A Forest of Greens


Eyeshadow that is! Taking from my many purples post here are all my green eyeshadows swatched over Pixie Epoxy. If you'd like to see all of my shadows in a certain colour leave me a comment and I'll do that shade next! :D
First up are the beige greens, or the beiges that have a slight green tint to them. Starting from the bottom and working upwards is Nars Wicked Duo beige-green, Wet n' wild Snowsprite palette (SSP) beige-green, Fyrinnae Jade Ghost, Almay Green Eyes trio lightest green shade, and Nars Wicked Duo green.
From the bottom up: Almay Green eyes trio light green, Nars Wicked Duo Green, Clinique Lemongrass duo green shade, Wet n' Wild SSP middle green, Barry M Dazzle Dust in Emerald, Urban Decay Homegrown, Red Earth Single in Green.
Bottom to top: Barry M Dazzle Dust in Emerald, Urban Decay Homegrown, Red Earth single in Green, Mac Sumptuous Olive (a bit greener in real life), Wet n' Wild Color Icon single in Envy, Mac Greensmoke.
From bottom to top: Almay Green Eyes Trio dark green shade, Mac Greensmoke, Wet n' Wild SSP Darkest Green, Urban Decay Misdemeanor.
Top: Mac Stacked 2 green-gold pigment crushed metal, Bottom: Mac Greenstroke paint pot

What do you think of my greens? Green is my favourite colour so I have a lot and I still haven't found my ideal dark pine green (blue toned green)  that looks green on the lid and doesn't turn black. Any recommendations? Do you have any favourite green shades or any of these that strike your fancy? Let me know!
