Meow Cosmetics’ Illegal in 50 States

This is an interesting color: kind of a deep mossy green that leans heavily brown. (Or perhaps vice versa.) At any rate, it's neither a green, a brown, nor a duotone. It's just…interesting. It will not look good on people who prefer warm browns, but it's easily dark enough to make a great liner shade.

Photos that show how the product actually performs...! See how I create my swatches

A montage of three images: top left, close-up of the eyeshadow in the pot; top right, the eyeshadow mixed with water and applied to bare skin; bottom left, the eyeshadow applied dry over primer.

Because of the green tones, you have to be very careful about what highlighters you use with this color, even if they're not right up against each other. Cool green-whites might work, pure whites might work, I'm not so sure about beiges or creams though.
