NYX Kiwi- Great Green!

I did a green sort of smokey look the other day.  When I got home I realized that I could have done something really hot if I had my NYX Kiwi shadow when doing my makeup... it's the prettiest green ever!  I thought that MAC's Humid did it for me, but this one is where it's at!

So I took my finger and just dabbed some NYX Kiwi over my shadow that I already had on, just to see how it would look (since I have yet to use it after hunting it down like a run  away slave!)

Just wanted to share with you!




I wish I could have compared it to some other greens, but I wasn't thinking.  Rocketqueen did some fab green shadow swatches for me a little while ago.  Check them out and compare here!

I love that shade of green. Green is about the only color (besides purple) that I will use for my eyes (I know, I'm not BIG in to makeup). Looks really nice on you.

I love that green. It looks very good on you too. I love the Rocketqueen swatches that you linked to the site. I'm gonna have to check out that color by Nars.

Hi there!

That shade of green looks great on your skin! It will not work for all complexions though.

Is that green a day-to-evening color or is it strictly an evening eye shadow... or does it just depend on what colors you have on?

That green is so pretty! It's bright but not obnoxious and perfect. I think I'm going to search for it.

@ brooke: really? thanks!!

@ shana: it is right? my mood dictates what colors i wear... =p

@ robyn: thanks! you like night porter? prescriptives has a deep green, gold flecked shadow too. i love hearing from you!

@ seymone: thanks!

@ antithesis: this would like nice with humid and a bit of carbon ;)

@ blackwomenblowthetrumpet: hi! thanks! i would disagree.. i think it works depending on your style.. it's definitely vibrant (great payoff) for most skintones.

for most people it may be an evening shade, but it's definitely how you wear it. for day you may not want it heavily packed onto the lid. i can definitely wear this day or night.

hmmmm, you are making me think of a good post! ;)

@ linda: let us know how you like! love your description of it.

@ amina and makeupbyrenren: thank you!

@ connie: aww you know you want it! LOL!!

@ askmewhats: thanks nikki! i'd love to see you wear it!

This is a beauuuutiful shade of green. I don't have anything like it. And I thought I had the perfect palette of greens ever. I kinda need this one to function.

Tammy said...

Darn you!! Now I NEED to pick this up on my way home. =P

That color is supposedly in the Lilac/Pacific/Kiwi Trio, which I do have. I think it's labeled incorrectly now, b/c mine is not that bright, it darker...
