I'd definately pick up a purple eye shadow, like stars n rockets or parfait amour, or au contraire(if they still have it).
Swish is my favorite pink.

I second this. Purples will really bring out your green eyes so parfait amour would be perfect!

I have your coloring and I also recommend SNR. It's a duochrome pink that flashes green and purple. Makes my eyes really green.

I have alot of browns too!!! But I think the best pinks are. . . Pink Venus, Naked Lunch, Phloof!, Sunday Best + Sweet Lust! And also If you blend Pink Venus + Sunday Best together it makes an awesome color!!!

Another thing. . . If you have alot of purples a good color to add to your collection is Vellum!!! It appears white but the more you rub on it, it turns a irridescent purple!!! Its one of my favorites!

For pinks, my favorite will always be Swish, but if you're in the mood for a lighter/softer pink, check out Da Bling. It's a velux pearl formula, which I'm a big fan of, and just plain pretty on.

I reccommend gleam its light beige with pink frost so the beige will bring out the more ambery tones in your eyes but the pink shimmer will create a nice contrast

Another great staple for green eyes (I have them too) is Antiqued - it is a brown with a reddish bronze tone to it and it is so flattering!
