I’d either pair it with Shimmermoss or Satin Taupe. I think it will look nice because greens and browns really make my eyes pop.

Sandra Avatar

I would use it with a base eyeshadow, like Brule, and a thick eyeline with my Blactrack, lot of mascara, Nars Laguna on my face and Bare Necessity Dazzleglass on my lips.

Arduinna4 Avatar

A rather weird combo…but i’d use it with Birds and Berries from LOL collection. Can u tell i’m a veluxe pearl girl??? 😀
I would name the look “Sweet Birds and Punchy Berries”! 😀

melissa Avatar

Fuschia and Grape pigments….I love lime-ish green colors with purple and pink…or this with a light wash on the eyes with Violetta lipstick!!!!

Step Avatar

Probably a navy or dark purple in the outer corner/crease and then thick eyeliner winged out a bit. Going for a “modern art eyes” type of thing.

Kim Avatar

I would wear this alone due to the intensity of this color, but i would wear it over bare study paint pot to give it an extra sheen:)

lourdes fernandez Avatar

i would pair sweet and punchy with humid in the outer lid and sweet and punchy in the middle and chrome yellow in the inner corner and put a little bit of goldime on top of chrome yellow and use vanilla as my highlight color!!!

Isabella Rabello Avatar

As I’m Brazilian, I’d put it with a deeper green and a yellow eyeshadow to make the perfect eye for Brazilian soccer games at World Cup.

dolce aria Avatar

I bet t his would be lovely with a rich mossy green, or maybe even a vibrant teal. I don’t know if i can get enough use out of it to buy it, but I can certainly think of ways to use it! MAC Steamy might be fun, with the gold-ish flecks…. Or Greensmoke….

Kiwi.Cozy Avatar

I would absolutely love to pair this eyeshadow with a dark purple matte one in the crease. It would be a nice contrast. 🙂

aida Avatar

I will use it with my Humid Mac eyeshadow but I will also like to try it with some dark gray eyeshadow, maybe only use it with the olive green khol pencil of this collection, just to see how it works. My eyes are green so, I would try to create a all greens look

Sydney Avatar

I would pair this with my Urban Decay Deluxe e/s in Graffiti for a bold green eye. I would wear a nude lip to keep the focus on the eyes.

Catherine Avatar

I’m planning on trying it out with Coral crepe pp with melon pigment in the outer 2/3 with sweet and punchy in the inner 1/3.

Nadia Avatar

Since it’s a pretty vivid, bold colour…I’d keep the focus on it by wearing it on my lid and then I’d just use a neutral (matte) contour colour (like Cork) in my crease for some added definition. I’d line my eyes using Dipdown fluidline from MAC. And mascara, of course.

Madison Avatar

I’d probably just pair with with a more neutral color like soft brown in the crease with a nice wash of sweet and punchy over the lid. =]

PJ Avatar

I would pair with Humid, MAC Liberty of London Birds and Berries eye shadow in the crease, and for lips use the Flurry of Fun lipglass! Thanks for all the awesome giveaways!

Wendy M. Avatar

Not very original, but I saw Sweet & Punchy paired with Humid in the MAC website (under Looks, I think) and I thought it looked so sexy but pretty. 🙂

milly Avatar

I would pair this eyeshadow with a deep colour like beauty marked or black tied, for a sultry smokey eye, but a bright sultry smokey eye 🙂

sarah k Avatar

I’d love to use this on the lid and lower lashline, and smoke this out with brown in the crease during the day, and bump it up to black for a cool summer evening 🙂

MG Avatar

I would put this on my lid and in the crease use mulch..This would be a fun “going green” wilderness look I think!! I also think Sweet and Punchy would be nice in my inner courner!!

Adrine Avatar

I would pair “sweet and punchy” with either “mulch” or “club” eyeshadows because I think it would just make the green pop even more. I would also add a soft brown eyeliner and thick coats of mascara.

Cat Avatar

i would pair it with either carbon or a dark brown e/s to make a pretty smokey look with a pop of color and peach/coral blush with coral or pale pink lips.

Angie Avatar

Id pair this with Lucky Green and Firecracker with Crystal Avalanche to highlight. It would be very bright, Summery and fun! ;D

Paloma Avatar

I would probably use my dark olive-ish creamy shadowstick from Avon as a base, put this on and then use maybe one or two colors from my green/yellow/green NYX quad.

Liz W Avatar

i think i would slightly tone it down with humid, wedge and woodwinked – giving it a brown-green look. simple face with only bronzer and lots of black mascara!

