Skin discolored around eyes... unhealthy?
The skin near the tear duct or corner closest to my nose is discolored. It's a bit greenish. Is this something I should be worried about?
I'm not sure if it'll show up, but I'll try to put a picture of my eye up.

Even if the picture does come up, I'm not sure if the greenish color is going to show.

Well, there are many things this could be.
An allergic reaction to make-up. If you wear a lot of make-up around your eyes then it might be time to make a change to a better quality brand. Allergic reactions can be almost anything so this could very-well be your body screaming for a change. You should also be changing all of your make-out for fresh packages once every month to help reduce bacteria growth.
Stained from make-up. A lot cheap make-up can stain your eyes, epecially the colors black, blue, and green. All of those colors can leave behind green residue that can take weeks to wear off properly.
Skin infection. I went to school with a guy who had an infection underneathe the skin of his neck that colored it green just like your eyes. It's really ugly. His has progressed so much that it looked like his skin was molding. It's really not pleasant if left untreated, apparently. A doctor is required for this sort of thing, especially since it's so close to the eye. For all I know, it could spread into the eye itself and harm you vision long-term.
Steps?
Change make-up brands. Remember to refresh packages every month to cut down on bacteria growth that isn't visible to the naked eye.
See a doctor about it. Even if it's nothing but staining from mascara or other eye make-up it looks likes it's time for a check-up. It could be nothing. It could be something. If it is something then it is safer to get it treated immediately with professional care than to let it wait and...grow. That area of your eye is often moist so bacteria can easily grow on it, especially if you haven't been taking care of your make-up properly or washing your face enough, y'know?
If all it turns out to be is staining then definitely find a better quality make-up brand. Nobody wants to have zombie eyes after having a nice out with friends.
Oh, and, as a side note, take a multivitamin every day just in case it is in relation to lack of some nutrient you're not getting in your diet. It might help if your doctor says it doesn't look like it's anything serious anyway.
By the way, beautiful eye color.
