General - Eyeshadow

So I haven't been able to do a nice smoky olive green look in a while. I used to back in the early 2000s but I feel like smoky, deep, muted greens are more rare and are harder to come by now. There are a few that can be found in palettes, such as what can be seen in Melt's smoke sessions or gemini palettes. However, I was looking for a pigmented single, instead of an expensive palette, when I would not even use all of the shades. This shade is absolutely perfect for deepening up your outer corner, which is my personal preference because I feel like that concentrated deepness allows my eyes to appear less round, more shapely. It is such a beautiful illusion. I am not sure if this would do great as a lid shade or as a crease shade, as it does seem to lean very cool toned brown when blended out. For only $5 though, I would definitely recommend you at least give it a try!

This shade is very pretty, it pulls very brown on my fair olive skin tone, so the green is not as prominent. It’s nice and deep and while the texture feels nice and blends out on the outer corner, it is a touch dry sometimes and might not sheer out super evenly.

I love seeing these army green colors on the circuit lately. It’s a gorgeous matte color that truly goes with anything. To me, it gives me that grunge rocker look yet still super sophisticated. Does that make sense? I love to pair this with a mauve lid , general in my outer corner & smoked out under my eyes. It’s such a great look.

I was really disappointed in this one... I wanted to play with color theory using Smoke Sessions dupes, and this one just had a really hard time blending over both a primer base and powder-set base. It's a great tone to use against a seafoam green, but more for detail work than deepening.

It's the perfect green brown (more brown) shade, just like it says in the previous review - so swampy, so grungy ! Exactly what I was looking for. Easy to work with and great SG quality we're all used to :) The taken away stars before are a bit misleading since the eyeshadow quality and color are really good. If you think of getting it do so.

The color is stunning and I prefer it to the similar color in the Melt palette. Re the 1 Star reviews, I’m baffled that some would blast a business because an eyeshadow arrives damaged. One. Eyeshadow. I’ve stopped counting the number of times the USPS has lost or mis-delivered packages or delivered damaged makeup. Powder cosmetics obviously are delicate and can easily shatter, especially when in a single. All anyone needs to do is contact the seller for a replacement. The SG team is lovely, professional, and accessible. They consistently produce terrific products at an amazing price, as well as first-rate customer service and fat better return policies than many other brands, including larger ones. I’ve bought from the brand at least 10 times and every time I’ve received a package, it has been carefully packed. SG deserves the benefit of the doubt and an opportunity to provide a replacement before receiving a public swipe about something that may not even have been the brand’s fault.

Another gorgeous, creamy matte from SG. This brand continues to astonish and I’m so glad Temptalia has been reviewing. SG deserves it. Regarding the 1 Star review, I understand the frustration when something arrives shattered, but I’ve never had this happen with SG and I own an embarrassing # of these eyeshadows. It’s just unfair to blame the brand or product because of how one eyeshadow survived shipping. Rather than posting a terrible negative review, I hope people will (if they have a problem) contact SG. Customer Service is stellar. I’m sure they would replace it. They you could review the product, instead of shipping (or most likely, the USPS).

Same thing happened to me. Love the color but it arrived broken into several pieces.

One of two shadows that arrived broken. Another appears to not be completely filled. I love the color, but never had the chance to use because it made a completely mess on my vanity. It is everywhere.