Hay Mich Avatar

I’d pair it with Lala or Humid or maybe even a purple shade in the crease. I would most likely use Humid as a liner and see if I could use sweet and punchy under eye to give a little extra pop! Then I’d use a peach blush and a peach lipstick or gloss.

Jolene Avatar

I would probably pair it with a brown in the crease to tone it down, or use it on the lower lash line, i’m not used to such bright colours! lol

Shaye Avatar

I would use it with Humid and Bright Future from last year’s Style Warriors collection. Bright, crazy greens and yellows! Yummy!

Fridde Avatar

I would pair it with a teal, a violet, a darker blue and a light pink eyeshadow to make it a really bright, eye-popping fun peacock eye, paired with my favorite lipcolor; Mac Petals & Peacocks!

ps. I would pee in my pants if I won one of your contest, I never win stuff!

Alex W Avatar

I would LOVE to wear this with some brown liner, and maybe a little dot of Urban Decay Flash in the corner of the eyes. I think it’d look GREAT with a brown dress, or a purple bathing suit as well!

Diligent Shopper Avatar

I think I’d wear this on my lower lash lash with my neutrals on my eyelids. I usually don’t wear such bright colors so I really don’t know how to work this out.

Cecilia Avatar

I’d pair this with gold and white shadows like Gorgeous Gold and Vanilla or maybe Nylon instead. I’d add some brown gel liner.

Lyndsay Avatar

This is such a pretty color, I’d wear it primarily by itself across the lid and then a flesh color shadow to blend out and deepend the crease a tad. A nice warm peachy lipstick and voila, ready for fun in the sun!

wbwrightMakeupArtist Avatar

For summer, I think it would be fun paired with UD Asphyxia… I love me some Mermaid looks when I am tan!
I cannot wait to get my hands on this color, its dreamy!

off to retweet

Shannon Ikerd Avatar

I’d layer this over the Pharaoh paint pot and blend with either Contrast or Shadowy Lady in the “outer V” and blend out with Soft Brown (skin color tone shadow).

veronica Avatar

I would love to get my hands on this! I’ve been picturing sweet and punchy with my mac plummage, and my beige caracai lancome lipstick and touched by light juicy tube.

claudia Avatar

i would pair it with a dark brown on the crease and a light cream color on the inner part of the eye, and line my upper and lower line with humid

Tatyana Avatar

Here is the link to my Sweet & Punchy tutorial and here is what I would pair it with: NYX Jumbo pencil in Yellow on a upper lid with Sweet & Punchy over it. Mac Marine Ultra Chrom Pencil in a crease with Mac Blue storm over it. Blend everything, then put Crystal Avalanche as a highlight. Line your water line and line upper lash line with Marine Ultra chrom pencil. Do your lashes. Put Hipness on your cheeks and Life’s a Breeze, Lazy Day, and Splashing on your lips.

I’d probably do something as boring as pairing this with Humid. Safe combo, but pretty. I would use also use Style blush on my cheeks, and a pale orange/coral lipstick or gloss.

Lingping Avatar

Such a wonderful, bright color! For work, I would pair it with a greige, and put Sweet and Puncy either in the crease, or on the lid for a soft (if that is a word that can be used about anything with this color involved) smokey green-to neutral look.

For a more fun look, I think i would pair it with a semi-bright pink, maybe even one with golden shimmer. Pink and green are so pretty together.

kenneth alan Avatar

Float on By eye kohl on the upper and lower waterline, Smolder eye kohl on the upper and lower lashline blended out a little, Sweet & Punchy on the lid, Humid in the crease, and hmm maybe some Shimmermoss in the inner corner of the eyes or chrome yellow… OOH MAYBE ELECTRIC EEL… yeahhh now I have to try this look out as soon as I get my stuff from To The Beach. oh and then probably vanilla pigment as a highlight since I’m obsessed with it and just use it with any look. then add some mascara and maybe fake lashes on the upper lashes and you’re all set. then you know some marine life highlight powder for blush, vanilla pigment for highlight again, maybe some contouring with any bronzer, Lazy Day lipstick on the lips and some Flurry of Fun lipglass on top applied with a brush so it isn’t so orange and the glitter isn’t so intense.

whoah sorry for the huge post haha I’m just excited to try out looks with the new products.

