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! 😀
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…
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.
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 😀

*runs from Xin* Yep! The green is gorgeous I’m loving it!
Greens look lovely on you! I realy liked the olive green shade, it looks amazing!
Thank you Mari, I’m sure greens look lovely on you too! 😉
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?
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 🙂
That’s a great palette, the colors go well together and the look is divine! Prefer this to the Opera trio. May have to go check it out 😀
I much prefer this one to Opera too! Its a gorgeous palette if you love greens 😀
The green goes really well with your new haircolour! 🙂 Great look!
Thanks Foong Jin! 😀
Hehe look damn cute in your pic :p Great job with the green shadow! And I think the lip color matches very well too 🙂
Thank goodness no She Hulk eh? 😀 Thanks Connie
Poison ivy eh? Hehehe….batman’s showing up pretty soon then 😉 You look like a million bucks here! I went to the counter the other day and they are so so buttery to touch and I love most of the trios (the neon green and yellow wasn’t my thing)
mmm… Batman! 😉 Thanks Jessica. These palettes are amazing, and I’m really happy to discover them. I might go out and buy the blue/grey one now just coz its so awesome!
u look REALLY gorgeous! i cant believe how mazing green can look. tho i sure aitn trying anytime soon. lol.
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 😉
my super love color- olive green! it is great on you …:)
Thanks! I love all greens 😀
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… 😛
Haha! Yes! I’ll go with red hair but the bodysuit… er… maybe not this time 😉
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?
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! 😀 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 😉
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* 😛
Yupyup! Check it out and see how you like it 😉
That’s a very pretty palette and I love the look you did with it. Greens look amazing on you!
Thank you Gio! 🙂
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.
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 😉
Among the other palette, this color look awesome!!
Yup! This one does! I’m also eyeing the grey one which I think is pretty awesome looking too.
So gorgeous! Love the greens- I’ll have to check out my local counter.
Thank you Sam! 😀
Wow!!! I will say this trio REALLY works for you babe! Very, very nice. Green really does complement you! And that olive green is just beautiful… =D
Thanks Syen! It IS beautiful 😀 I love the greys on you too!
Oh wow. Stunning! Now I’m so tempted to try greens on my lids too, thanks for the inspiration ParisB!
Oh do! Greens work beautifully on Asian skin for some reason 🙂
