What colour eyeliner/ shadow for green/ hazel eyes?

I like bright colours, but green looks weird.

Currently still doing the black eyeliner/ black mascara/ brown eyeshadow BORINGNESS that I have been doing forever.

Hair is bright red.

Any ideas?

Purple can look cool

Rats I was just gonna say purple! Bronze looks great, as does silvery grey.

Ooh, purple. That could work. Silver/ greys look to hard or something, I don't suit them. Will have to try bronze, never thought of that at all.

Definitely purple - have a look at Urban Decay, they do an eyeliner & an eyeshadow that I use a lot and always get compliments on.

What colour hair/skin do you have? I was going to suggest grey or silver as well. I use an Aldi duo currently which really brings out the green in my hazel eyes.

Burgundy/grape/blackcurrant type colours look lovely too.

I'm naturally dark blonde, but I dye it (real red from Live). I'm freckly but sallow (trying to think of a nice way to say sallow - not pink? LOL)

I have green eyes and wear a dark indigo blue from MAC called blooz. I am classed a 'winter' from House of Colour. I have dark brown hair and quite pale skin. Oh and very dark eyelashes!

I have a very dark blue eyeshadow by bourjois which I like very much.

I have hazel eyes too - I think you can get away with many colours.
Purple looks great, I have a green one but use it under eye rather than on my top lids, its a bit too bright otherwise.
Generally for daytime I use a sort of silvery brown - real cheapy one from Tesco I think. Looks nice, but is quite subtle.
bronze/gold colours contrast nicely with hazel/green eyes.
I bought some blue eyeliner a while ago - looked awful.

I have green eyes, very dark hair and lightly tanned skin.

I find navy looks good for everyday.

Aubergine, bronze and darker golds enhance the green.

Silver and greys look nice too.

I also wear a peacock colour for nights out, although I wouldn't say it enhances the colour of my eyes.

I always wear black mascara too.