Kajsa Avatar

I’d pare it with MAC Humid on the lid. And some MUFE #92 in the crease, and darken it up a little with MAC Meet the fleet. (Even if I only have Meet the fleet, I’d pick the other colors from 88 or 120 palette :))

RT’ed, nickname: Monticka

rosie Avatar

I’d wear it over NYX milk eye pencil, winged out on the upper lid, and then with thick winged black fluidline eyeliner. Kind of in a Beyonce Telephone-video style. I’m liking this a lot lately, with varying bright colours 🙂

Amanda Sun Avatar

I’d pair it with Urban Decay Goddess (on the outer third of the lid) and Shu Uemura ME600 (metallic ocean blue) (layered over Goddess, and swept over the outer half of the lid); and maybe just rim my eyes with simple black kohl liner.

Gabrielle Avatar

I am in love with all blue and green for this summer. I already have a look in mind of this shadow in the inner corner of the eye blended into a bright blue and a touch of it in the crease to transition to a white with golden yellow flakes that I have to the brow…

Elina Avatar

With electric eel and plumage in the crease, I think it’ll look great!! I’d also love to make a cut crease look with carbon. I’m sure I’ll never do, because it’s sold out here in spain…

Shannon Avatar

i’d wear it with a deep blackened hunter green shade, such as Lorac Jade maybe or the blackened green shade in my Kate gradient palette. This would go on near the inner corner and ball of the eyes, and then i’d blacken and line with the darker color. and maybe pair with a salmon pink color! it’d be fun to play around with 😀

rachel Avatar

Because I work in an office and this is a pretty bright color, I’d probably let my eyes be the focal point, and pair this with some bronzer, and a pale glossy lip, for a tropical but not o.t.t. look.

elizabeth Avatar

on the lid, id put this eyeshadow (with a little but of a soft medium brown to define the crease) with plumage to darken up the outer corner just a bit, then float on by as liner for the bottom lashline 🙂

LH Avatar

Id pair it with anything lol purples blues browns other greens. However I think the first color I will pair it with is Freshwater and Humid.

Ana Avatar

I will pair it with a lot of shadows from Alice UD Palette: Underland, Alice, Queen, Muchness, Mushroom… Curiouser… Absolem… very fun and summer looks
Good luck to everyone!!

jessicakalaniii Avatar

i would definitely pair this with my Mac grease-paint stick in Uniformly Blue as liner, and a dark blue eyeshadow like Nehru on the outer V. (:

Joy Avatar

sweet & punchy all over, humid in the outer corner and seedy pearl in the inner corner plus some cute light pink on the lips…not too glossy or glittery plus some pink swoon on the cheeks (light hand) 🙂

Amy M Avatar

I would pair it with Bright Future from the Style Warrior collection with UD Mildew in the crease.

Also, Glossy peachy coral lips and bronzer.

Mona Avatar

This eyeshadow is soo pretty! I would wear it plain like a thick eyeliner with bronze cheeks and hot pink lips! Totally summer 🙂

Ramlah Avatar

I’d probably pair this with Humid in the outer third of the lid, shadow blended out at the crease and a matte highlighter. Probably some black eyeliner and mascara also, would definitely have to go with muted lips and peach blush to finish off.

KIMOY Avatar

I would definately pair this with a coral colour to create that perfect tropical “to the beach” look. When I want to alter the look for an evening look, i would add a dark brown to the outer corner of the eye for some “smokiness”

Sara Avatar

Hey doll! Thanks for another fabulous opportunity! Follow you almost daily (as soon as I can!). I adore your blog and lovin the new look of it!

A: Well, I don’t have many eyeshadows OR anything remotely similar to this color. However, it looks absolutely gorgeous in the swatch you did and a FOTD! I would use it on the lid and pair it with Ricepaper (highlight), Brownscript (crease), and Sketch (outter corners). I would also use a plum/purple liner or shadow for under the waterline and a black eyeliner on the lid.

Good luck to EVERYONE and best wishes! ♥

Aleksandra Avatar

I’d pair this with the dark green side of my metallic green Isa Dora Duo, and my Clarins Forest Green in the outer V. That would make my green eyes pop so much 😀 actually now that I think about it, I might have to buy it (unless I’m lucky enough to win 😀 ) just for this combo, it sounds like it would be awesome!

Laura Avatar

I’m not entering because I already bought this eyeshadow, but I’m so glad you asked that question because I needed ideas for what to pair it with, lol!

Beth Avatar

I think i would pair this with a coral on the first half of the eye this in the middle/end and a nice deep brown in the crease with a darker almost black brown in the outer v.

