Coppery bronze eyeshadow is absolutely gorgeous with sage green because it reflects the earthy warmth so nicely.

I’ll sweep a shiny metallic copper shade all over my lid up to my crease for major impact.

Blending the edges with a neutral brown ensures the copper isn’t too harsh against my sage dress.

Using a matching copper liner on my lower lash line helps tie the copper lid and sage green together.

I like to highlight my inner corners with the same copper shadow to open up my eyes.

If you have hazel or brown eyes, copper shadow makes them glow against the cool green.

For more subtle daytime wear, try a copper shimmer with micro-sparkle instead of metallic shine.

Copper eye looks are especially perfect for fall when sage green is everywhere – it feels very earthy and warm.

Plum Lipstick

Rich plum lipstick pairs so elegantly with an earth-toned sage dress for instant glamour.

I’ll line and fill in my lips completely with a blue-based plum lipstick for maximum drama.

Blotting and reapplying helps the bold plum color last for hours without drying out my lips.

To balance the striking lip, I go light on the eyes – groomed brows, neutral shadow and mascara.

Make sure to use a lip brush for the cleanest application with the deepest plum pigment.

For extra long-wear, dust plum colored powder shadow over lipstick to set it in place.

If you’re wearing plum lips, be sure to check for any smudging after eating or drinking.

Dark plum lipstick can make teeth look yellow, so whitening strips help brighten your smile.

Neutral Nails

I like to let my sage green dress stand out by keeping my nails simple and neutral.

My go-to is a short rounded shape in a beige, pale pink or milky nude polish.

Neutral nails allow the vibrant green color of my dress take center stage.

I’ll use a strengthening base coat first, then two thin coats of nude polish for an opaque look.

Topping it off with a fast-drying clear top coat helps my neutral mani last for a week without chipping.

A sheer sand beige is perfect for daytime while a creamy white-based nude works for night.

If I want some shine, I’ll do a top coat with subtle iridescence to catch the light.

Simple polished nails let your gorgeous sage dress be the star – no competing colors.

Cat Eye Liner

I love making my eyes bold and sultry with cat eye liner paired with my sage green dress.

Using a matte black liquid liner, I’ll draw the winged shape extending from my outer corners up towards my temples.

Starting with small strokes lets me gradually build up to the perfect dramatic cat eye.

I’ll trace over the black liner with an angled brush to softly blend and smudge it for a smoky effect.

Pairing a bold cat eye with neutral shadow and voluminous lashes creates an effortlessly glam vibe.

For a twist, try doing your cat eye in espresso brown rather than black for a softer daytime look.

Doing my cat eye with eyes open ensures the angle and shape perfectly complements my eye.

Set the liner with matching dark shadow to make sure my cat eye lasts all evening without fading or running.

Sparkling Highlighter

A champagne or opal highlighter adds the most gorgeous glow to my cheekbones with a sage dress.

I’ll concentrate the super fine shimmery powder on the tops of my cheekbones and brow bones.

This draws light right to my face and creates such a luminous, radiant complexion.

Be sure to blend the highlighter edges for a natural lit-from-within look.

I also love highlighting my inner eye corners and cupid’s bow with the same shimmery shade.

Using a setting spray after highlighter helps it last all night without fading.

For photos, amp up your highlighter a bit more since it won’t be as intense with flash.

Too much highlighter can look greasy so remember – less is more for a gorgeous subtle glow.

Matte Red Lip

Nothing makes a statement like a fiery matte red lip paired with a sage green dress.

I’ll line and fill in my lips completely with a rich blue-based cherry red lipstick.

Setting the matte red lip with a matching colored powder ensures it lasts for hours without transferring.

To let my bold lips do the talking, I’ll keep eyes simple with groomed brows, neutral shadow and mascara only.

Blotting and reapplying the red throughout the night prevents it from drying out my lips.

Make sure teeth are pearly white before rocking crimson lips – whiteners really help brighten your smile.

Don’t be afraid to rock a matte red pout – just exude confidence and own it!

Forest Green Liner

Lining my upper lash line with a deep forest green liner makes my green eyes mesmerizing with a sage dress.

I’ll apply the liner in short strokes as close to the upper lashes as possible, starting thin inner corners and getting thicker moving outward.

Smudging the forest green liner with a brush blends it for a sexy, smoked-out effect.

Pairing the green liner with earth-toned shadow and tons of mascara completes the sultry emerald eye look.

Make sure your green liner is waterproof so it wears like iron and won’t run if eyes water.

For brown eyes, green liner makes them appear warmer and more hazel-colored for extra pop.

If the forest green is too bold, try a navy liner for the same smoky intensity but more subtle.

Glossy Pink Lips

Glossy pink lips complete the feminine charm of a flowy sage dress for a romantic vibe.

I’ll use a super hydrating sheer pink gloss with a hint of shimmer for maximum moisture.

Applying a few coats gives me those full, glassy glossy lips that dazzle.

I have to check my mirror more often for touch-ups but it’s worth it for the perfect pout.

Make sure to use a gloss with a doe-foot applicator for precise application every time.

I like to finish my glossy pink lip look by highlighting my cupid’s bow with the same gloss to make my lips look extra plump.

If your gloss starts to wander outside your lip line, use a little concealer around your lips to clean it up.

Glossy lips may not last as long as lipstick but they feel amazing and give that youthful, dewy finish.

Keep some gloss in your clutch for quick touch ups after eating or drinking throughout the night.

Using lip scrub and balm first ensures my lips are super smooth so the gloss glides evenly.

Go for warmer pinks with a hint of coral if you have olive skin tones to make your complexion glow.

The wet shine of glossy lips should be your focus so keep the rest of your makeup more minimal.

Finish the glossy lip look with setting spray so the shine lasts as long as possible before needing touch ups.

Glossy pink lips are such a fun, flirty way to accent your sage dress for any occasion from day to night.
