Green eyes and mauve/purple eyeshadow??

[HuwEdwards]

does this work? Have always used, golds/browns/greens, but saw this 'advice' in a magazine recently.

Surely eyes just look bruised?

Purple very much recommended for green eyes, that and blacks whites and greys. Brown is, I've recently been told, a no no.

grey??

black??

oh def do white, makes the ole peepers look bigger

Yep, green eyes and purple eye make up is a stunning combination.

purple is vg with green eyes, they don't look bruised at all. i like this

Yup.

Have green eyes - recently got a freebie quad eye shadow from boots - purple/lilac/spakrkly and they look lovely.

Will try and find

Yup. My friend had her colours done and we both have green eyes. Have since started using a purple eyeshadow and also a set with silver-grey, white and black for around the eye socket IYSWIM. Have had unsolicited compliments, so it must be ok. But I know it sounds a bit odd. Sparkly silver looks good, too. My friend and I both have dark hair and pale skin, if that has any bearing.

hmmm, maybe I should try

Y'see I had my colours done, tho not eye make up, was clothes and lippy (and she was def right about lippy, had been wearing wrong colours for decades) and grey and black as clothing colours are complete no-no's.

Maybe you have a slighlty different complexion. But I would definitley try the purple and the silver. The clothes colours she had varied quite a lot. Maybe go to Bobby Browns counter or Prescriptives and ask them?

ok purple and silver will be purchased. will let you know!