Meagn Avatar

I would pair this eyeshadow with Haunting,Bright sunshine, and the new Urban Decay eyeshadow Aquarius!! I would also put Nude rose Lipstick on the lips, with hush cream color base on my cheeks! 🙂

Sandra Avatar

I’d use Crest the wave on the inside corners, sweet & punchy in the middle, and Lala on the outer edge… kinda like a watermelon. black liner and black mascara!

Z Avatar

I would use it with a dark gray for a smokey eye look or I would use any dark teal e/s to go in the crease with a hint of black in the outer V or the eye. =D

tpzhearts Avatar

A nude color all over the lid, then this on the outer half of the lid, and then a darker purple or green. Of course with liner and mascara 🙂

Zenaida Avatar

I had a look the other day with a shade similar to this and it used a peach shade also!! I loved it, but I would mostly likely pair teals with it, I’ve always been fond of those combos.

NeenaJ Avatar

I’d love to try it with a vibrant purple (maybe mac’s violet pigment) in the outer corner,deeper wine color (maybe ud’s metropolitan) in the crease and black liner.

Emily Avatar

I’m actually wearing this today! I have Sweet and Punch all over the lid, Shimmermoss on the outer 1/3, Firecracker in the crease, and Nanogold as a highlight (as well as in the inner “V”). I lined under the eye with Rosemary and Thyme, Hipness on the cheeks (w/ Soft and Gentle to highlight), and Easy Lounger on the lips! I luvs the look! And I want a backup! =) Sweet and Punchy is def. my fav. shadow of the 5.

Jenny Avatar

I would wear this eyeshadow itself as it is! It is such a nice lime-greenish color, perfect for an all-over lid wash of color for a nice summmer sunny day 🙂

Stephanie Avatar

I would pair this with like a dark brown I have in my makeup kit idk what brand but it was like shimmers of green and blue and yellow it’s perfect

Vivian Avatar

I would use this in the inner corner or inner 1/3 of my life; in addition I would use starsmakeuphaven (SMH) in Fresh. LOVE that color.

I would probably use some black in the outer crease too

siwing Avatar

Hmmm… I only have neutral colors in my collection.. If I win this, I would probably pair it up with a coral color such as woodwinked on the crease.. 🙂

Yunii Avatar

I would pair it with a dark bronze color on the outer corner to enhance the summer-sunshine feeling ! Of course not to mention a subtle eyeliner together with the look with a slight chic winged-out look to it!

Candyce Avatar

I’d pair this with a lot of stuff. First look would probably be Sweet & Punchy with a bright yellow and some gold pigment.

Jackie Li Avatar

I pair Sweet & Punchy with Humid, dark brow Dior liquid eyeliner, sisley blush #3 Mango and YSL Gloss Pur #8 watermelon~~!

Yenny V Avatar

I think I’d pair this eyeshadow with purples. I love lime green and purple together. They’re so contrasted so they just pop right next to each other. On the top of my head, I’m thinking MAC Fashion Groupie or MUFE #92.

Shanna A Avatar

I would pair this eyeshadow with a gold like MAC Gorgeous Gold, or try it out with MAC Humid or Lucky Green for a very green eye.

Jula Avatar

um…it would be a challenge…maybe some browns? I’m a neutral girl, but this color is really interesting and it would be fun to play around with it

Lizz M. Avatar

My instinct is to pair this with golds and bronzes. Like have Sweet & Punchy on the lid, a pigmented gold in the crease like Goldmine and a coppery-bronze bended on the outer-lid. A gold liner on the waterline and a rich brown smudged into the lash-line. Something like Ricepaper as a highlight. Yeah, this could work since Sweet & Punchy has more goldy undertones 🙂

Kristen Avatar

I would pair this with some black shadow. Or maybe purple? Blue? I think it would look great with so many things. I’ll try everything out!

Amanda Avatar

This is on my MAC wishlist! I want it so bad! I think it would look great with just about anything. I can see myself wearing it mostly with carbon.

amani Avatar

i would pair this with shimmermoss, expresso and romping between the brow bone and crease colors…. highlighter will be vanilla

baby in a corner Avatar

i would pair it with a teal eyeshadow – UD shattered probably or Jinx and make a snake effect eye but mixing the two together!

