Just note, that since everyone has different shades of green, we recommend that while applying eyeshadow for smokey eyes you should carefully apply each coat of makeup. That would make a considerable difference in the final outcome.

A dramatic looked could be achieved with a brown smokey eye.
You could also get it by applying eyeshadow primer over the eyelid. Then apply a soft brown eyeshadow above and through the crease. Then apply chocolate brown eyeshadow to the lateral half of eyelid and gold eyeshadow to the medial half.

Instead of applying green all over your eye, you could go with a modification of the above look.
