What colour are my eyes?

Or eye in this case Grin I struggle to find eye shadow that brings out my eyes they look grey when my makeup is on Confused. This is in bright light hence the ghostly skin!

Use purple eye shadow.

Lemonsmakelemonade · 01/06/2018 21:15

Blue grey but your middle looks brown - have you tried green eye shadow?

Lemonsmakelemonade · 01/06/2018 21:16

Yes purple too!

rightknockered · 01/06/2018 21:17

Copper would also look lovely, I think, but not an eyeshadow expert at all and usually just sweep a nude colour over lid up to brow with a bit of kohl smudged on lash line.
your eyes are khaki coloured

Cantcarryonforever · 01/06/2018 21:21

I tend to go for nudes and coppers.

Ooh purple and green! I do actually have a pallete with these from a beauty box I will have a mess around this weekend.

They are a bit darker than my green eyes but still green. Mine are deep set though so I use light shades. I'd go for purples and navy blue

ineedmorelaundrybaskets · 01/06/2018 22:43

Dark grey, gold and
purple... I just googled as I have similar eye colour

Processedpea · 01/06/2018 22:44

dark gold, they are lovely colour lucky you!

Processedpea · 01/06/2018 22:45

i mean dark gold would be a good colour, nars kyoto

IwankaTramp · 02/06/2018 00:32

They look similar to my eyes and have been called blue hazel.

Mac Brule for a subtle look and a shimmering violet when I want the colour to stand out more works for mine.

obsessedpoas · 02/06/2018 00:36

Your eyes are green and damn beauties too! I've got brown in the centre of my eyes and outer but green in the middle and mine are hazel so would deff say yours are a very unusual and rare green! Love looking at the different eye colours of the world!

obsessedpoas · 02/06/2018 00:36

Sorry posted too soon..... purples will
Look incredible mixed with golds !!

Gorgeous is the colour

ColinsVeryJolly · 02/06/2018 01:12

Your eyes are just like mine.

I recently coloured my hair a copper colour thinking it would make the green pop but it hasn’t really worked so I’m following this thread to see what eye shadow colours would work for me.

What colour are my eyes?
Scabetty · 02/06/2018 08:17

Golds, khakis and bronzes.

Cantcarryonforever · 02/06/2018 10:31

Thanks you lovely lot.

Funnily enough I was born with green eyes and black hair, which was enough to convince my nan that gypsies had left me on the doorstep and my parents had taken me in Hmm but now I'm quite fair and my eyes are a lot lighter. They only go bright green when I cry, which is annoying. Colin do yours do that?

ColinsVeryJolly · 02/06/2018 13:43

Yes! They go a gorgeous colour when I cry, almost jade green.

Pity that the puffy, bright red face and snotty nose diminish the gorgeousness Grin

BusterGonad · 02/06/2018 13:56

I'd wear antique gold with those colour eyes Op.

marcopront · 02/06/2018 14:08

Do your eyes change colour?

MistAmougstElephants · 02/06/2018 15:14

My eyes are simular sort of blue, gray, green no hazelness like yours though. I get aqua green eyes when I cry. So pretty shame I'm blotchy with it Grin

Second purple colours, bronze tones work well too, also try green! Those shades bring colour back into my eyes, whereas everything else makes them grey.

MsJinglyJones · 02/06/2018 16:59

Ooh mine are similar, grey/green/blue with tiny brown bits. My DD says they're blue, I say grey, but with the some eyeshadows they look more green.

I was going to say purple eyeshadow and saw it's the first reply you got! I love pinks and purples - pinky or reddish purples that aren't too dark. I also like using shimmery gold, on its own, with mascara and a bit of dark grey eyeliner on the outside edges.

Mine also look greener when I henna my (dark) hair so it's a coppery dark red.

eloisesparkle · 02/06/2018 20:22

Can'tcarry
My eyes go really green when I cry too.
A really lovely shade but not a good look- it must be the red rims bringing out the green.

RoseWhiteTips · 02/06/2018 20:56

Green. Mine are green too: a sea green outer rim, light, almost leaf green next and a gold zigzagging shape around the pupil.

Green shadows work best for me. Purple is too much.

EliseC1965 · 02/06/2018 21:23

Mine change colour as well. Sorry about the blur. Didn’t realise my wrinkles were so wrinkly either. I have brown freckles in them and when I get emotional; angry or upset, the brown bits get bigger. Otherwise they’re just sort of muddy puddle colour.

What colour are my eyes?
SirVixofVixHall · 02/06/2018 21:27

Green. Have a look at the Charlotte Tilbury colour chameleon eye pencils , they do two or three colours for each eye colour. They are really flattering and easy to use.