Anna Phylactyc Avatar

Ooh, this is a fun one! I’m thinking a really bold, monochromatic eye with True Chartreuse pro pigment as a base, Sweet & Punchy packed on inner half of the lid and heavily applied to the lower lashline, and Pagan (LE) on the outer half and crease (blended well!) Maybe a tiny bit of Carbon at the outer v to deepen. Nars Albatross blush as highlighter everywhere, and a nude lipstick and silvery gloss (Rock Out lipglass (LE), maybe), I see this being sort of otherwordly, like the makeup design of one of those sexy Star Trek aliens.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Mia Avatar

I’d pair it with MAC Electric Eel. Sounds scary but if you put dat on da inner half of the lid and electric eel on the outer lid… it would look bright and gorgeous!

Wilcoa Avatar

I’d probably do a smokey green look, probably mix up with some of the colors in the Photo Realism Quad or pair it with some golds.

Elaine Avatar

I’m going to pair this with dipdown fluidline and woodwinked in the crease. topped off with trace gold on the cheeks and something nude on the lips (havent decided what yet)

Daphnee Avatar

I’d pair Sweet & Punchy with Heritage Rouge (pigment) and Sketch e/s! Another look would be with my Sea & Sky mineralized shadow.

Camille Avatar

I would pair this with Revlon’s 5 in 1 blue shades and use those as the top and crease area. I would take Sweet & Punchy into the inner 1/3 of eye lid. Next I would take Lancome’s gold artliner and trace it on my top lid. Nyx’s green chunky pencil would go on the bottom lining. Then I would take MAC’s orange aura into the inner tear duct and combine MAC’s Garb and Sunbasque to contour my cheeks 🙂 To top it all off I’d swipe on Lancome’s Juicy Tube Daquiri 😉

Ashley Avatar

I’d pair this eyeshadow with a dark shimmery navy colour on the crease and gold liquid liner on the top and MAC’s Blackline liner on the bottom lash line.

Christy Avatar

I’m going to pair this eyeshadow with all the other eyeshadows in the collection at one time because I’m in to doing colorful eye looks these days.

Alana Avatar

I would probably pair this with my Urban Decay summer of love palette, making a nice bronzey eye with a pop of green on the lower lash line.

cynthia Avatar

I heard it’s nice to pair it with firecracker eyeshadow..I think I will try it with warmer color such as reddish purple or warm brown eyeshadows to make it more wearable..

auroragyps Avatar

I would pair Sweet & Punchy with UD’s Lounge eye shadow, with maybe a bit of Twice Baked in the extreme outer corner. I’d use UD’s Bourban 24/7 liner to line my bottom lids and then run over it with Lounge to get some of the green duo-chrome to show up. I’d wear a pale nude or peachy gloss to finish up for daytime, but I might wear MAC in Meltdown with a pale gloss over it for night. To finish up the look, I’d wear some bronzer and a bit of a apricot blush.

SilhouetteScreams Avatar

I’d pair it with a deep matte purple in the crease (I’m thinking Sugarpill’s Poison Plum), or maybe with a nice turquoise in the crease, like Urban Decay Flipside or Concrete Minerals’ Zealous

Stephanie S Avatar

I would pair this eyeshadow with the lipstick PLINK! because it’s a light pink; the combination of both is so fresh and sweet just like summer!

Bernice Avatar

I’d pair it with a dark charcoal colour for a great smokey look and then put Sweet & Punchy on the lower lashline for a great pop of colour too 🙂

Tanya Avatar

I’d pair it with Humid and a mid-tone brown (forget the name, it is in a Cargo pallet I own)and black eyeliner with Deep Truth smudged over it.

Riki Avatar

This color can work with so many combinations! But 1st thing that comes to mind is teal, and 2nd thing I’d try it with is a deep matte smokey blue, it looks very interesting in my imagination 🙂

tyana Avatar

for a natural look i would pair this with shale on the outer crease or all that glitters on the lid and this on the outer crease. purple or pink shadow will look nice with it too, so excited to use this!!

jenn Avatar

I don’t even know what I’d pair it with, except I saw it tonight at the store… The MAC counter staff set out the display right at closing time tonight… And I knew at first sight that this eyeshadow is to die for!

Christine Avatar

I would use Sweet and Punchy as an all over eye colour, pop in UD’s Acid Rain for highlighting and then line the eyes in a cat eye with Stila’s black smudge pot!

XOVINTAGELOVE Avatar

Ooh, that’s a toughie. I don’t usually do brights but this one is calling out to me.

Maybe some MAC Old Gold pigment, or Humid eyeshadow. I don’t know haha

Twitter: XOVINTAGELOVE

Whitney Avatar

Well i don’t think i’d use a lot of it, cause i don’t usually wear colors like that. haha but i’d probably just use a dark brown liner and some mascara :).

