Green Color Eyes
If you have green or hazel eyes then you should brighten these lovely eyes with the shades such as brown, apricot, purple, plum, deep khaki or forest green.
In order to have that ultra-modern look you should use gold, lime-green, light green or bright purple shades.
Violet or purple liners make hazel eyes stand out green.

I found this very helpful, it's from http://www.ehow.com.
Your eyes are the windows to your soul. Make them come alive with a touch of shadow on the lids.
Instructions
STEP 1: Shop for shades that complement your skin and eye color. Look for colors that softly contrast with the shade of your eyes - not colors that match them exactly. STEP 2: Choose simple, natural shades. If you opt for bright or trendy colors, be careful; they can look unnatural unless balanced with other suitable tones, and may go out of style as fast as they came in. STEP 3: Buy colors that blend well together. You want your eyes to attract the attention, not any marked lines caused by your shadow. STEP 4: Keep in mind that dark colors will minimize your eyes, while light shades will make them stand out. STEP 5: Consider soft browns and tans with sandy or pink undertones for blue eyes. STEP 6: Wear khaki and brown shades with yellow undertones for green eyes. STEP 7: Accent dark brown and black eyes with brown and charcoal shadows. STEP 8: Experiment. Head to a department store's cosmetic counter and have your eyes made up by a professional. Ask for color combinations that could work for day and evening. Tips & Warnings
A little color goes a long way. Begin with a little shadow, and gradually increase it to find the amount that flatters you the most.
Shadow can look a lot darker in its palette, so don't let color intensity keep you from trying a shade you like.
If you experiment with bright shadows, use them as a wash over the eyelids to add a hint of color.
Shadow may irritate your eyes, especially if you wear contact lenses. Tap excess powder from the applicator before applying.

Hope this helps you!

khaki colors or browns; opposite colors make your eyes pop. never put green eyeshadow on green eyes because it will dull your eye color. trust me. I have done many make-overs when I worked for Clarins and these are basic keys to bring out your eyes. play with different shades of brown and have alot of fun with it! hope that helps:) good luck!

Probably brown, pink, or turquoise they bring out the blue pigments in your eyes which makes people notice the green more. I know it sounds funky but I know I have blue eyes and I wanted to bring out the green so that is what I did....Good Luck!!!!

Browns and greens would look great on your green eyes.

Okay, I (usually.. they change) have green eyes and brown hair. I'm big on pink and brown eyeshadows, but really it sometimes depends on your skin color. If your really pale, you can wear those circus-bright colors, but if you're tan, you would look better in pinks. I really, really, really love silver eyeshadow, 'cause it makes my green eyes really glow.
