Hi,

I am looking for a really deep green/gold eye shadow, I would love to find one that is more of an emerald green rather than a muddy green, if you know what I mean! :rollthoseeyes:

I was hopeful that the 004 (I think) Rimmel 8hr mousse was a deep green but it looks pretty pale on the Rimmel website.

I am looking to use it more as an occasional liner or for along the crease line for depth.

Oh of course it must not need a mortgage to buy!!

Looking forward to the responses!

Gilly,
I think Luisa might have mentioned that the Rimell Green she spoke of was very greeny gold. Remember that colour swatches are not always a true indicator.

Yeah, I would go to Priceline and check it out IRL.

I went to my local Priceline and they did not even have the 8hr shadow!
Tried KMart and they had 002 and that was it!

Gilly for a really intense green, try M.A.C Swimming; M.A.C Humid is also gorgeous, a bit deeper with a gold shimmer. You can see the swatches here:

Humid is gorgeous - I have that - or I did..............:rollthoseeyes:

It is infact a soft green gold Gilly. It looks like a blue teal on the lid and in the container but is a soft pale green with gold undertones. Not a good choice for adding depth, just a wash of colour.

The new Revlon Ltd Ed eyeshadows feature one with a green and gold.

Humid looks lovely!

I was going to suggest the new Revlon. Also, I have a gorgeous green/gold/bronze eyeshadow from Australis (yeah I know, but....), it's lovely!

Bloom e/s in Olive is greeny-gold, although more towards khaki green than emerald green.

I have this one Kate. More of a khaki as you say, but a fanastic colour.

Yes Gilly i have the bloom olive shadow it came in a trio with whisper and taupe, most versitile long wearing colours ive purcashed! It is more of a khakish colour with gold/shimmer tones.

I'm not sure how an olive/khaki would look on my eyes, I don't want it to look like a muddy colour or like an old bruise!! :chuckle:

It'd look gorgeous - really make your eyes 'pop'.

Just had a look on here and it shows the "must have" trio, is that the right one?

This one? http://www.adorebeauty.com.au/adorebeauty/viewitem.asp?idproduct=10929

I believe it is.

Is that a picture of the actual item? they look browny not green!

No, it's greeny/goldy/khaki. Promise!

It's really very pretty. But as the others said, it's more a khaki green, and throws some gold shimmer. On your eyes it'd look gorgeous.

I saw Humid today, very nice!

MAC have a gorgeous green/gold pigment called "Golden Olive". Pigments are great as the jar will seriously last you all year long! If you're one of those people who don't like pigments (cos they can be messy) then the MAC eye shaow in "Swimming" is also really cool. Links to both below.

:chuckle: no its to irredisent to look like a bruise. Im quite fair and it really works with my skin.

Gilly I see you have green eyes, which I do too. I used to wear greeny/gold shadows but they did zilch for me and lately I have realised they don't suit my eyes at all. Have you thought about some other colours like pinks and purples? I find that the contrast makes your eyes look SO much greener than actually wearing a green shadow.

I realise this doesn't answer your question at all, but it's something to consider. My mum has green eyes too and keeps wearing green shadows despite me telling her that they really don't bring out the best.

purples & warm browns look beautiful with greens eyes :whipcrack:
i wanted to say something , so thanks Oz :waving:

You're welcome Fussy! I have soooo many shadows in all shades of greens and golds and really, they just don't do a lot for green eyes, whereas purples/pinks/plums look fab.

I still don't think my eyes are green!! :redcheeks:

Oh really??! Ooops, sorry! They look green on my computer!

Oh really??! Ooops, sorry! They look green on my computer!

Even I think they look green on the computer!! :chuckle:

They must have picked up the colour from the trees outside the window!

Maybe if you used purple eyeshadow then you would look like you have green eyes all the time!!

This is going to get expensive :chuckle::chuckle:

Purple is my favourite eyeshadow and liner colour for pretty much all coloured eyes!

Me three!

Thats the one, the link that Rosie posted, great eyeshadows! Will be buying more Bloom stuff.

M.A.C will definitely have a shade for you Gilly! Just go browse the site, they give colour descriptions of every shade swatch. I am still thinking swimming for you from the M.A.C Range. The M.A.C shadows are $32 each.

I am really loving the Jemma Kidd purple liner atm. It seriously does not budge yet it is SO soft.