Amy Avatar

I would probably use this on my lower lash line with neutrals on the lid. I have green eyes so I don’t like to use yellow-greens very much. I’d like to try it out!

Jess Avatar

I think this shadow would look great with yellow…maybe crest the wave, or even a yellow-gold like gorgeous gold. Or if I was feeling a little adventurous it would look very cool with purple, like Parfait Amour

francesca Avatar

I think I’d pair it with neutral colors such as Mulch, Cork, Glamour Check! Peachy cheeks (Peaches), sheer coral lips (Ravishing).

Annie Avatar

I’d pair it with Trax or Smudged Violet in the crease and as highlight I would use Daisychain (my all time favorite highlighter, it’s a shame it was limited edition)

Eva Avatar

I´d love to try it with Humid and also mossy, matte greens like Green Gamin.
I also think cooler browns/taupes would look great with it (I found Sharp and Dark Edge to be a genious combination): Sweet and Punchy on the lid, Clue in the crease and above, Dark Edge or Moth Brown to darken the crease and Shroom, Mylar or Next to Nothing to highlight.
I would use the darkest crease colour as a liner as well.
If I weren´t as pale as a ghost, I could imagine this with a darker blue or a beatufiul teal as well, but I tend to look really washed out with too many bright colours on my eyes…

Paulina Avatar

It reminds me color of lovely SHREK. So will pair it with brown eyeshadow, maybe with Espresso? And I will put Golden Olive pigment on it.

Vale Avatar

I think I will pair it with fuchsia pigment and a bit of turquoise… cannot decide which one… I should try! (I know, a very neon look 😀 )
Vale

johanna c. aldana Avatar

i would apply a light goldish color to my inner corner almost half way with sweet&punchy out in the outter corner . with a darker grean/brown on top of sweet&punchy and blend it out really good. finishing with black eyeliner and mascara .

Lauren Avatar

i would pair this with parrot e/s and an intense purple.
go half and half s&p on the inner half and parrot on the outer.
purple underneath.
mega wing liner.
white liner on waterline.
fake lashes out the wazoo.
bellisimo.

Kelly Avatar

I would use gorgeous gold on the lid and inner corners of the eye and use sweet and punchy as my crease color with a little bit of carbon mixed together and also sweet and punchy as an under eye liner color with black eyeliner on the waterline..

Petra Avatar

I’d probably wear it with some neutrals, or some blue-teal thrown in (Float On By for exc). I bet it would look lovely with some champagne-gold-sand colours (aka neutrals, lol), or smoked out with some black. I’m sure it would look lovely with some other colour, but personally I wouldn’t go for it. (not enough lid space, technique or place to wear it to :))

Amber Avatar

I think i would pair this with a dark green or navy blue if i was to be safe. I would love to try out purples with it! Or i guess you could go with lighter colours such a baby pink or lemon!

Chocobon Avatar

Oh I will pair this e/s with Humid on the lower lashline, plumage in the crease, soft brown to transition and ricepaper as a highlight!!

Jenna Avatar

i’d pair this colour with a black base to intensify the shade. a pretty shimmery turquoise would also look gorgeous for a bright summer look 🙂

Katrina Avatar

I would pair it with bare study paint pot and dazzlelight eyeshadow all over the lid with sweet&punchy in the crease for a pop of color.

Josi Avatar

This is a really bright green and i would use it with a matte black eyeshadow… perhaps the lower lashline in another colour like a bright purple or blue 😉

katia Avatar

I would pair it with a simple gold/bronze in the inside of the eye

I don’t think it needs much, maybe for the evening an aubergin colour liner

And on the lips dior maximazer

Dollymix8 Avatar

I would use Sweet & Punchy and Amberlights on the lid, a little bit of Satin Taupe in the crease and some vanilla to highlight my browbone.

Angel Avatar

Wow this is such a pretty green! Love it… I would pair it with a silver eyeshadow in the inner corner of my eye, then apply “sweet and punchy” in the centre of my lid. Thereafter I would apply a darker green on the outer corner. I would line my upper lid with black liquid liner.

Thanks for this giveaway!

Meaghan Avatar

I would pair this with crystal avalanche in the inner corner, put this on the main part of the lid & take humid and put it on the outer V. : ) love you temptalia! i hope you get more info for the Mac & Disney soon! <3

Laurz Avatar

I would definately pair this with blues and dark greens…like BB’s forest green e/s and this wonderful lighter turquoise from POUT that I can’t get anymore. Probably add some Cool Heat in there too.

