i love this color! it's a beautiful green that makes my dark brwn eyes pop. it's a bit sheer so i can understand why some people have to layer it on to make the color more obvious. it's only 3 bucks and it's worth every penny:)

I can't believe Milani shadows, sometimes! They're inexpensive even by drug store standards ($3 a pot) but the colors are amazing, the textures are silky, and the pigmentation is generous. I'd been meaning to try this shadow based on the reviews here. It looks exactly as everyon's described: a deep, olive-sheened brown. My light brown eyes are spoiled by this, it makes them look so much more distinctive than they have any right to be.

I would have never bought this color if it weren't for the reviews here. The previous reviews describe the color pretty acurately. It just looks stunning on brown eyes. You can make it as light as you want it or as deep as you want it and it has wonderful staying power. Highly recommend.

I love this color, although a bit tough to describe. I would call it a khaki meets gold meets olive drab-maybe. This color, like most all Milani colors can be used wet or as a liner. It has a great versatility to it-can't beat the price either! Definitely a keeper :)

I'm middle aged; NW 20, with green eyes and medium brown hair. This has been my HG eyeliner for years. Good staying power. Brings out all the nuances in my eye color, goes witrh a myriad of shadows, and both peach and plum toned blush and lipstick. Almost identical to La Douce (or Irma la Douce) by Stila, but flakes in the case more easily and not as hard packed.

This color changes from green to greenish gold to a rot of taupey kahki with glitter on me. I don't use it very often, but when I do, I always like it. It's a little bit too shimmery for me during the day, but I love it at night. Milani shadows are fabulous. For me, they last as well as MAC pigments, but at a much lower price.

This is a very sharp olive green with shimmer that looks GREAT paired with other green shadows. Very decent pigment.

This is a great color. I'll have to try it as a liner. Just a very unique olive with hints of yellow and brown. Love it!

Love it! Gorgeous and unique olive green with golden shimmer. Really makes my green eyes pop. Works great as a liner too. Great find.

This is a beautiful and unique eye shadow color that makes my brown eyes look amazing. If you have brown eyes, buy this immediately, you need it in your make up collection

Antique Gold applies as an olive green with some gold shimmer. Milani shadows feel like silk. They blend very easily and are really cheap too. Unfortunately this is too sheer for my taste. It just looks dirty on my lids unless I really lay it on. But with heavy application, its a beautiful green with gold shimmer.



For reference I have medium-light warm toned skin with dark brown eyes and black hair.

this is an amazingly flattering and highly pigmented shimmery gold/brown/olive color i found from milani after experimenting with all their shadows. it suits my dark hair/blue eyed/very fair complexion really well.

Just purchased this and I really like it as a liner. I wet it and smooth it over black liner and it really lights up my eyes. As an eye shadow, it looks too muddy for my medium complexion.

I love the color, based on the reviews here I knew it would look great with my eyecolor. The only downside is that it migrates into my crease when I only want it on my lid ARGGGH...still, its cheap and an awesome color so I will keep on buyin it.

Superb product. I read in the Fall addition of Cosmo, that you are suppose to match your shadow to all the tones in your eye color to achieve maximum impact. Ok, so I have alway considered my eyes to be "khaki" brown-green. This shadow is an exact match. Very smooth and velvety. I complement it with dark brown in the crease, and gold in the inner corner(I use Tiki from MARK) that I have applied moistened with a brush. Overall great product. I too wish it were easier to find. I live in a town of 100,000, and only one Walgreens carries it!

This has HG status for me, though not in the same way as Shroom (which I find more versatile/everyday). This is a lookalike for MAC Sumptuous Olive. Not sure how to describe the color - a deep khaki green with gold shimmer? It's a beautiful color and among the most pigmented of the Milani collection. I use this on the outer V, when I use gold eyeshadow as a wash. Awesome color - too bad Milani is hard to find where I live :( BE 1.2/NC30/Asian/Yellow skintone/brown eyes.

I love this green-gold frost. It pairs well with anything, today I have it on with MAC Sunsplosion. It's long lasting, blends well and goes on evenly. What more can I say, for under $3 it's very necessary for any collection.

I hate Milani's packaging so I depot to avoid breaking a nail while opening.

I love this color! This is a golden khaki green and shows up beautifully on my chocolate skin. I sometimes pair this with golden bronze, clover or sun goddess. Milani eyeshadows are excellent quality for a cheap price. Oh yeah, DDD here.

I have reddish brown hair with copper highlights, medium skin and brown eyes with flecks of green. This is my color, this neutral green khaki gold -- makes my eyes look reddish and green at the same time.

Wet n Wild used to make an eyeliner in this color, my favorite makeup item since I was 12 years old--18 years ago. I haven't been able to find it for years, but this Milani shade is even better b/c it's shadow. Great product for the dirt-cheap price. I've been wearing this everyday for weeks now.
