I dark Camo green would look nice, also baby pinks. You can wear most colours just stay away from blues, silvers and greys etc

Oh wow, your eyes sound so beautiful and exotic. I would definetly want to play up your eyes with beautiful jewel tone shades such as gold, deep plums, and turquoise. Because of your skintone, you can also definetly pull off beautiful iridescent colors such as pale green and lilac.
Here are some tips:
1. For bringing out your eyes, sweep a light purple shadow on your eyelid, and after, apply an eggplant purple eyeliner along the top lashline only. Smudge it in a bit for a subtle but sutlry look. Then apply a few generous coats of lenghtehning mascara.
2. To bring out your skintone and your eyes, sweep the pale green shadow across the lid, and an emerald green on the crease. Then line the eyes with a forest green eyeliner. This is absolutely stunning for girls with dark hair, eyes , and olive skin.
3. For a beach bronze goddess look, apply gold shimmery shadow along the browbone and on the inner corners of the eyes to highlight the eyes, then get a coppery shadow to contour the eye crease. Afterwards, line the eyes with a mocha brown. Finish off with mascara.

*** Make sure you finish each look with a pale pink lipgloss to tie in the look and give all the focus to your beatufiul enchanting eyes!

if you want it natural apply a light brown eyeshadow
if you want it elegant just apply some gold glitter on ur eyes
if you want it dramatic then put some light brown eyeshadow w/ a blue/turquoise line on ur eyelid.