Stephanie Avatar

I’d pair it with firecracker or deep truth or just have it by it self on the lid with black track fluid line and tons of mascara

Christy Ordonez Avatar

So many options!!!! A navy liner, or blended with MAC orange pigment on the lid. Or MAC Rave liner. Or Flame paint as liner.

Sloane Avatar

Staying within the collection i am going to pair it with rosemary and thyme liner and firecracker eyeshadow in the crease area.

strawberry Avatar

i would pair it with a neutral and have it on the outer edge of my lid so that it can be wearable but bright and fun at the same time :]

Sharmen Avatar

I’d do… Sweet and Punchy on top of Chartru paint on the lid, Soft Brown in the crease, Antiqued on the outer v, Ricepaper on the brow bone, and Solar White in the inner corners of eye and under eyebrow arch. Finish with Blacktrack fluidline and lots of black mascara!

Katrina Avatar

I love green and purple combos, so I would use this with a brown or black in the crease to smoke it out a little bit, and some purple on the bottom for a pop!

Amy Avatar

I would probably just wear a neutral eye like stila kitten and mac woodwinked and then use sweet & punchy as an eyeliner on the upper lash line 🙂

Prerna Avatar

I would definitely pair it up with Bright Sunshine and Bitter!!
It would be pretty wacky if you think about it, but I love making those bright, neon eyes that pop!!

Talya Avatar

i would tone it down with soft brown as a base, have it all over my lid transitioning into expensive pink in my crease area, with shimmermoss in my outer corner/outer crease 🙂

the obvious answer would be humid. but I think it would look rockin’ with chrome yellow and carbon. or I could neautralize it with cork, blank type, and henna. It may look awesome with rule too!

Misha Avatar

id possibly pair this with Humid. my dress for my brothers wedding is blue and yellow, so for the wedding, id pair it with Shimmermoss.

Yanna Avatar

I would pair this eyeshadow with Humid to have a smokey green from a lighter shade to darker shade. I think that would be a cute night time dramatic look.

KrisBliss Avatar

I would pair this with Amber Lights, Bronze, and Goldmine. I would do a glowy cheek with Warmed MSF and use Thrills lipstick with Pink Grapefruit gloss on top!

Lucy Avatar

I would pair sweet & punchy with urban decays peace and randsom from the deluxe palette because i think it would like nice for the summer and a kind of mermaid look if you did a tutorial for it 🙂
Thanks for the opertunity 🙂

I love summer because it means going to the beach and what’s better than pairing this bold shade with another awesome Mac color – Humid eyeshadow! You wouldn’t need to wear a skimpy swimsuit while strutting at the beach to get noticed. This lovely combination would be the perfect compliment to your sun-kissed skin!

Chrissie Avatar

I saw a MAC makeup artist pair this with Sand and Sun and it looked absolutely beautiful! It was more subdued on her face which I loved

To be true to summer -bright, saturated colours- I would pair this eyeshadow with a warm cheery yellow, MAC’s Chrome Yellow, and a sweep of black mascara. On my cheeks I would use gel blush, Tipsy, from Tarte and finish with clear gloss on my lips.
I like to keep my look simple. The brighter the eyes, the less I use on my lips.

I would pair Sweet & Punchy with Humid and Shimmermoss eyeshadow. I would wear brown eyeliner with it, Hipness blush on top of Refined Golden bronzer, and a nude lipstick.

barisek Avatar

I would use it as an all-over lid color. Then I would use a kind of bluish-purple eyeshadow in the crease and near the lashes as a “dry liner” 🙂 And then a coral lipstick would give this look a more summery color.

Victoria Avatar

I’d do carbon or a grey color for a smokey look.
or i’d match it with a purple
or i’d do a neutral eye and then use it as my lower lash line color.

Clara Avatar

This color is so gorgeous!! I find that it would make a beautiful green/gray smokey eye when paired with electra and knight divine.

LOL@ my previous post… I wore Rated R with what I posted up there and pretended it was Sweet and Punchy, LOL so please pick me!

Humid, Brown, Photorealism and Superdupernatural.

Kyla Schofield Avatar

this eyeshadow is so beautiful and there is many things i would pare it with, like maybe a brown or black to do like a black/green smokey eye. or a really pretty pink! or just to wear it on its own would be beautiful!

Zekiye Avatar

I love green eyeshadow and collect them whenever I’m in the mood. This is a tough color though. I would probably wear this with a darker green, do mascara and a coral lipgloss and maybe some pale bronzer.

