I believe that anyone with any combination of hair and eye color (and glasses!) can wear any eye colors they choose and have them look right provided the colors are chosen to compliment each other (not your hair, or eyes, or glasses) and the application is smooth.
I wear glasses as well, and I find that sometimes it requires a little more color and a heavier application to make my eyemakeup (and thus eyes) stand out versus if I'm not wearing glasses.
As far as colors go, hazel eyes look great in purples and greens. These jewel toned colors will look even more amazing on your deeper toned skin. I highly recommend MAC and Urban Decay eyeshadows and liners for the intensity and quality of their colors. Urban Decay is awesome, but is generally an all around intense company, if you're looking for a more subdued eye but still want some color and definition there's always great choices at MAC.
For a great green eye with MAC products:
1. Apply Vex (shimmery light grey) or Nylon (shimmery light gold) eyeshadow from lase line to brow bone. These are both highlight colors.
2. Apply Humid (vivid shimmery green) eyeshadow all over the lid and up to the crease. Blend well.
3. Apply Femme Noir (a deep, smokey matte green) eyeshadow in the crease.
4. Line eyes with Tealo Powerpoint pencil, to top and bottom lash lines, blending well.
5. Top off with 2 coats of your favorite black mascara (MAC Fibre Rich Lash in All Black is excellent).
For a pretty purple look with MAC products:
1. Apply Phloof! (shimmery pinkish white) from lase line to brow bone to highlight.
2. Apply Satelitte Dreams (sparkly purpley plum) eyeshadow all over the lid and up to the crease. Blend well.
3. Apply Black Tied (matte black with silver sparkle) lighty into crease for added definition.
4. Line eyes with Prunella (shimmery dark plum) Eye Kohl to upper and lower lash lines, blending well.
5. Apply 2 coats of your favorite black mascara!
For even more definition curl lashes before applying mascara but after all other eye products. Shu Uemura's lash curler is my favorite. Pump the curler lightly from the base of the lash on out to the tips to avoid the ';bent'; lash look.I wear glasses. What type of eyeliner and eyeshadow will make my eyes stand out?
You should use black eyeliner an don't use eyeshadow, just use mascara. it will look great with your glasses!

just check out this picture - there is a tutorial included as well.
i use an ivory green. It makes eyes ';pop'; out and widens them. For eyeshadow, i use hardcandy brand shimery brown color. They look really nice together!
It is a common mis-conception that glasses wearers need to ';over do'; their makeup in order for their eyes to be noticed. You'll be judged best if you use the same makeup you would if you didn't wear glasses.
Try the Almay combinations. I love them!
I've been wearing glasses since before I started wearing makeup, and one trick I've picked up is to take a very light eyeshadow (one that complements the tones you're already wearing) and use it around the inside of your eyes.
This is from the same school of thought as lining the inside of your bottom eyelid with a white or light eyeliner. All of this is designed to make your eyes ';pop'; and be bigger or more noticeable. Lighter tones in general will make your eyes stand out, which might seem garish on someone without glasses. With glasses, though, you can take that extra step to make your eyes stand out.
hazel eyes and dark skin make green eyeshadow look great. i don't know where you live, but in the UK Barry M has recently brought out a new kind of eyeshadow, it's much more powdery than normal. there must be some equivalents. it's very sparkly.
dark skin also looks great with gold and purple eyeshadow. if your glasses magnify your eyes a little, it makes it stand out more and you could easily wear one colour fading into another.
make sure you don't use too much eyeliner. and if you wear mascara make sure that it's not too sticky or lumpy.
wear a gold shimmery eyeshadow and maybe a lil black eyeliner at the bottom
well just because you where glasses doesn't mean that you half to over do your make up. try maybe a different color eyeliner and black or a different color mascaras. just play up your other features besides your eyes.
