I have dark brown hair, olive skin, and hazel eyes (more brownish than green).
I'm going to a wedding tonight and wearing a black dress.

you should go for the gray tones - you can pull it off with you hair. Just dont' cake it on, and make sure that there is a bit of sublte shimmer. With mascara, it'll look very classy with the black dress.

I would start with a pink base all over the lid. Next contoure in the brow and at the lash line with a golden cream. Then really close to the cream apply a minimum of green. Finally in the crease and at the corner of the lash like work with a dark brown or black.
These should really bring our the color and shape of your eyes.

If you eyes are: Hazel
Try: Deep green and pale yellow. Depending on your mood, choose a shadow shade that matches different flecks in your eyes. For a twist, apply shadow, then line eyes with the same color, using a liner brush dipped in water.
Anyone-Can-Wear-'Em-Shades: Charcoal, chocolate, black. (Tip: Since they can look heavy on the lid, use these colors as liners to complement any shadow hue

For an evening wedding you can go for a classic look...which will look good with your coloring. A nice light (champagn color or gold)...think warm color. Then use a black eyeliner (liquid would be best) on upper lids only. Black Mascara.....a warm blush..more red tone...and a red town lipstick.

Try purples, they really make brown eyes "pop". A darker purple on the lid and a lighter "pinky-purple" nearer the brow. And even try a dark purple eyeliner. If you're not up for purple, then go with neutral shades like browns and earthy tones. I hope that helps.

ok here are some eyeshaddow colors that have different effects on hazel eyes:
plum.... deepens, acentuates
charcoal....makes eyes seem greener
brown......brings out brown or gold
deep blue..... makes green seem clearer
pink..........brightens effect of the green
since it is a night wedding, i think you should go for a dramatic look...dark brown or charcoal with plum accents/highlights.
good luck<3

It depends...is your skin warm or cool?
If its warm (more yellowish) - then I would go with cooler deeper colors
If its cool (more bluish) - then I would go wtih warm colors
If you do the opposites, it complements your skin really nicely, but you should do a smoky look..it looks good on EVERYONE!
I usually just try to wear the color that matches my outfit, but I know pinks and browns always look great on anything

be wary of pink. red tones don't compliment beautiful olive skin!
i would go with a dark brown eyeliner. gold eyeshadow would be gorgeous, but if you want to go suble with your eyes, try earth tones. blue eyeshadow is also an option, but be careful of the color. anything that has a warm tone to it will suit you. just go with your mood!

I agree with mama and hippiechick. I have similar coloring to yours and those colors look warm and natural on me. Grays/blacks are cool and less pleasant.
Just don't wear baby blue eyeshadow. I am petitioning Congress to have it officially outlawed.

Not everyone should wear eyeshadow.If you wear it you might wanna practice putting it on before going out in front of people.For your tone and hair color I say use a silver shimmer.
