Its a Jungle out there with Shiseido Luminizing Trio Eyeshadow GR305

When I showed you the picture of the Shiseido Jungle eyeshadow trio, I asked you how it might work without turning the everyday woman into the She-Hulk.

I love greens and the greens in this trio are no exception. They are beautiful! Probably one of the best collections of green eyeshadow I’ve seen in a long while. So I experimented and played around and to my surprise, there is enough depth and highlight in what seems to be 3 intense colours, to make it work! :D

Here are the swatches on the back of my hand, swatched with my fingers. Like the Shiseido Opera trio, I suggest that you use eyeshadow brushes to get the most out of this palette.

Swatched with the sponge and fingers, it applies very sheer but with a brush, you get lovely colour intensity. The brush included in the palette works just as well. One of the better in-palette applicators I’ve come across yet.

As for the look I did, I call this the Poison Ivy look hehe…

Eeks! I don't look like me! I look like an anime character! No photoshop, I don't know how -_-

It was very simple. Olive green in the outer edge of the lid and along the lash line, middle green in the middle of the lid and the light shade on the inner corner and blended along the outer edge of the eye towards the brow. To cheat a little, and to deepen the intensity of colour along the lash line, use a dark eyeliner and lots of perfect mascara :)

The colours look intense in the pan, and they are intense on skin too. They swatch like buttah! And there is sufficient shimmer to keep things interesting yet not too shimmery to turn you into a discoball.

Pros: Lovely intense colour when used with a brush, Lovely trio of green eyeshadow, Creamy smooth texture and blends like a dream

Cons: None because I love this one

I know I managed to make the Opera trio work, with a bit of imagination, but this! This one, Jungle is what I’m all over! If you love green eyeshadow by golly! grab this one. You will not regret it one single bit :D

I was really looking forward to your FOTD with this palette and you look lovely in it! I just might have to go pick this up soon :) what blush and lip color are you using btw?

ParisB November 15, 2010 at 10:37 am

Thank you Lilian! I believe the blush might have been either Smashbox Illusion Softlights or Chanel Pink Explosion and the Lip Colour is the Lancome Creme Brilliance in Exotic Orchid :)

Thanks Sugar. Green is beautiful and I think Asian skin really pulls of green in many shades very very well. Give it a shot – you might be surprised ;)

Phweeet! You look sexy with greens! Now all you need is the matching Poison Ivy nude bodysuit with strategically placed ivy leaves and amp up the color of your hair to fiery red… :P

Haha! Yes! I’ll go with red hair but the bodysuit… er… maybe not this time ;)

j3nny9irL November 15, 2010 at 3:13 pm

wow! I lurve it! I love how all the greens gets combined into a warmer shade. Unexpectedly actually. It’s so hard to really get that Perfect Green Shade rite. I love this.

Btw this is off topic but, referring to the price, it seems cheaper than the Anna Sui Duo Eyeshadows. How do you compare it and which do you prefer most?

ParisB November 15, 2010 at 3:19 pm

Its one of the most beautiful green eyeshadow palettes I’ve come across in a long long time. Shiseido and Dick Page have scored themselves a winner! :D Do check it out, you might walk home with it ;)

As for comparisons, I guess you can tell from my gushing which I prefer ;) I much prefer these Shiseido Trios because they don’t have that funny silicone texture and they are beautiful and pigmented yet not too strong so as to scare you away. Also you get 3 colours for the price. I think even the math agrees ;)

j3nny9irL November 16, 2010 at 1:13 am

Alritey!!! haha I know what you mean!!! Gosh… I think I should really go check it out. I do have to agree that the greens are beautiful! *drools* :P

I love this on you! You look so chirpy? and bright-eyed! My last ‘really’ green palatte that worked for me was the Dior Green Design. I think i might just cave in and give this a try.

Reply

ParisB November 15, 2010 at 7:23 pm

Like a squirrel? ;) Thank you Lisa. I did not get the Dior Green Design one because of that cream liner thing, and because the greens were a bit more muted and shimmery. I think you’d like this one ;)
