I'm not going to knock my review on this product back for the fact that I'm not that crazy about the color on me. This is a very high quality eyeshadow....soft, pigmented, blendable. It's just that this frosty, medium grayed out green doesn't work very well with my coloring, clashing with my skin tone and not doing anything to accentuate my eye color. I should have left well enough alone....Ulta's Olive shadow is my HG green/gray shadow of all time....I can't imagine I will ever find another shadow that looks better. Maybe my daughter will like it better than I do.

I really like this addition to the world of green shadow. Usually it is common to find a forest green or gold greens, not one in this unique hue. This is a mossy grey-green shade that can be worn sheer or built up for a nice alternative for a colored smoky eye. I think this would blend great with browns, greys, taupes and even black. I think this shade is pretty unique with a nice consistency and possibility. I would recommend this for your collection. The price is also very affordable.

This is a unique green that really fits the name "Green Tea" well. I'm having a hard time describing it. . . it's a cool shimmery grass green. What I really love about this color is that it really looks different depending on how much you pack on. When I really pack it on well over a good primer, it becomes extremely intense. LOVE IT!

This is a very unique and beautiful shadow:

color: neutral dark grayed forest green. pairs well with many different colors. beautiful as a liner - I'm wearing today as a liner with CG tapestry taupe on lid and it looks great.

texture: very pigmented, silky - not exactly matte, but not shimmery or frosty. Can be worn sheer or built up. The shadow is quite soft and powdery, and has the tendency to crack a bit in the pan, also the brush picks up a lot of excess shadow with minimal pressure - but at the price these are minimal complaints and easy to work around.

wear: with UDPP as base, it wears all day without fading or creasing.

would certainly buy again!

UPDATE: this review is for the color in the trio packaging. I just received the single of this ES and it is a completely different color - the single is much lighter, almost a seafoam green!

This is a lovely medium green that is neither too cool nor too warm. Works with lots of other shades, especially taupes. I like to use it for a smokey eye, but this is also a green that you could get away in lots of conservative environment - it is very soft. I wear it over a base, as none of the NYX shadows are quite pigmented enough on me without one. Lasts a long time without creasing. It is a little powdery, but shaking the excess off the brush solves that easily. One of my favorite NYX shades, and such a great value!

This is the first NYX eye shadow that I purchased. I'm normally not a green girl but this color made me fall in love with green shadows. It's a nice deep green shadow that really makes my brown eyes pop and it's silky and blends really well. Very pigmented even without a base and lasts a long time too without a base. Packaging is pretty cute too! Definitely buying more NYX colors!

This cool-toned green is great for a smoky eye with black liner. I love this buttery-smooth pigment-packed formula and super cute name! (i love green tea hehe). Awesome low price, too--what a steal!

I normally dont wear greens, but this one caught my eye. The pigmentation of the shadow is great. It is so smooth and definately comparable to MAC. I received many compliments on my shadow the last time I wore this shade. It is cool enough to receive compliments from total strangers regarding your makeup, but numerous strangers is pretty cool!

Very pretty color green on me (pale, brown eyes). I really like this color green on myself and typically I shy away from greens. This can be put on lightly or built up for a bolder color.

I must be spoilt but I did not like this e/s. I did not like the color or the texture. Texture seems very thin and powdery and it does not have enough pigment. I end up with that yuky powdery feeling on my lids when I have to pack the color so much. The pigment is ok when it is wet but then the color is metallic. I remember canadian brand Annabelle having similar color in Amazon trio and I much prefered that one becuase it was not so powdery.

This is a beautiful forest green that can go from office wear (dry) to a vivid night look (wet), depending on how you wear it. It is not a shadow I reach for often, but it is there when I want to wear something a little different.

I really love this color- I usually tend to stay away from bold greens, blues, and purples but this one caught my eye and wouldn't let me go. It's the perfect green- can be swiped lightly for just a wash of color, or applied with a wet brush for a bold statement. I rarely wear this color, but when I do I am reminded as to why it's a favorite.

this is my first time here at MUA and i stumbled across this page abt NYX.i was reading abt the review for BEANIE eyeshadow and thought WOW i gotta get me some of that! i immediately looked to find the nearest place to buy it from,but then i realised that one of the "cheapo" shops in the city have it. i had a funny feeling abt this brand,so i went to look through my makeup case which has tons of eyeshadows ive never used,funnily enought i found NYX Green Tea. I was so excited to try it on and here i am sitting here wanting to let you ladies know how fantastic this colour is. i have hazely green eyes and this looks fantastic on all over the lid with a black eyeshadow in the corners.it creates a nice smokey evening look.im definatelly gonna be using this more often.i love it. im off to buy some more tomorrow :D

Cool toned green eyeshadow with blue undertones, with a silky smooth texture. The color didn't really suit my complexion, so I swapped it.

Cute packaging...that's what got me to buy it. (And the cheap price but then I found out why). Color's beautiful, but it doesn't stay on very well. The powder wears off pretty quickly and I have to reapply. Funny thing...some of it spilled in my sink. When it's combined with water, it's almost impossible to scrub off. I tried to wipe it off and it left streaks in my sink and now I have to try find something that'll scrub it off.

Green Tea definitely belongs in my "unique e/s" category! An interesting forest green w/ gray undertones, this looks great in the crease or as a liner. I like to pair this with a shimmery peach on the lid or a similar neutral. Pigmentation is great, long-lasting, and doesn't crease on my oily lids! One of my prettiest greens!

I am MMM Asian w/yellow undertones. It does have a bit of shimmer. The pigment is very good so I generally just tap lightly on it and add on if I want more intensity. Not my color.

I would describe Green Tea as being a dark mint/forest green hybrid with a slight hint of grey. This is one of the more unique NYX eye shadow colours; I’ve never seen a green eye shadow similar to Green Tea (and believe me, green eye shadows are my passion!)
I love to use this colour as a liner with other green shadows.
