Purples seem to be what I get the most compliments on.
I have hazel green eyes brown in the center.

Purples make my green eyes look like their jumping out of my head. Especially leisuretime and stars and rockets. When i don't wear purple e/s i wear purple mascara or red mascara. i know they sound funky but you can't really tell i'm wearing them cause i have dark lashes. I get the most compliments on my green eyes on a neutral eye with red mascara which is funny cause brown e/s usually makes my eyes look a dirty green.

I have blue/grey eyes and everything that has copper undertones in it, looks amazing on me!
Greens look pretty good on me too

Feels like black is the only color that makes my eyes pop, my eyes are bluish-greenish-grey. A little frustrating actually 'cause I'd love to wear lots of colors but it feels so pointless 'cause they do nothing but make me look like a clown.
I do like mauve-ish and light pink colors, they seem to be "my color", with black :]

I have dark brown eyes and very dark lashes, and I find dark green eyeshadows make my eyes pop. Funnily enough light greens and pastel colours look terrible on me and make my eyes look a funny shape. As does very metallic colours such as gold. Makes my chinese eyes look strange, does anyone else find this?
Since I discovered UD Mildew a couple of years ago, I wear this most days for work, it makes my eyes pop. The colour really suits me, it's dark enough to look like I've made an effort, but doesn't look OTT for work. Purples look ok, but green is my favourite.

My eyes are blue/green and the thing that makes them pop are any burgundy colors I use. Paired with a brown liner, I get the most compliments on my eyes with this combination.

i have brown eyes so definitely definitely purples.
i like kitschmas and parfait amour, with a little bit of golden lemon in the inner corner, and black tied to add definition in the crease and above the lashline.
add some blacktrack f/l to my lower waterline, add lots and lots of mascara, and voila! the look i get compliments on every time.
i like teals sometimes too, but that purple, almost smokey eye always does it for me, i've taken to wearing it to work and 2 out of 3 tables always compliment me on it!

I have dark brown eyes, and plum purples, metallic golds and silvers TOTALLY make my eyes look golder/browner/lighter.

I can't choose a single color or look that complements my eyes the best, but some that work really well for me (hazel eyes):
Shimmermoss + De Menthe
Satellite Dreams + Au Contraire
lighter green (Juxt/Sprout/Lucky Green) + Velvet Moss

I have blue-grey-green eyes, but I try to make the green stand out most.
The colours(all mac) that best do this for me so far are:
-Amber Lights e/s (this one does it best)
-Soba e/s
-Expensive Pink e/s(or any pink, really)
-Slip Pink e/s (the brown base in this pink really makes a difference between this and other pinks)
Oddly, my 2 newest eye kohls are the ones that do it best, too:
-Minted(gorgeous pure green)
-Power S | |
