Are my eyes green?

[ems137]

I've always said/thought my eyes are green but now I'm not sure. DS has very bright green eyes and mine seem a lot darker. Are they green or are they actually hazel?

I don't wear make up because I've never known what colours suit my eye colour. I don't really wear a lot of coloured clothing either so don't have a clue what might suit me. I just want to start smartening up a bit and spending more effort on clothes and my appearance.

I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions please. I don't have lots of money so can't afford high end designers but could afford a couple of "key pieces"

My eyes have an yellow/orange Centre but you can’t see that in my pics at all

Khaki and purple are the two best colours on me

What colour would you all say my eyes are?I never know whether they're green, blue or grey I tend to just call them bluey-green

In a different light

Neurotrash, yours are like mine. Hazel but at the khaki end of the spectrum

Thanks don!

Pivot- hazel blue? Or a type of hazel
Grey? Tricky!

Neuro oh I like that I have never even considered hazel before. Does that mean there is also a hint of brown in my eyes another colour to add to the confusion

I can see some brown; I don't know if that makes them hazel or a bit mixed up!

So there is I have honestly never noticed that before . So I have a mixture of blue, green, brown and grey. I have decided i don't have an eye colour

Showed dh my pic and asked him what the colour was of the eye - he said hazel. Was surprised it was my eye as he was convinced I had brown eyes. I think I did have browner eyes when younger and they've changed (which google says can happen.)

Wow @Life, your eyes are a gorgeous colour!

Pivot I saw someone describing their eyes as hazel grey during google search so perhaps that's you? You can choose what colour to bring out!

Hazel

Neuro you have solved it these are almost identical to mine except mine have a dark (black?) outline.

There's different shades of green eyes just as there's lots of different shades of blue eyes.

If you want to bring out the green more, I recommend amber/burgundy/warm earth toned eyeshadows (not brown, they echo hollows and shadows on the face and/or make you look ill. Brown tones look great with blue eyes though). Maybelline do a Burgundy palette and also a blushed nudes (for lighter shades along the same colour theme). L'Oreal do a Cheri Mon Cheri palette with lots of burnt oranges, ambers etc but they are a little brighter overall. The Maybelline palettes are good value for trying out different shades and they last well, I find.

^ Sorry, it's called Cherry My Cheri.

I thought mine were grey green. Your's are definitely green. I was told mine are blue. However mine change with what eye make up I wear. With strong mauves mine become turquoise.
