At first I found this a little hard to work with as it is highly reflective on my lids, and not much of the green was apparent. However, once I started using paints as bases, the green started to show through. Before that, it showed up as mainly golden which was disappointing.

It's a gorgeous neutral and I use it with Naturalism and similar coloured paints and it has become one of my favourite low-key neutral eye looks.

Love this colour. Came with my holiday delights palette but is a really nice olive colour. Goes well with alot of colors or on its own. I love the texture and blends really well

I had my sister get this one for me and several weeks later, it came out in one of the holiday palettes. I love this shade so much though that I didn't mind. I use this quite often, especially with All that glitters. I also use it to "punch" up my eyeshadow if it's looking a little lacklustre. This shadow is my neutral eye staple.

This is my most used color and my favorite. I love greens and this was my first green e/s. It looks great when you're doing a smokey green eye or even with a nice brown e/s.

I love this color! It's in a quad by itself and sometimes it gets buried underneath my 15 pan paletts and I forget about it. I've been wearing it a lot lately now that I've rediscovered it. My favorite is to wear this on my lid, night lights pigment in my crease and ricepaper as a highlight. I received my first compliment on my eyes from two different MAC employees last Sunday with this combo, so I knew I must've done something right!

This was my latest purchase at MAC, and I love this colour sooooo much! It's a beautiful gold/dark green colour! I wear it so often now, definitely one of my new favorite additions to my 15pan pallete

Would you buy this product again? Don't think so.

This should be the perfect colour for me, but i find it SO hard to use. It makes my lids look so reflective. I don't know, it just doesn't seem to do anything for my eyes. Which is annoying because its such a gorgeous colour

I like pairing Sumptuos Olive with a really bright bottom lid liner.

This is my most used mac shadow ... i use it almost everyday at work ... its the perfect goldy/greeny/Metallic yet its neutral enough on my NC30 skin to not look disco.

Love it!

I love this color with all my heart! It's one of my top favorites. This color is definitely an olive with hints of gold and brown. I use it on my lid and crease and it reflects those three colors at once. People always ask how many e/s am I using because it looks gold on the inner corner, green on the lid, and brown on the crease.

When I'm in a hurry, I apply this color and line my eyes with blacktrack fluidline or teddy eyeliner. Other times I use this color on the crease with Juxt on the lid and it makes my light brown eyes look green!

This was one of my first MAC shadows and I have to hand it to those MA's.. they sure know how to match colors for makeup newbies. I used this for ages as a neutral but with a slight kick of color! My first adventure outside of light browns... and it's so wearable and easy to use even a dummy like I was back then could use it. A nice wearable sheen, amazing shade and pigmentation, lasts forever like all MAC shadows.

This is a beautiful color but just not right for me..I'm a NW 35 and I much more prefer humid. SO just doesn't have enough 'POP' yet it's not subtle enough for a low key look. Shame it doesn't work for me b/c it's such a pretty eyeshadow!

I like to wear Naked Lunch on the lid and Sumptuous Olive in the crease.  I also wear this with Crosswires.

This is one of my favorite shadows and I found it by accident. It goes on like butter and just makes my green eyes pop when used with other browns or Copperplate (I use it on the ball of my eye when I use Coquette). Just love this color.

One of my first greens, it glides on perfectly, spruces up a neutral eye and overall a fantastic addition to any collection. I love using it with woodwinked on the lid and having sumptuous olive in the crease and outer v.
