Here's the thing. I ordered Aromaleigh's Make your eyes POP-kit for green eyes. I was very excited about the shades. The kit included:
Sage (frost): a delicate sage-green frost for highlighting.
Campanula: a subtly warm brown with coppery and silver highlights for all over lids.
Lilypad: a frosted green shade for crease
Drama Violet: an amethyst shade for eyeliner.

I wanted to do this look "by the book" so I used all the colours in the kit how they should be used. What I realized right away as I was putting on Campanula was that the shade is too "dirty" for me. On AL's website it almost look as light lavender but on the lid it's a very brown shade. I was dissappointed because dirty browns make me look ill. But I decided to complete the look.
The expressions says it all. Okay, my eyes looked a bit greener but I would have wished for purer shades. Don't get me wrong, al these shades are usable but not together for me, anyways. Especially as Lilypad is such a strong teal and Sage is a very fresh light green, it makes Campanula look like the odd one out. The eyeliner is a gorgeous purple but I had some difficulties getting the stuff through the sifter.
As you can see, the colours are almost camouflage-like. It doesn't work for my colouring. And my, is my nose HUGE or what *lol*
So this experiment didn't go as well as I hoped. But I love the colours, I just have to use them separately. Or I could replace Campanula with Orchid. Hmmm..
I love the smoothness of the lipstick, btw. The colour looks almost grey but it's a nice subdued pink. I have to be careful with it, though not to look washed out.
Have you ever tried kits for certain coloured eyes? How did it go?
