Help with green eyeshadow

Post by Paula » Sun Sep 26, 2010 11:57 am

As the topic states I need advice about some greenish eyeshadow, I got charmed and I really like it but I would also like something more intense and deep. I'm thinking about Aloha, grassroots green and linger. I'm pretty new at using eyeshadow so feel free to give other advice about colourcombos for example. Ill add a pic to make it easier :)

Alright, so I confess, I am the queen of green. I love green e/s more than any other color. I don't have Linger, but I'm sure someone can help with that.

I swatched a bunch of SN greens a while ago...some were GWPs:

My personal faves are Gator Gold (if you have hazel eyes you MUST OWN THIS), Groove (for an excellent color shift), and Grassroots Green, which I'd rec'd to anyone.

I do have Aloha now, and it's a reminds me of a jungle green with a slight gold pearl. I think it'd look very nice on you :)

I agree with Groove and Grassroots Green, very pretty colors, little warmer than Charmed and definitely more intense! Aloha might be lovely too... And Sizzle, though it's more teal than green! :D

I've been shopping at SN for almost three years and I have to throw my opinion in on behalf of Grassroots Green. I have several of the green eyeshadows and Grassroots Green is always my old reliable favorite.

I would join a 12 step program for my SN addiction, but 12 steps are for quitters!
