The Greens

[SweetCheeks]

Do the green shadows work well regardless of eye color? Mine are a hazel green and wondered what you thought about incorporating green e/s into my collection ... thanks.

Oh and if anyone has any recommendations for greens to start with that would be great too.

If we are talking about MAC greens, besides the perm. pigments (Golden Olive) and the pro pigments (Landscape Green, Emerald Green, etc.) there is Juxt, Swiming, Humid, Velvet Moss and there are olives like Sumptous Olive. And there are some greens in the Pro collection like Kelly, Bottle Green, Lime and probably a few others I can't recall off the top of my head.

I would think anyone could wear green. I think anyone can pull of any color, it's just a matter of finding an appropriate shade.

Yes, you could definitely do greens. The above suggestions are great. If your eyes have a little brown in them, another great one would be green brown pigment.

I loooove Green Brown. My eyes are a lighter brown and SOMETIMES have a bit of green in them. Green Brown is fabulous.

You couldn definitely pull off greens! If you are a little unsure about it though, try doing just a partial green look... with green in the outer V or in the crease instead of over the entire lid, just to get you used to the color.

Humid is my favorite green e/s, its actually one of my fave MAC e/s over all.

I have green/hazel eyes and I love wearing green!! I love Night Light pigment the best

Oh, yeah definitly green would be pretty. Without actually seeing you and just using your description I would go with Sumptuous Olive, Humid, Greensmoke, Golden Olive pig., Old Gold pig., Club, Patina (some are brown but have a hint of green to them that would look killer!)

i agree with the above! i know steamy is a blued teal, but i just had to throw it in here, because what the hey, and you can use it if you get club

i always use my greens with golds or neutral taupe-browns

get used to the greens by using them as liners!

Thanks everyone for all of the great ideas.

I have really green eyes, and Sumptuous Olive is gorgeous (haven't bought it yet though!), but I have experimented with the green in the Holiday 06 palette and a Milani quad, and I do like how they look in the outer part of my lid.
