Green eyed ladies... come on in
what colors do you use on your eyes? (shadows, liner, etc)
the colors I mostly use are in the brown family, I would like some new ideas.

Re: Green eyed ladies... come on in
I saw the Almay collection "bring out the green" or something like that. the collection has GREEN eye shadow  but it has a plum color in there too.... I wonder if that makes the eye color pop  I noticed that Carmendie on "what not to wear" puts plum colors on women w/green eyes.

the BEST color for bringing out green eyes is purple!
I use purple eyeliner and it ROCKS

I heard that wearing green with green eyes doesn't really DO anything for them
i do wear it from time to time but if you want your green eye to show...never wear green...it only blends in

Re: Green eyed ladies... come on in
i've read in many magazines that plum eye shadows bring out the green
i have greenish/hazel eyes- when i wear MAC Haux eye shadow the green really comes out

Re: Green eyed ladies... come on in
I use browns too- but I have heard over and over that with green eyes, purples look great, I am just not risky enough I guess, But I love the look

Re: Green eyed ladies... come on in
a Bobbi Brown makeup artist told me to be careful with using purples b/c they can often bring attention to the purple hues under your eyes.

Re: Green eyed ladies... come on in
I think I am going to try this set from BE 
Johnsae - that is a good point! so if I use the plum colors, I will make sure to use eye concealer

Re: Green eyed ladies... come on in
I have hazel eyes and I have the best outcome with browns. Everything else looks kinda funny on me, or it just doesnt flatter.
I would try the purple but I have such dark circles under my eyes I dont know if it would look right.

Re: Green eyed ladies... come on in
D - as you know I have hazel eyes that go more towards the green color most of the time.
The ONLY shadows I use are in the purple, plum, etc. families. That's it.
Eyeliner (if I wear it) is brown. Mascara always black.

Re: Green eyed ladies... come on in
I am always for different eye makeup to bring out my eye color - purples are nice but tey can be tough to find the right shade - I like gray though

Re: Green eyed ladies... come on in
Today I'm wearing blue on the lids, teal in crease and along lash line and purple (light) by brows. It's smoky but brings out the green.
I'll do browns, plums, greens, and a burgandy liner.

i have hazely green eyes
Me too and whe I wear shadow I use a plum or a wine color...sometimes I'll play around with a copper color.
ETA - of the three colors the wine color makes the green pop out the most.

Re: Green eyed ladies... come on in
Just saw this on Sephora's site. It's from Pop Beauty, and their stuff can be a bit too sparkly for me so it might be worth looking at in person, if you're interested. I am a ho for eyeshadows, especially when they come packaged like this.

Actually, I think we all could pull it off- if we were still 13.

I'm not a fan of these multi color pallets... I would rather buy only the colors that I would use.
I used to LOVE the pallets when I was in HS b/c I could get away with blue or green eyeshadow back then
