160 Shades of Green (Very Pic Heavy!)

If there's one colour I am particularly drawn to in eyeshadows, it is green. Green in its many guises, especially golden greens and olives. Emerald greens are welcome too.

So it may come as no surprise to hear I've got quite a few green eyeshadows in my collection. 160 to be exact (not counting the handful I managed to acquire in the past few weeks!). Which I decided to swatch. My arm was not happy.

Some don't seem so green in my swatches, but I assure you all have greenish hints in real life.

All left to right. No primer, all dry (unless otherwise noted). Swatched using fingers, either swiped or patted on. Various lighting scenarios...obviously all this swatching didn't happen in one day!
