Since purple is the opposite of green on the color wheel, shades with purplish or reddish undertones will provide greater contrast and make the green more evident in your eye color. Purple-toned shadows will bring out the gorgeous hints of green in your eye color, so play around with those as much as you like. Alternately, for a smoky, nighttime overshadow look, use black liner along the top and bottom, smudged out with black shadow, then line the waterline with black. Pair the shadows with black, charcoal grey, or deep plum liner on top (and under the lower lashes if you prefer) and line the waterline with white for an innocent, wide-eyed look. These will accentuate the cool grey tones. If you want more of a girl-next-door wide-eyed look or even a subtle, sexy smoky look, try: The light-reflecting finish on the metallic shades will take the drama a step further. The warmth of these shades will contrast with not only the blue but also the coolness of the grey in your eyes. There's almost no right or wrong color for blue-grey eyes. More neutral colors are ideal for daytime, but it's always fun to wear purple no matter what the time or season. A lighter lavender above the crease will give you a more dramatic look for evenings. You can use violet on the creases of your eyelids as well as on the lid in general. Brunettes may love them too, though, so don't rule them out right away if you have dark hair. This is because a light purple is flattering for most blondes with fair skin.

Violets and lavenders are most recommended for women with a combination of baby blues and blonde hair. Just be careful not to overdo these bright hues. For women with blue eyes that have a touch of green or hazel, teal shades can bring out that green tint for a fresh look. Turquoise and teal shades can also work for blue eyes. Some women find that using a dark shade of blue will actually bring out the more natural blue tones in the eyes, creating a brighter and more vibrant look. Many women with blue eyes also look fabulous with cool eye shadow shades.
