Blue shadow on green eyes

Will it work?!

I have very dark green eyes and i wanted to try something different.
I got an Almay* e/s trio with pale blue, navy blue and bronze shadows... was thinking of using the pale blue on my lid, bronze in the crease and the navy to line?

Any thoughts?

*I really wanted MAC but thought i better get a cheap one to try it out incase it looks awful lol

What about turquoise/teal type shades? For some reason I imagine these looking really nice on someone with green eyes, though with the teal you'd want it to be more on the blue side than the green.

Navy or royal blues (think Royal Wink f/l) also sound like they could be pretty nice with green eyes.

Hmm i have Aquadisiac and Blue Absinthe.... i could give those a try.
The blues might look nice with the bronze shadow, will give it a try tonight and see how it goes!
I have Navy Stain PP so i'll dig that out too!

Blue with bronze - that sounds really nice too! Hope it goes well.

I have green eyes and I love Blue Absinthe, it is my fave. I also did a blue combo a few weeks ago, it turned out ok, I used teh HIP duo that is blue, like you, I didn't want to waste $!

Thanks for all the ideas!

Am thinking of using a neutral beige (maybe Soba or Era) on my lid with the bronze in the crease and the navy blue to line (the pale blue just looks icky, put some on in the loos in work lol)
Will report back tomorrow girls!

Depends on the shade of green - mine are olive green and they don't look good with baby blues. I go more towards the teal shades.

I have green eyes and believe I can wear just about any colour with some of the more tenuous ones (like blue) tending towards the warmer side of things. Try it out, and see how it goes! I like freshwater myself. I usually put it on the inner v, blended out into shimmermoss and then bronze towards the outer v.
