Urgent!! Please help!

Hi! I just had a look at the black/green tutorial by Abisshh and I'd like to know if you have any recommendations for a substitute of Emerald Green piggie. I only have a Mac counter here, so no Pro products. Thanks so much for your help!

I think Humid is the closest eye shadow to Emeral Green piggie.

I'd agree Humid would be an nice subsitute. They are not exact dupes of each other but Humid is nice! One of my faves. Maybe UD will have something closer.

I agree with Humid, I think humid is a tad deeper than emerald green (which on me, is a bit more vibrant and a brighter green than Humid).

Thanks everyone! Do you think a look like this would be nice for me? NW20 (25 in the summer), hazel eyes, light brown hair. I have a special occasion next Sunday and I'll be wearing a kind of "acid" green shirt.

You will look great!

If your shirt's an acid green, maybe have a look at "Bitter", too? It works well alongisde Humid.

Thanks again. Last question: which blush do you recommend? Neutral colours to be paired with greens?

I generally wear pinks with green. I used to do light brown l/s and a soft brownish blush until I went to work for M.A.C. they almost always pair the greens with pinks. You can take a look at my FOTD and you will see what it looks like. It is titled Late Birthday FOTD. I am wearing humid in the inner crease.

I think both pinks or coral/peachy colors work with greens

For softer pinks for your complexion try blushbaby or dame
For a nice coral/peach, try peachykeen or melba (with a gentle hand) - both of these have pink in it so that it won't be too orange to go with the green eye look

Thanks to you both, Makeupgal and Me Jelly! You're very kind indeed! I do have Well Dressed and Melba, I'll try both!
