Eyeliner for green eyes?

I normally just use brown eyeliner (MAC in Teddy) but can anyone recommend any other colours that compliment green eyes?
Thank you

Purple is gorgeous, I use the Essence colour in Berlin rocks. I have a review of it here:

Look at a colour wheel and choose the colour that is opposite to your eye colour, that's the one that will contrast them most and make the colour really stand out

Try Orpheus from MAC, stunning bronze colour with gold flecks in it. Its gorgeous with green or blue eyes. Some shades of green can look really good too, sort of intensifies the natural green shades. Smokey greys can look good, but stay away from silver grey, it can look a bit wishy washy. Purples are stunning too, nearly every shade from lilac to deep Cadbury purple(my favourite colour

) suits green eyes. And dark navy blue, but I think that one depends on whether your eyes are true green or more of a hazel colour.

I'll have a look at Orpheus and I like the sound of navy for a darker look. Woo going on a beauty spending spree!! :cool:

I started using Mac's Prussian eye pencil a few weeks ago and love it, It's a really soft easy to use navy. It really enhances green eyes! I just use a fine line for day wear or go a bit more defined with a navy Mac shadow to seal it at night. I use purple eyeshadows too, love stila amethyst but it's not available anymore. Boo!
