I always heard that you arent supposed to use eye shadow the same color as your eye color, instead use contrasting or opposite colors of the spectrum. I think for green eyes a bronze color or plum like MAC's star violet would look awesome for you:icon_love it's worth the investment for a nice shade
That's what I've always heard too, that you should use contrasting colors. I have blue eyes, and their e/s for blue eyes includes browns which are good contrasting colors, but also blues, and I just can't see how that would work, even looking at the sample applications on the package. Actually I thought the brown and blue shadows looked kind of weird together anyway.
In fact, when I looked at the model on the package, she had the brightest blue eyes I have ever seen, they almost looked turquoise -- she must have been wearing contacts, or the picture must have been touched up, or something -- I've never seen anyone with eyes like that! There's no way my eyes would ever look like that!
