Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!
Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).
We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green eyes, warm brown hair.
Favorite matte green eyeshadow? Any deep green that blends itself out; the BH Cosmetics Green in Passion in Paris comes to mind and well as SG x Temptalia Interstellar.
Favorite olive green eyeshadow? Lethal from ND Metropolis layered with Scrap from Triochrome.
Favorite shimmery green eyeshadow? Terra Moons Radiation.
Your skin tone/coloring:light, MAC NC 20
Favorite matte green eyeshadow? Sydney Grace Green Anjou
Favorite olive green eyeshadow?MAC Sumptuous Olive
Favorite shimmery green eyeshadow? MAC Humid or L’Oréal Infallible Golden Sage
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Favorite matte green eyeshadow? MAC Plumage or Nars Old Church Street (right side).
Favorite olive green eyeshadow? MAC Sumptuous Olive, Inglot Pearl 419, Stila La Douce (the old powder shadow version), Dior Jungle #4, Make Up For Ever Reptile – I could go on and on….
Favorite shimmery green eyeshadow? The olive green shadows listed above are all shimmery but I’d also add ABH Venice and MAC Steamy and probably the green from Chanel Empreinte du Desert….again, I could go on and on….
I think you forgot CT’s The Rebel 2020 in there, Bonne Etoile – we mostly have the same green eyeshadow loves.
Do you know that MAC has d/c Sumptuous Olive? What a shame – that is a perfect olive shade just like Satin Taupe is a perfect taupe shade.
Yup – and what about the greens in Chanel’s Tisse d’automne??? Hence the “on and on” comment!!!! We both have a real embarrassment of green eyeshadows!
Oh, and I knew about Sumptuous Olive being discontinued. What a bone-headed move! I’ve still not got over Typographic and the original Blanc Type being d/c’d (I think Blanc Type might have been reformulated – not for the better – and brought back, but I’m not sure). But you know what they have kept??? CARBON (and some other crummy shades) – but they axe Sumptuous Olive!
Your skin tone/coloring: Below my name
Favorite matte green eyeshadow? The lighter matte shade in the elf Bite Size Hot Jalapeño
Favorite olive green eyeshadow? I don’t know because the label came off. It’s a long discontinued one from Lancôme that could be ten years old.
Favorite shimmery green eyeshadow? Nyx Prismatic in Jaded
Blonde hair, blue eyes.
Favorite Matte Green: Cactus from Dominique Cosmetics Rustic Glam palette
Favorite Olive Green: Hass from BH Cosmetics Avocado Toast palette.
Favorite Shimmery Green: Sydney Grace Cadet and Fire Butts.
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair with neutral undertones, grey hair and deep brown eyes.
Favorite matte green eyeshadow? Give Me Glow Aged Rose Stem from the Vintage Rose palette. The palette is a favorite.
Favorite olive green eyeshadow? In all honesty, it is a shade that is no longer available and I have used it up so will never find it again. It was Shiseido Silkspun Greengold. The perfect olive green eyeshadow. It is the answer to the next question, also. It was a beautiful shimmer. I have purchased many similar shades since but none that are just right. In the same release was a purple shimmer that was gorgeous also. I used one or the other everyday for two years!!
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Favorite matte green eyeshadow? I don’t use a matte green eyeshadow at all.
Favorite olive green eyeshadow? Now your talking! I have quite a few that I truly love and wear:
bareMInerals Spectacular from the Scenic Route duo
Chanel’s Tisse D’Automne’s No. 1 shade.
CT’s The Rebel 2020
Sydney Grace’s Recruite and Commission (when I remember them)
Favorite shimmery green eyeshadow? I have a few of these as well:
Temptalia x SG’s On the Horizon Light palette – Earthbound
Dior’s Bonne Etoile’s Mint and teal green shade
Stila In the Garden – Sage green shade (wearing now!)
There are probably more – but the above are the ones I reach for mostly.
Why am I not surprised that you also have Bare Minerals The Scenic Route! I haven’t used it in a while but you’ve reminded me that I should find it and wear it more. And you also reminded me about Flicker (also from Bare Minerals) – a bronzey green that is just lovely.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with warm yellow undertones, dark brown hair and eyes
Favorite matte green eyeshadow? I don’t think I ever liked a matte green eyeshadow
Favorite olive green eyeshadow? MAC Sumptuous Olive… discontinued
Favorite shimmery green eyeshadow? MAC Humid… off course, discontinued… it’s a curse
* Note: I’m very iffy with greens, I like a nice jewel tone or grungy or mossy green, but very few greens look good on me. There are many greens I absolutely love in the pan, but look awful on me.
Your skin tone/coloring: very fair neutral
Favorite matte green eyeshadow? Colourpop Trust Me, Oblivion and Charmed
Favorite olive green eyeshadow? Colourpop Olive U and Wanna Go, Natasha Denona Cosmo
Favorite shimmery green eyeshadow? Bernovich X17, Mac Joie de Glitz
Your skin tone/coloring: above
Favorite matte green eyeshadow? Sydney Grace Evergreen just always makes my heart swell
Favorite olive green eyeshadow? Siren Call by Sydney Grace maybe?
Favorite shimmery green eyeshadow? Terra Moons Radiation
