I don't know what took me so long to get this e/s. I have most of the MAC shadows from the regular line or at least 70% so I don't know why Greensmoke never caught my eye. Well, the other day I was helping my friend depot her e/s and I saw it. I thought it was gorgeous so I knew I had to get it! I finally did and WOW!!! I created the most gorgeous green smokey eye with it. Greensmoke really is the best name for this color because it does create a sultry smokey but yet green eye look. I can't wait to use it again!
Recently got this as an early Christmas gift and I love it. I don't own many MAC products but I do LOVE this e/s. It's the perfect silvery green that looks amazing paired with brown e/s. I have brown eyes and this makes them stand out. I like to use a green cream e/s under it and then apply it wet. It's gorgeous!!! I will definitely repurchase this if I ever finish it.
I used to really love this color, the green does amazing things for my green eyes, but personally I'd look better in a warmer green, instead of the silver shimmer in this one.
I love greensmoke - makes a lovely smoky eye (I'm quite fair) without being too OTT for day. It's quite sheeny, with a bit of sparkle, and a very flattering mid-green/gold/grey-ish colour. I find it easier to layer and blend than a lot of other MAC shadows and it lasts longer too. Their Tarnish pencil really vamps it up if you want more impact...
i got it from a giftset that comes with clubbing event door crasher.. guess green eyeshadow isn't suitable for everyone.
well, it looks tourquise, shiny, metallic green, i put it away for a while then use it as a eyeliner= wow!!! great result, intensive color, shiny green that shimmering with light as you walk.i didnt put any eyeshadow on, and i got a sophisticated look. btw,, i have brown eyes, black eyes and soft beige skin tone. i am guessing it is suitable for any skintone as long as you don't put too much on. can use it wet and dry, i have VERY oily eyelids that smudges, crease in like 3 hours, but this wonder babe last all day.
I adore this e/s. I can see it being difficult to work with because the texture is rather grainy. I love using my 224 brush to blend on outer V and give me a smokey look. Love pairing this with Juxt, Sumptuous Olive, and Femme Noir for a super sexy smokey green eye.

I adore greensmoke, it's one of my couldn't-live-without-it greens. Looks beautiful as a more colourful alternative to the usual black smokey eye. Also looks great used on the outer lid with more neutral colours on the rest of the eye.
A fantastic colour for anyone with hazel eyes, really brings them to life.
Despite it being a lustre, it doesn't seem to have much glitter fallout and blends nicely.
Definitely a winner.
I have warm brown eyes and through the boards was told that this would be a great shadow for me. Well...they were right! However, I found that this shadow did not blend very well, and after wearing it all day, it looks grayish and creases slightly. For those reasons, I gave it a 3 out of 5, but I do really love the unique color and the way it compliments my eye color.

Pretty eyeshadow- a sparkly olive green. While this is a pretty color, I find the color payoff and the staying power not so great :( It takes quite a bit of (colored) base and brush technique to get this color to show up well on me-- too much hassle ime.
