Loved this unique orange shade! It is especially nice layered over a neutral taupe or brown to give a bit of a POP. The gold sparkle is beautiful. While this isn't the most neutral of colors, it definitely can be worked into a neutral palette.
I love this eye shadow, and will buy a a full-size Chlorophyll ASAP!
I thought it would be a harsh, flat, matter orange - no way! It is beautiful, sunny, and reflects gold.
I applies OMGWTF on my lid and Chlorophyll in the crease, blensing upwards. Beautiful! And this coming from someone whose eye makeup collection consisted of taupes + brown eyeliners just a few months ago.
Oh and I got compliments, too! :O)
This shadow is a great quality and has great lasting power & smoothness. On first wearing, I tried this on the lid and also as an outer V highlight and even in the crease, and it made me look tired. I think I need to try this in the inner 1/3 to 1/2 of my lid with a brighter color like a hot pink on the outside 2/3 to 1/2. I think the color combination I used was all wrong. Or, I could wear it with Fire Opal for some nice contrast. The color does look exactly like the color of Cheesy Poofs, Cheetos or Kraft powdered cheese from the blue box of Mac & Cheese with some shimmer and sparkle/sheen to it I'm a MAC NC30 most of the time, that sometimes switches to C3 when very light. I can wear MAC's Old Gold and Golden Lemon fine, and get along fine with their Copper Sparkle pigment and Electric Coral. I am going to reorder this and their new Electric Koi, and then I will update!

I gotta say this is the orange I've been looking for. Its amazing for a sunset look and usually wear this with yellow and red. Great for fall!
Wow. Uh...Chlorophyll is...uh....orange. Not golden firey orange like MAC Firespot. Not a light peachy orange like NYX Orange. But powdered-cheese-used-to-make-Kraft-blue-box-mac-and-cheese orange. I think all Fyrinnae did was dump some of that stuff in a jar, mixed in some gold shimmer, and called it a new color. Not that this is a bad thing, I guess. It's definitely unique. I've never seen another e/s this color. (I don't think I've ever seen another OBJECT this color PERIOD, except for the Kraft. And perhaps a Crayola crayon.) It does go on nicely and has a pretty shimmer. It's a good shadow. But man, this color...I just don't know what to do with it. I find it to be too much to use as a wash. I tried it in the crease with Rapunzel, and that was okay. I think the most use I'll get out of this is as an occasional accent color with neutrals. Kraft..I mean Chlorophyll... is definitely NOT for the faint-of-heart. I doubt I'd repurchase this. I'm a Velveeta fan, myself.
Skin Type: Normal to dry, tans easily, rarely breaks out. Skintone: LLL (olive skin tone) Haircolor: Changes frequently Right now, dark cool brown with red and caramel highlights. Eye Color: Espresso brown.

Chrorophyll reminds me of Eric Cartman’s love for Cheesy Poofs. Ok, it looks like Cheetos. The color is a shimmery cheddar cheese orange. If I left this jar of shadow in the cupboard, it would be sprinkled on top of hot popcorn! It is bright and vibrant yet has depth and brilliance like a summer sunset. The color goes so well with Roflcopter eyeliner. Layered atop it, the staying power and color lasts throughout the day and into the night. Used alone, it provides a sheer pop of color to a neutral palette. Use sparingly if you are timid, or just splash it on if you want attention. Either way, this color does not exist anywhere except maybe the grocery aisle. But, thanks to Fyrinnae, it is now available for your face!
