<em>Green is Green, Blue Charge, Plum Reserve, High Esteem</em></p>
<h2>MAC Colored Zoom Lash Mascara</h2>
<p>I reviewed <strong><a href="http://www.temptalia.com/mac-green-is-green-zoom-lash-mascara-review-photos-swatches">Green is Green</a></strong> initially, and here are swatches of the other three shades, as well as the mascaras worn on lashes. I actually found that Green is Green did the best at coating lashes, with Blue Charge close behind. Plum Reserve and High Esteem didn&#8217;t coat my lashes as effectively and didn&#8217;t give them much color.</p>
<p>Blue Charge is darker than Themyscira, while Plum Reserve is darker and purpler than Victorious. I think you&#8217;ll notice less color difference when they are worn, though, but swatched, their differences are easily seen.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: 14px; color: #9d4b7b;"><strong>my thoughts on the mascara formula:</strong></span> Zoom Lash is supposed to “build density,” while the “ultra-sculpted brush has three-sided fibres to embrace and separate each lash.” My favorite MAC mascara is Plushlash, but I used to use Zoom Lash for quite a bit (because Plushlash didn’t exist). I like how it’s a really thick formula–thick as in it really coats each lash really well in the formula but without clumping. Zoom Lash, being a thicker consistency, will clump if you start going beyond two coats, though. (In my experience, you shouldn’t need more than two.) Zoom Lash separates and defines lashes while thickening them for me. I didn’t have any issues with the mascara flaking or smudging on me.</p></blockquote>

<em>MAC Green is Green Mascara</em></p>
<h2>MAC Colored Zoom Lash Mascara</h2>
<p>Though <strong><a href="http://www.temptalia.com/mac-flighty-collection-for-summer-2011">MAC&#8217;s Flighty Collection</a></strong> has stirred up buzz over the Big Bounce Shadows, there are also four shades of colored Zoom Lash Mascara.  I have <span style="font-size: 14px; color: #9d4b7b;"><strong>Green is Green</strong></span> ($14.00 for 0.28 oz.) to review for now (the rest to follow once I have them&#8211;probably not late this week or early next).  This shade is described as &#8220;jade green,&#8221; and it&#8217;s a dark, cool-toned green with a little hint of teal.  The actual tube is similarly colored.</p>
<p>Zoom Lash is supposed to &#8220;build density,&#8221; while the &#8220;ultra-sculpted brush has three-sided fibres to embrace and separate each lash.&#8221;  My favorite MAC mascara is Plushlash, but I used to use Zoom Lash for quite a bit (because Plushlash didn&#8217;t exist).  I like how it&#8217;s a really thick formula&#8211;thick as in it really coats each lash really well in the formula but without clumping.  Zoom Lash, being a thicker consistency, will clump if you start going beyond two coats, though.  (In my experience, you shouldn&#8217;t need more than two.)  Zoom Lash separates and defines lashes while thickening them for me.  I didn&#8217;t have any issues with the mascara flaking or smudging on me.</p>
<p>Green is Green is rather similar in color to <strong><a href="http://www.temptalia.com/mac-wonder-woman-opulash-mascara-review-photos-swatches">Army of Amazons</a>,</strong> which launched in Wonder Woman.  The color of Green is Green seems a little richer in color, more depth.  The Zoom Lash formula works better than Opulash for the color, though, because with colored mascara over black lashes (which mine are), I need the thickness of the Zoom Lash formula to really have a chance of my lashes looking green.</p>
<p>They look green from up close and afar, but the effect is still subtle from afar.  Colored mascara will also stand out more with a lighter background&#8211;like neutral/light eyeshadows on the lid.  You can also use a white-colored lash primer to enhance colored mascara.  The color coverage here is good but not totally opaque over my black lashes.</p>
