Amazing! I love this colour and its beautiful pigmentation! It's a Georgeous golden green colour with, luckily, no big chunks of glitter as it is a veluxe pearl finish. Very 'creamy' and goes on nicely. Definitely a good buy!

This is a meduim vibrant green with gold shimmer and a veluxe pearl finish.
I like the vibrancy of this colour I can build it up to be a crazy green! Lol. Def good for adding a pop of colour.

I love green in any shade! Lucky Green is no exception. Lucky Green looks a bit bright in the pan but on my skin (NC40) it makes my eyes look awake. On me, LG is a warm toned shimmery light grass green. I love using LG when I want a change from my usual neutrals but still look appropriate for work/day time. I use LG very conservative by applying to my lid up to the crease area and blending a eggshell high light shade up to the brow bone. I like to finish the look by lining with a brown liner and topping it off with 2 coats of mascara. I find this particular shade is nicely pigmented and blends on the lid with ease.

Let me begin by saying I'm a total neurals girl, but I also LOVE greens -- like humid and sumputous olive... So after the MUA at the MAC counter suggested this, I bought it hesitantly. It has been sitting in my palette for quite some time and I decided to give it a try. LOVE this green -- well, I would call it a chartreuse. It is pigmented, smooth, and blends well. My favorite way to wear it is lucky green on the lid, humid in the crease, and vanilla to highlight. I took off one lippie because I think this shade lacks a lot of versatility. I like e/s that can go with many different looks and I feel like this is a one-trick-pony. Check out my blog for pics:

Wow I love this green. It matches so many colors. Not only greens,but golds, browns and taupe colors. I also love red lipstick. So i want to wear that too. (i don't think this colors suits red, and i think the colors are to bright together) But if i didn't than i would be wearing this every day. I love the combo with woodwinked. Give it a try. Best green ever.

Lucky Green is a gorgeous golden lime green color that leans more golden on my skin. It has some shimmer to it and has the same quality as most other mac eye shadows so it blends smoothly on me and lasts a long time. It's also pigmented but I really have to pack it on to make it appear more green than gold. It is an amazing color and worth checking out but I personally wouldn't repurchase because I don't use it much. I have to mix it with another eye shadow most of the time to keep it from washing me out and looking kind of sickly. When I do use it it's typically close to the base of my eye lashes on the top eye lid.

I adore green eyeshadows, and Lucky Green is one of my favorites. It's a yellow-tinged green that resembles a shamrock (hence the name). The finish and texture are superb. My favorite thing about the eyeshadow is just how wearable it is. Even though it's green, it's not too intense and can incorporated into an everyday look.

This was the first MAC eyeshadow I tried and I loved it from the moment I saw it. It's a beautiful bright yellow-green that can be applied as a soft wash with a fluff brush or packed on with a more dense brush for stand-out color.
It's extremely soft, applies evenly, and blends really easily. The color is really unique and I've found it to be surprisingly easy to wear with a variety of other shades.
I took off one lippie because it does fade throughout the day, so I start out with bright shiny green and end up with a soft matte grass green, but both shades are beautiful. It's a unique color that I reach for way more than I thought I would and it's now one of my favorite shadows. I'd definitely repurchase!

This has to be my absolute favorite green eyeshadow! Even better than MAC's LE Springtime Skipper from their Barbie collection. Its very pigmented & easy to blend. A MUST HAVE if you love green e/s!

I LOVE THIS COLOR!!! Well to start off my favorite color is green, basically most any shades except for snot green. So I had to get this. The quality, like any MAC products is great, and the color is gorgeous! it's so pigmented and smooth. Has a great color payoff! The only think I'm sad about it I can't wear it every day with it being so bright. But I do wear it often for how bright it is. I guess it's better I don't wear it every day, if I did I've go through it so fast!

This is a great, fun summer shade! I love the golden shimmer shot through this shadow, making it very suitable to use with warm browns and peachy champagnes (which are daily staples to me). I find that it brings my eyes to life when I want to make them look greener and as with a lot of MAC shadows, the quality is great! Without primer it lasts most of the day, the pigmentation is just right, and I feel like a flower child with this and Mulch on my eyes. Although I like it a lot, I cannot justify paying it's normal price since I rarely use shades other than brown, bronze and taupe. Hence I will not repurchase, but I will keep it in a special place in my collection for when I feel like dancing barefoot in a patch of grass with a maxi dress. :)

Of the regular MAC shadows I own (about 10), Lucky Green is one of the best. It is a lovely, bright spring green. The shadow is intensely pigmented, and the texture is fantastic. It's buttery, soft, and stays put. I'd recommend this shadow to anyone.

A light shimmery green, goes well with brown eyes. Blends well but tends to reflect a yellow pigment. Blends beautifully with blues and purples.

I bought this eye shadow because out of all the green shades, at the MAC counter, this was the best green for my blue eyes and fair complexion. I'm quite fussy when it comes to eye shadows (especially green shades-cos of my blue eyes) and I can see the uniqueness and good yellow toned green quality of this shade that looks very pretty, fresh and compliments the eyes. However, the pigment is very weak compared to my favourite branded eye shadows (d&g) and the quality of the eye shadow itself isn't up to much. Also, this doesn't come with a mini shading brush or in a pretty compact with miror. So even though at 11.50 GBP it is cheaper than a lot of high ended brands, you do really miss out on all the bonus luxuries that go with the higher price tag. So nice colour, but very average eye shadow imo.

I love MAC to the ends of the earth. I was not pleased with this item. Costs around $15 online or in stores. The pigment is not deep as you would hope. My brushes seem to struggle to pick it up and it takes a lot of packing it on to even show nicely on my fair skin. I prefer the Urban Decay Acid Rain to this (Similar shade but goes on amazing). It might work better for some if used wet, but it's a long shot. Would make a lovely accent color if you can manage to get the color to pick up on your brush and stay. Certainly not one of my favorite shades from MAC.

Very pretty color in the pan but I seemed to have to pack it on to get it's vibrancy to show up on my lids. This could be because of skintone or because of the quality so I'm not deducting a lippie for it, I just won't buy it again becuase I have other green shadows that look better. Also, I noticed this one seemed to have more fallout that the other MAC shadows I've tried so far, so I deducted a lippie for that. The other lippie was deducted because of it's staying power, it seemed to fade quicker than other shadows from MAC as well.


I know people will say "you need to use a primer" (and I do own both TFSI and UDPP) but I think that if you are paying more than drugstore prices, you should expect a better quality product and this did not meet my expectations when compared to other high end eyeshadows. I think $14 for this so-so product is a waste of my money but for some people it might look nice, just didn't work fo me.

This is a fantastic green color. It's deeply pigmented and sightly shimmery; it highlights the green in my eyes without giving me that gaudy, "lime-green" look that most light green eyeshadows do. Like all MAC eyeshadows, it's expensive, but a little bit goes a long way, and one pan lasts for ages.

I have a thing for green eyeshadows. I have really dark eyes and I think that it looks beautiful with them. It's a nice, vibrant but not over-the-top green with a hint of gold. It's really pigmented and I haven't experienced any creasing throughout the day with it. :)

This is a really pretty color. I use it with Satin taupe and All that glitters. Even on its own, as a wash over the eye, works for me too. Love it !
