Advice on Eyeshadow Color Scheme

I am mature, lol.  Have pretty silver greying almost black once upon a time hair, big green eyes, porcelain skin with pink tones.  Very Irish looking they say.  What color eyeshadows would work best on me do you think?

Purples, taupes and slate gray look great with my green eyes and black hair and pale skin. The right shade of green works too. Oh and burgundy wine colors.

I agree with @jaxs mom as I have dark hazel eyes and at times I can see some brown. Today, I spent the day with my son and I did an eye look with the Toofaced Peach Palette, which I used the peachy pink colors and it also made my hazel/brown eyes pop. While I know there are color to make my eye color stand out, I also do different color looks all the time. I use blues and greens and burgundy eyeshadows also. I love doing my eyes.

Re: Advice on Eyeshadow Color Scheme

Thanks so much for the ideas!  I went to Ulta and purchased the NakedBasics2, a cool grey palette, and a greyish oyster shimmer.  Watched several how to videos for hooded eyes.  For a first time out of the box I did a good job i think.
