NYX Cosmetics’ Olive Chrome

For something called “olive”...this isn't too olive. It's more like “lime-peel green”, which (to me, at least) lacks the brown/grey undertones to make a green “olive”. Then again, this is another color brought to you by a company that names a bright magenta-pink called “Sunny Day” and a softer pink called “Sunshine”, so I suspect that their color-naming department people occasionally sniff the office supplies - and whatever week they were naming this color, they were still coming down off the high. (Hey, it's at least green.) The pigmentation is okay, but the coverage isn't the world's best. The finish isn't very metallic, and when foiled, this eyeshadow applies a bit patchily.
