I adore this colour. It's a bright pale green, almost a lime green in the pan, but is really wearable. Applied as a sheer wash it's a beautiful but subtle shimmery green/gold. Built up, or even better applied wet, it's drop dead gorgeous - eye-catching and striking. Love this colour because it's not too dark - it adds a pop of vibrancy w/out necessarily being OTT. Works great over Smog eyeliner but it works really well with a variety of colours, I've worn it with Blunt, Shattered, Roach, even Stalker once (lol!). And of course it goes on smoothly, blends well, and is as well-pigmented as all UD eyeshadows. No glitter (for me this is a Good Thing) but wonderful shimmer.

I think this is one of the most versatile of UD shadows because it can be sheer or dense, the level of impact is up to you. Whether you love the spectrum of UD eyeshadows or not, I truly believe this product has a place in everyone's collection. If you like green or gold, obv.

I really love htis eyeshadow. I just got it a few weeks ago and it's already made its way into my top eight-ish favorites ever. I have light, yellowy brown eyes and wear this with Mildew; it looks really nice, and I get a lot of compliments on it. My favorite this week is Mildew with this as a thin layer over it; it really brings out my eye color. I'd repurchase forever :)

SWeet, highly pigmented color. I like to use this in the crease to blend my highlighter and darker color on my lid. The color is unexpected and really can punch up regular old brown on the lid. Love it.

I'm a big fan of neutrals and hardly ever wear bright eyeshadow, and I seriously love this eyeshadow. It goes on my lids as a really beautiful pale golden light green with a beautiful sheer/irridescent quality. I love this one for summer or for going out at night. It goes really well with midnight cowgirl, stila kitten, and mac steamy. If you only really need one or two bright/fun eyeshadows for your collection this one is great, and if you love greens and brights in general then definitely check this one out.

This is one of my favorite UD shadows, though I have cheaper MAC dupes. The texture is nicer than the MAC ones I have, though, which is what brings me back.

A gorgeous pale yellow-green eyeshadow. It is slightly shimmery(no chunky glitter) nicely pigmented. but smooth and easy to sheer out as a wash. I think this is the perfect green for any blue/green eyed girls or for those whose eyes have gold flecks...it really picks up the color in your eye. I am really loving this for spring and have been wearing it with the NARS wicked duo. For evening line with UD liguid e/l in Chains (exact same color as acid rain) and it really makes a great nightime look. Good quality and texture, would definitely repurchase. For refernce, PPP redhead with bl/gr eyes.

Out of the four e/s that came in my UD palette, this is the only one that I liked. It's a bright lime-green, somewhere between yellow and green. It's a shimmery shade, though not quite as shimmery as MAC frosts or VP--but it's definitely not matte. This pairs very well with both greens and golds, and and with other pastel shades. I'll be buying this in a pan form when I run out

Acid Rain came in a UD palette and it looked very intimidating upon first glance! This bright lime green was definitely not a color that I would have chosen for myself (I'm a NC35). However, I was pleasantly surprised when I used this on my brown eyes. This color made my eyes POP and accented my brown eyes like I had never seen before. My husband, who rarely ever comments on my makeup, said, "Your makeup looks pretty today" but like the guy he is, he could not pinpoint exactly what it was that he liked. Well, AR was the only new item I was wearing that day. I'm considering stockpiling this just in case UD ever decides to discontinue or reformulate it!

The PERFECT green eyeshadow. When I purchased this I had no idea how much usage it would it. I pair it with blues, browns, pinks and purples. I use it wet for an intense look or dry to give my eyes that shimmery goddess look. Perfect greenish yellow. I screamed when it hit the floor and broke. I did manage to save a huge chunk but plan to repurchase.

I thought Acid Rain was a horrible yellow color until I got it home and put it on. Its soooo cool! I wear it alot, and I think it looks good with a tan. The bright green may not suit too many people, especially the ones going for the "natural" look. I think this color looks very punk and it is one of my faves.

this looks exactly like the discontinued otl in tart. i already have that, and like it, but this goes on much thicker. i don't know if i love it or not, but it is incredibly smooth and pretty. looks very good with the grifter eyeshadow in the side show face case. this has no glitter, and is is bright green with golden hues.

This is a lovely and pigmented shimmery light yellow-green, and it's way more versatile than you'd at first think, probably because it's so light.

Looks great with my brown eyes and LLL NC20 skin. Pairs well with many colors - browns, golds, neutral beiges. If I want to liven up a more neutral look this is a great option. I think it would work with many different skin colors, although probably best for those with warmer skin.

Lovely texture and pigmentation, and something I'd repurchase.

I have had this for several years now and only wear it occasionally as it is very much an occasion es for me. The pigmentation is absolutely amazing and it stays put for many hours! One the downside, mine broke pretty early on so I open it with terror! Its great though and well worth the fear :)

My first ever UD e/s and what converted me forever. :D Imagine my disappointment when it broke! Acid Rain is a shimmery yellow-green, looks great with either El Dorado or Chains. It lasts forever, doesn't crease on my oily lids, and is really easy for a dunce like me to work with. ;) Two thumbs waaay up.

This lovely light shimmery chartreuse is very reminiscent of MAC’s Metamorph, but slightly less silver. Wonderful silky texture and the pigmentation is phenomenal! I have this in a Face Case and I am astonished at how wearable it is. I probably won’t re-buy just because I already have Metamorph and light greens don’t look too stellar on me. But other than that - great product!

I love this shadow.

For some reason, UD shadows seem to be hit or miss. The colors with glitter, tend to have a dryer texture, and are less pigmented. Gladly, this dosen't have glitter. This is the silky and pigmented type that lasts forever. It's a metallic pale green. This looks Great with Shu ME green 555.
