Mac Eyeshadow Swatches: Green and Blue

Green, blue, aqua and turquoise are probably the colors I have used the least of all my eyeshadows. I will always be a neutral girl, but in Summer especially I love using some of the brighter colors to either line my eyes, or mix in with a neutral eyelook.

I actually forgot to include two of my favorite eyeshadows in these photos and that's Club (green-brown) and Nehru (blue-black), but I did swatch them in the brown swatches (Club) and gray and black swatches (Nehru).

Nehru is one of Kim Kardashian's favorite eyeshadows to use for a smoky eye and the one being used in a lot of photoshots of her. ;)

I did a green look a while back using Aquavert, Humid and Plumage. You can see it here.














Favorites:
1st row (top): Steamy
2nd row: Moon Flower
3rd row: Plumage, Contrast, One Off, Humid
4th row: A warmer White, Aquavert, Sumptious Olive
Not present: Club and Nehru

Must-haves in my opinion:
1st row: Steamy
2nd row: -
3rd row: Contrast, Humid
4th row: Aquavert, Sumptious Olive
Club and Nehru (maybe Plumage?)

Wow, I didn't know Plumage applied so dark! This was very helpful. I absolutely love Contrast, it's my favorite blue. I love your make-up stash, would love to see it in person! :)

I actually wrote the wrong blue favorite, Contrast is the favorite, not Deep Truth. Thanks for reminding me! Goes to show how long it's been since I've used any of them...haha :S

I forgot to answer your other question regarding Satin Taupe! :)
I pair it with Patina, Tempting, Mulch (any brown actually) and most lighter colors like Naked Lunch and Grand Entrance. I use it either in the crease or on the outer half of the lid. LOVE it! :)

Such pretty colours!!!

I 'm trying to visualize a blue/green palette that I want to build up next, and it would be somewhere along those lines (or shades, lol)!

Thanks for the great swatches!

Just thought I'd post something helpful. NYX Moroccan is a pretty good dupe of MAC Contrast.
