Best Green Eyeshadows
Lastly, here are my personal favorites for all things matte, green, and eyeshadow! Again, I’ve chosen to stay in a world of permanently available singles, even though there are some delightful greens that have come and gone or are only available in palettes. If you want to peruse all of the more matte (shimmer level of 1-3), permanent green eyeshadows I’ve swatched, you can check ’em all out in the Swatch Gallery. You can also get some inspiration on how to incorporate green eyeshadow into your looks here.
I’d love to hear what your favorite (more) matte green eyeshadows are in the comments below — you can check out the community’s recommendations (as a whole) — don’t forget you can refine those recommendations by all sorts of things from product characteristics (like price and brand) as well as who recommended the products (like selecting characteristics most similar to your own coloring, e.g. skin tone, eye color, and so on).
P.S. — The details for the look featured in this post can be found here.

Personally, I don’t really use matte eyeshadows per se, but these are stunning matte variations of my favourite shade – green. Good matte eyeshadows are hard to find and the singles make sense if you only want one shade. Thank you for this list Christine.
There are a few shades here that I’d love to have. In my collection, I don’t think MAC Coquette is considered green, but it somehow reads like a khaki green taupe on me.
I guess I like this category, w/ 7/12 in-stash, mostly fairly new SG acquisitions. This journey through greens has been immensely pleasurable. Thanks so much. Green is my favorite as well, Genevieve. My iPad won’t let me spell it the Aussie way, lol.
SG really does do green well!
Thank you so much for this list! I’m happy to see that when I placed my order for some green Sydney Grace eyeshadows the other day, I picked all but two that I see here so far. Definitely looking into the other ones, I’m missing some light greens. Thanks again, Christine. These lists are always interesting and helpful.
Happy to help, Tara! Hope you love your SG eyeshadows!
I love Pivot and Fleding by Illamasqua . Oldies but goodies !
I was looking for my favorite MAC matte greens on this list (Bottle Green, Velvet Moss) only to discover they’ve both been discontinued! I’m glad you made this list so I can replace my MAC greens when they run out.
MAC has discontinued so many greens in general (without replacing) 🙁
