Hello.

What colour are these eyes, please?

A mix! Mine are a bit like this and I say green as that’s the colour round the outside, I think I’d say bluey overall about these. I think there’s a name for these kind of eyes that I learned on MN, I’m sure someone will mention it.

I've always thought of them as hazel, but I don't think they're green enough for that!

Heterochromia!

OP - I'd say they're blue-green. Beautiful eyes.

Thank you (I have another one exactly the same!) 😊

I've never heard of this before.

They are very unusual, blue green but with quite a bit of hazel.
I'd say they fairly unique.

My next question is - what eye shadow colour should I be using? 😆

I think Mac Teddy eye pencil would be fabulous.

But I'm not a make up artist.
Try it at the Mac counter.

@deeahgwitch I will, thank you 🙂

Honestly. 58 years old and I've only just found out my 'proper' eye colour 🙄

The neutral shades look good to emphasise the unusual eye colours

Agree with pp, beautiful eye colour. I'd try a dusky purple line over the top lid to bring out the green. NYX do a nice one.

I tend towards 'sludgy' colours anyway, such as greys, and browns with a hint of bronze. Not that I wear eyeshadow much, thanks to my droopy upper lids and my lack of skill in disguising them.

@Smellz714 Ooh, I've never tried purple! Thank you! 👍

I have no idea why, but to me they look more blue so I'd say blue.
They are clearly not just blue though (😂) and in fact a really lovely mix! ☺️
