Looks like a softened army green in the pot, but applies as a dusty lilac with green undertones. I personally like the effect, but if one is rushing about the morning routine, grabbing colors for the day…this can be more than a little bit disconcerting. It isn't that the green only shows up when it's applied dry…it's that, wet or dry, it barely shows up at all. I like duochrome eyeshadows (and nail polishes, and blushes) but both colors should show up…not just one. And if only one color of the “duo” or “multi” chrome is far more evident, it shouldn't be the “secret surprise” color.

Meow Cosmetics' Sourpuss is a more successful version of this color - the duochrome shows up better, and it has better color payoff, and even with the new switch to 5-gram jars (1 gram quantity), Sourpuss is a better value than Festive. If you want a version of this color that has more of the green and less of the lilac, try Concrete Minerals' Harlequin.
