Prior to colors, I am going to give you tips I learned from our makeup artist. This is if you think you have smaller eyes, and want to make them appear to be larger. First off, you want to avoid really dark shadows on the lid because it tends to close in the eye. Highlight your lid to help bring out your eyes and open them up. Contour the crease and above to direct focus to your eyes. Define around your eyes right at the lashline to bring them out. Well-defined, curled lashes will work really well to help open up small eyes. To really open them up, to give the illusion of appearing larger, you can apply white or beige eyeliner around the inside of the eyes. (Sometimes referred to as the "wet tissue".)
I am hoping those tips help..they are all kind of clumped together.
Now as far as eyeshadow colors for green eyes:
Some people will suggest using tons of green, but I disagree. Use a shimmery white or pink as your highlight color. You could even use a shimmery off white or tan.
In the crease you should use browns (try different shades), golds, bronze colors, violet colors. Of course you can try various shades of these colors.
On your lid, keep in mind becasue your eyes are small, you will want to you another highlighter color...not the same one you used up at the brow bone.
Eyeliner Colors: Any of the following colors will work with your eye color, you be the judges as to when they work best with the colors you have chosen. Sable (dark brown), Bronze, Violet, Plum, or Charcoal.
And then of course mascara!!
For application tips you can visit http://www.marykay.com where you can do a virtual makeover. You put in your eye colors, hair color, skin tone, the setting of your eyes, yada yada...and they give you tips of application. You can print it out and just have fun with it. Hope this helps some. Good Luck and have fun!!

The more eyeliner you have on, the bigger your eyes will look. I think that darker eyeshadows make eyes look bigger and more pretty.

Try Amlay Intense i-color for green eyes. I would have put the link for the Almay website up but it's down. I have green eyes too and I use it. I'm wearing it right now actually. It's dark green, light green and purple eyeshadow, green mascara and a rasin-colored eyeliner. Purple makes green eyes stand out.

use volumizing mascara on your top and bottom lashes. THen curl your top eyelashes. for eyeshadow use a light color and put a dab of white sparkley eyeshadow in the inside corner of your eyes. THis is the way i make my eyes stand out. DO not use eye liner. although it works for some people..all it does is close up my eyes.

i have green eyes too. The best colours that work on me to make my eyes bigger is green. It really pops your eyes out especially the way i do it. I shade a dark green, light then reallly light.

A nicely shaped eyebrow is the base for great eyes. go to a salon and get your eyebrows waxed by a pro. when the hairs start growing back in, just pluck them. then a couple of coats of mascara.
also, using a shimmery powder, dust it right under the brow and near the tear duct. it really opens up your eyes.
i think maybe a lavender or deep plum would be nice for your eyes. Good Luck!

I have to agree with LedZep. Use the Almay. They have the whole section for green eyes. It's wonderful. My eyes are hazel, so I buy both the green set and the hazel set. You won't believe the difference it will make! My eyes are slightly big with long eye lashes, and when I use this stuff, it just makes them more noticeable, and very green/hazel! Trust me, you won't be let down.

Try a sparkly goldish one. I use Urban Decay "Midnight Cowgirl" (you can buy on sephora.com), it's really sparkly and makes my blue eyes pop.
Curl your lashes and wear mascara, that's the biggest thing.
Put light eyeshadow on the inner corners of your eyes, makes you look more awake.
