I have blueish greenish gray eyes, but they're changing constantly.

It is always tempting to try and match your makeup to the predominate color of the clothing worn. But, as many of the answers rightly suggest you should use your skin tone and hair color to determine your makeup colors. I suggest using bight colors sparingly during daytime hours. Concentrate on more natural tones forr you everyday look.
I like to blend two colors such as brown with a touch of green for accenting my brown eyes. But your changing eye color means you could use a variety of accent colors. I suggest trying a soft sable brown near your eyelashes and a soft meadow green to highlight above the crease. If you are wearing shades that make your eyes appear bluer, don't use blue eye shadow, but a bluish or lavender grey and dark smokey charcoal color near your eye lashes and blend softly.
I love the feel and long lasting qualities of the Bare Essential product line. They have fabulous eye shadows that can also be applied in a thin line with a wet eyeliner brush. Use a light touch for a natural day time look. Darker grey smudged color , perhaps a metallic or sparkly grey and a silver eyeliner for a sultry night time look .
I'll bet you your eyes are lovely without makeup, and using a light touch you can enhance and emphasize this feature.

It would be nice to enhance the color you'd like to be showing the most that day. Use gray shadows to show off the gray in your eyes... etc... match it up with a complimentary clothing color. You have a lot of room to play having more than one color in your eyes... have fun with it! Buy some shadows and try them out, if you can afford to do so.

Generally, you wanna use something that is opposite of your eye color. So if they're on the blue side, use a bronzy or brown shadow. If they're on the green side, use plums.
green and purple, blue and orange 9which tanslates to brown in makeup) are complementary colors on the color wheel. When placed next to each other, they make the other stand out more, so that's what those colors will do for your eyes.

anytime you are having trouble figuring out the best eyeshadow.....go with neutral otherwise know as earth tones. then you Can use a color just to line around your eyes to just set them off. Almay has also come out with a line of shadows that are suppose to be color coordinated to your eye color.....I have not actually bought any.....I have only seen it. If none of this help you out, then head out to a salon that has a makeup artist, or even a Mary-Kay person, or the makeup counter at the local mall, they will be glad to help you out.

Stick to earth tones, pink, blue, green would look great. I'm thinking more of an earthy green blue duo. Also gold and silver eye liner would give it a real nice touch.

I always find that shades of brown used to highlight the brow bone always look good and make you look younger than using a coloured eyeshadow. This wouldn't matter if your eyes changed. Mine change with what colour top I'm wearing.

I'd stay away from blue, green or anything flashy...let the beauty of your eyes be the focus on their own...how about just something natural?
Like what Bobbi Brown usually suggests?

Avoid greens and blues because people will notice the makeup instead of your eyes. You want to use shadow that will make your eyes POP not over shadow them. Browns and Golds will make our eyes POP.

what do you mean they're changing constantly. are you using contact lenses? if so, i suggest gray eyeshadow because it would helps create a smoky effect to most eye colors.

well, first great job on knowing you match your eyes not your outfit...
second it also depends on your skin tone.. so I can't help much but I can tell you this golds go for everyone and bronzes but there used for partys going out night things generally.. so like i said it depends on your eye color and skin tone... you could go to macys or dillards and the makeup section will show you for free.
