Meow Cosmetics’ Scarab

I originally didn't expect to be interested in this color. Warm greens and I generally don't do too well. But while I won't be wearing this as an all-over shade…it does make an interesting, highly visible contrast or accent.

I don't know if it's the combination of olive and metallic chartreuse, or if the chartreuse and the olive have enough depth to avoid looking too warm. But this color really surprised me by how much it worked for me. If you'd been looking at Miw and Scarab and couldn't make up your mind, get samples of both and see which one works better for your coloring. (In some ways, Miw is the brighter version of this color.)
