green eyes? I'M JEALOUS ALREADY! Hon, almost any colour will look terrific! Just remember, not too heavy, accent the eyes, don't hide them! Eyeshadow is "window dressing" not paint! GL

Try not to wear colors that are the same as your eye color as it drowns out your eyes. Enhance them with soft browns, then maybe work with a green eyeliner. Cover your lid with a soft beige or a soft white, take it up to the brow line. Put a darker brown on the outer corner of your eyelid, and a soft brown on the inside towards your nose.
Hope that helps a little if at all.

Try Brown or light blue. Almost anything looks good with green eyes.

All light shades of brown look great as long as you highlight the outside edge and right above the top lashes with some shade of green or aqua.

If you want, check www.sephora.com. It is a wonderful cosmetic web site. In the eye-shadow section, there are many palettes specificaly designed by eye colour. It's what I do if I have a question!

Colors are not for 40 year olds, but brown goes great with green eyes.

Subtle plums and browns bring out green eyes really well.
