I've got green hazel eyes, and I love the way reds and pinks make them pop. If you're not comfortable with red shadow (though I think everybody should try it, because it's really versatile) then pinky and rosy-nude shades are really flattering. Red is opposite green on the color wheel, so shades in that family will draw more attention to your big green eyes.
I love using purples and plums with browns! Plum and brown is a beautiful combination for green eyes. I love using a plum shade all over the lid and deepening the crease with a darker brown and smudging brown liner on the upper and lower waterlines.
