For some reason the green/purple eyecombo just doesn't have the same "oomph" on me that the orange/purple does. Its nice, yes, but its doesn't have the "WOW" factor like the orange does. I wonder if its because my eyes have alot of green in them? The orange shadow contrasts against all the green whereas the green shadow blends in more with my eyes? Interesting to think about anyways.
The green/red eye combo got me thinking. Loooong ago, in a galaxy far, far away I used to be a Mary Kay consultant. *rolls eyes* Back then one of my favorite faces was to line my eyes with green and wear red lipstick. While sounding horribly christmasy, it was actually a good combo. The red lipstick contrasted nicely with the green liner and green of my eyes.
The right lipcolor can also bring out ones eyes. I've only had one lipstick that has done this, Almay One Coat in Mauve. That was one of my best lipstick colors ever. Boring color, boring name, boring line but, MAN, it was a good lipstick. My eyes looked like emeralds and my skin looked like cream when I wore it. It went bad on me and by the time I got around to replacing it it had been discontinued. Neutrogena Flirt lipgloss is aaaaaaalmost the same. Mauve was just maybe 2 hairs of a shade warmer than Flirt and that makes all the difference.
