L-R: MAC Fresh Green Mix (mineralized eye shadow duo), L'Oreal HiP Riotous (duo), and MAC Bitter (Matte) with flash
without flash
Top to bottom: Bitter, the green side of the Riotous duo, bright green side of Fresh Green Mix
(no base, no flash)
(no base, with flash)Fresh Green Mix: mineralized, bright metallic green with nuances of yellow shining through, least vibrant or subdued of the 3 greens swatched, very costly, gorgeous when used wet
Green from Riotous duo: nice vibrant lime green, great pigment and blendability (compared to some other HiP shadows), a veluxe pearl finish (in MAC terms), second most vibrant green of the 3, best value of the 3
Bitter: my favorite lime green, matte, heavily pigmented, the best of the 3 but maybe challenging for the average person to wear of the 3, best color payoff of the 3
If you have either Bitter or Riotous you can skip Fresh Green Mix.