Sarah C Avatar

This color is excellent with a dark purple! Sweet and Punchy and Float on by are the only things I purchased from “To the Beach” and they look lovely together. Today I paired Sweet and Punchy with Deep Damson, Plummage, Shroom (highlight) and then I put nylon in the inner corners. It looks very cool! I love it!

Leah Avatar

I would use bare study paint pot to prime my lids, then use humid all over the lid with sweet & punchy in the crease.
Perfect fun look for summer!

rebecca Avatar

id team it with either a kinda medium bright pink and bright blue eyeliner under my eyes it wud be such a cute summery look x

Elissa Avatar

I love green and purple together, so I would probably do an eye look with those colors. And if I was going out, smoke it out with black and black eyeliner; along with a lighter lip

Kelie Avatar

I would pair this with a nude on my lid, black in the crease, and then I would apply this on my lower lash line for a pop of color. It’s how I make Bright loud colors work friendly 😉

sarah Avatar

i would use this under the lower lash line for a neatral color pop, and then use the color naked on the lid, vanilla on the brow bone, and brown script in the crese for nsatural eyes and a neutral color pop

Sandy Avatar

I would probably pair this bright eyeshadow with naked lunch or grain to start. I don’t have any green eyeshadows like this so it would be fun to try!

dimitra Avatar

I would apply this all over my lid and then put some dark purple in the V.I would also pair this eyelook with a lilac lipgloss

Annalisa Avatar

I would pair it with humid for a green smoky, with a dark grey or dark purple for a smoky with a twist 🙂
Thanks Christine! x 🙂

I would pair this with a little golden lemon in the inner corner and some old gold and blend till my arms got tired!

JuliaK Avatar

I would pair it with bright blue and purple eyeshadows and a golden eyeliner on the lower lashes. For the lips I would go for light neutral-coral color, Beachbound probably…

jo Avatar

i would pair this with a dark purple or cinderfella from the style black collection & make it a shimmery smokey eye love this color.

Pearlyn Avatar

I would use it with some silver and maybe with some gold or blue.
It would look really nice if you were to do a rainbow look with it! 😀
I can’t tell you the exact colour because I haven own one MAC and I would really love to!
I really love Sweet and Punchy so much!
Mac website is OOS, but I really want this BADLY!

Janette Avatar

I would pair this with MAC Bottle Green and Woodwinked

Woodwinked in the inner lid Sweet and Punchy in the middle and outer lid and bottle green in the outer v and crease!

Bobbie Cole Avatar

I would pair this eyeshadow with Deep Truth by MAC for a very simple blue/green look. I would also pair it with something offbeat like hepcat or violet pigment for a fun summer look.

I would pair it with juxt in the inner corner, Sweet&Punchy on the middle of the lid and Wondergrass on the outher V – I would also make it a little bit more dark for the night-time with Humid Eyeshadow. Nice, neutral lipstick like Shy Girl is a must and soft, pinky blush like Dainty.

Ginina Avatar

I would pair this with my favorite eyeliner, UD 24/7 Lucky, because I think chartreuse e/s would look amazing with bright orange/copper e/l. It would look like the TTB packaging 😉

lourdes fernandez Avatar

i would love to pair this with macs shimmermoss and then sketch in the crease to smoke out the look and then use vanilla as a highlight!!

Ren Avatar

Pair it with Shimmermoss from the same collection for a bright, under the sea kind of look! Maybe a coral gloss on the lips too? Rosemary & Thyme liner and a white shimmery liner on the waterline.

Cheyenne Avatar

This color would be the funkiest I’ve owned. For some reason I see it on the lid with a brown color in the crease, then have some kind of bronze liner. I’m not sure what I’m thinking I’d use it with. 🙂 It’s that time in my life to experiment!!

Chloe Avatar

I’d actually want to wear this eyeshadow as an eyeliner on the bottom lash line. greens make my eyes really POP! with a nude or wearable purple look!

Chris G. Avatar

I would apply Vellum PRO e/s on the lid and browbone, Sweet and Punchy through the crease with Float on By Eye Kohl buffed into the outer corner of the eye.

Neli Avatar

I would pair this eyeshadow with MAC’s woodwinked.. I like the sort of odd combo of the lime green of this with the pewtery brownish color of woodwinked. Its just fun!!! and i suck at describing colors! haha 🙂

Maggie Avatar

I would pair this with probably another green eyeshadow, but a deeper color like Humid. In addition I would use a brown color in the crease, such as Bronze by Mac.
