Twister and green eyes

Post by tizzylou » Fri Feb 05, 2010 12:48 pm

I am wondering how Twister looks if you have grren eyes. I love most teals, but if they are a blue teal verus a green teal, they tend to clash with my warm gold skin tones and my green eyes. Is twister something I am going to be able to wear, or is it more cool/blueish in color?

Funny that you ask because I was just thinking about the same thing. I guess it depends on what color green your eyes have! I have always thought of my eyes as green although I now realize that they are hazel (olive green with golden brown in the middle) and for me the blueish teals work decently (they're my "blue" shadows) whereas greener teals don't work as well, even though I am warm toned, because they clash with the green in my eyes. I just got my hands on TGIF and it works beautifully! Do you have that one?

I suppose this means that if Twister works for you it won't work for me and vice versa.

Annika, no I don"t have TGIF so I can't compare, and yup your right if Twister works for one of us, it probably won't work for the other one. My eyes are pretty much a true green, with yellowish gold flecks. I doubt if you can find swatchs of Teal Appeal anymore, I could wear that, but didn"t like the way Poly looked on me, even when used as a liner, it was almost to blue toned for me.

ETA - ignore everything I said, I am thinking of original, sorry. I am such a doofus, lol.

I have greenish/greyish eyes with yellow around the iris, and I can wear twister, there are some pics of my eyes on this page:

If that helps. I am really slow getting swatches up, but will give it a go if I get the chance :)
