Hummm...good. I have also found that green shadow generally does not work with green eyes. It's a shame...green is one of my favorite colors actually. :)
I will hazard a guess that green/purple therefore is out with anyone with any green in their eyes.
Leaving us...orange/purple, pink/purple, possibly green/red.
I'm doing a version of that Nars "Heaven" duo with Samoa Silk and Swish. Swish really is not right...it's shimmery so if you use a lot of it all you get is this generic pinkish shimmer. A little bit though, works well with the S.S. In short I think orange/pink is another good green eye popper.
I somehow suspect that "Arctic" duo would work as well. It's...a weird duo. It's the one with grey and a sort of odd deep red. I'm guessing the grey softens the red and makes it more of a "shadow" look than a "someone capped me in the eye" look. ? :)
Ireland (the pink and green)...my bets are that it's the thing for brown eyes.
I suppose I am less interested in the more neutral duos. You can find neutrals all over the place; there's less art involved.
Lessee (I'm going on the pics, we have no Nars counter anywhere near here)...Elsa is the pink/purple.
Rebecca...orange and green. Well, brownish-orange and green. I would guess...it would make yours eyes look...purple. Maybe not purple. It would make them look blue. That would be a cool thing to try out.
Anyhow...I for one have completely gone out of my lipstick phase. I have full lips and...sometimes less is more. :) I have observed that models and actresses with full lips, have a tendency to go with unobtrusive lip colors. Strong colors imo look best with small, well-shaped lips.
Hence I've been narrowing my lippy collection down over the months...years actually. All I've been wearing, since I got it, is MAC Jubilee. It's just the thing...and I've been fiddling around with the "two contrasting eye colors" theory.
What's crappy is how few lower-end shadows are any good. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head...Sonia Kashuk and Milani. The SK's vary too in their staying power. Milani I haven't really tried. I might scope out their green or orange shadows some time.
