Actually, I was thinking you might see the green more if it was lighter. Army green really is a blend of mostly brown and some green. I think for you, it likely just reads mostly brown. It tends to read a little greener on warmer and/or darker skintone.fluttershy wrote: Ohh, that helps a ton! I've actually used it a couple times specifically as an eyeliner - I've never let a SN color go to waste.
I took several pictures in natural light, but I had trouble with the color like you said. I'm still getting the hang of swatching, it's tricky! This is a super helpful tip with taking "true to life" colors. Even in the natural light for me though, I really didn't see much in the way of green or army green, but that's okay. Maybe a thicker application will help?

If you put it in the crease and blend it out it's a great colour to make a green smokey eye, especially if you pair it with some sparkly eye shadows. The contrast can really bring out the colour.
