Dark green fluidlines or gel eyeliners?

[yana_gim]

Hi, I am looking for very dark and rich green - is the new weed darker than the sweet sage? And what is about the shade? I'm open to another colors which I probably don't even know about, and to other brands (MAC cheater

),
Thanks in advance.

new weed is slightly darker than sweet sage, but they are both mid-greens, but new weed is much prettier, richer and more interesting than sweet sage.
If you want a dark green than it has to be shade - this is seriously the most beautiful fluidline out there and my everyday staple - its like darkened bottle/racing green, very rich and almost black (though if you layer it, the green does become more apparent)

I was at Bobbi Brown yesterday and saw I really dark green gel liner like Mac's fliudline, sorry I can't remember the name though. It was just a dark matte-looking green!!

Shade's beautiful, I got mine through a cheeky wee ebay win I put a low bid on, and boy it's astonishingly pretty. It's also one of the smoother f/l textures out of the ones I've got and applies great: it's a close second to my Blacktrack for general lining at the moment. It's VERY dark green, looks black against a lot of colours. I have green in my eyes and it just adds a little subtle "pop" to 'em without looking overtly like I've got green liner on.

There are two Bobbi Brown gel liners in dark green which I have tried, but don't personally own (was thinking of buying one of 'em, but won't now, since acquiring shade):

- Hunter Ink to me is a little bit more browny/olivey/drab dark green than Shade's very "bottley" tiny-touch-of-blueness uber-dark green.

- Ivy shimmer ink is gorgeous - its more of a soft greenish black gel liner with luxurious, slightly brighter green sparkles throughout it - the shimmer glitter is very finely milled and beautiful.

Have a look here for colours etc of the Bobbi Brown gel liners:-

Personally I found I really didn't care for the Hunter Ink (fine if you want dark khaki, but I didn't), but the Ivy Shimmer is stunning - indeed I think *all* the "shimmer" gel liners from BB are beautiful - I already have chocolate shimmer, and I will almost certainly get the sapphire one at some stage. They are more glittery than MAC shimmer fluidlines I have such as Bitz N Glitz or Macroviolet, and the BB gel eyeliners IMHO last TONNES longer than fluidlines I have to reluctantly admit (my black ink was melt-proof when I wore it in Singapore midsummer humidity, but my f/l I wore the next day just didn't stay as well.) But it depends on what you're wanting: Ivy Shimmer is definitely a touch lighter and a lot "showier" than Shade, its more of a nightime liner whereas Shade is more versatile for everyday... either would be a great choice.

I would love a fluidline version of femme noir. I've stayed away from Shade because of the blue, but if it's really that dark maybe I should give it a chance.

Blue in Shade? It's my fav deep green liner, I've never gotten blue from it?

sorry - when I said "tiny touch of blueness", I meant it's a blue-end-of-the-green-spectrum in comparison with the more khaki greens, which obviously are more yellow/brown-end-of-the-green-spectrum type thing. It really is like the colour of bottle glass. It's purty.
