Smoke green is a good one!

Juxt is fab. Humid is gorgeous, especially to line with. I loved Sprout but got a faulty pot and had to take it back and then couldn't get another one
What I would REALLY recommend though is a Clarins eyeshadow. It's got a terrible name, 'Groovy Green' but the colour and texture are amazing. Looks great with woodwinked, or humid for a smokey eye!

I think green eyeshadow looks unflattering on green eyes, tbh. I avoid it like the plague.

Some greens do look good on mine...Lancome's Blink e/s, and MAC's Forever Green powerpoint or Tarnish Kohl, for example...it's usually the muddier/darker ones. Greensmoke looks pretty good too, but I have problems with the glitter....wish they made something like that in a VP. I will try the other suggestions above. Thanks
What about Velvet Moss? I've never seen that one in person....

NC25 with blue/green(heavy on the green) eyes here.
I agree with the above, that some green colours can be absolutely GORGEOUS on me. Generally, the richer they are, the better they look. Also "hazel" eyeshadow colours look beautiful. I haven't seen any from MAC yet, but Merle Norman has one *called* Hazel that looks great on me. I have to say that my paler greens(like juxt and silly goose) don't look very good on me. ANYTHING with a copper/orange/peach base looks fab with the green in my eyes. The problem is generally finding one that's right for your skin, too, though.
The following are all MAC.
BEST:
-Twinks
-Amber Lights
-Soba
-Slip Pink
-Soft Brown
-Coppering
Also nice:
-Swiss Chocolate
-Cork
-Teal Pigment
-Naked Pigment
-Mangomix Shadestick
-Velvet Moss
-Coco Pigment

I should probably add that my ST Patricks Day FOTD is probably one of the prettiest looks I've had.
This is from the eye part of the fotd I posted:

-Merle Norman Supreme Mascara in Black-Brown
Yeah, Juxt and Silly Goose were in there, but they looked much better when mixed with the richness of Velvet Moss(it actually said "humid" in the post, but I meant to put VM, as I don't own humid. lol) and teal pigment. Even my husband complemented me on it, and he thinks makeup is silly.

I have swimming, steamy, aquadisiac, the warm holiday 2005 eyeshadow palette, all that glitters, and beautiful iris. They're all fairly flattering colors on me, but cranberry especially makes my eyes look green-er.  (Steamy makes my eyes look blue.) Teal, blue-brown, and rose pigments are also great.

Thanks Karen. Some of those look good on me too and others I haven't tried, but will check out. For some reason I can't get Soba to look good on me at all though. My "best" list includes Tempting (best of the best, lol), sable, mulch, era, haux, grain. Your FOTD sounds very pretty. I just ordered Velvet Moss the other day so I'll try something along those lines when I get it. Would love to hear how you like your Lucky Green once you get a chance to play with it!

Most of these girls have the same opinion as me. I have green eyes and I'm an NC15 and my favorite colors to wear are greens.
My faves are:
Fiction
Greensmoke
Humid
Femme Noir*
Juxt
Lustreleaf
Overgrown.

Mythology also flatters the mess out of green eyes, although it is not green

I love Femme Noir as well, but am too chicken to use it for anything but a liner, lol. What does Lustreleaf look like? I missed that one.
