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 Iโve 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! ๐
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 Iโve come across yet.
As for the look I did, I call this the Poison Ivy look heheโฆ
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 ๐
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 Iโm all over! If you love green eyeshadow by golly! grab this one. You will not regret it one single bit ๐

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 ๐ what blush and lip color are you using btw?
ParisB says
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 ๐

Thank goodness no She Hulk eh? ๐ Thanks Connie
Jessica says
Poison ivy eh? Heheheโฆ.batmanโs showing up pretty soon then ๐ 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 wasnโt my thing)
ParisB says
mmmโฆ Batman! ๐ Thanks Jessica. These palettes are amazing, and Iโm really happy to discover them. I might go out and buy the blue/grey one now just coz its so awesome!
Sugar says

ParisB says
Thanks Sugar. Green is beautiful and I think Asian skin really pulls of green in many shades very very well. Give it a shot โ you might be surprised ๐
yin says
my super love color- olive green! it is great on you โฆ:)
ParisB says
Thanks! I love all greens ๐
rinnah says
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 redโฆ ๐
ParisB says
Haha! Yes! Iโll go with red hair but the bodysuitโฆ erโฆ maybe not this time ๐
j3nny9irL says
wow! I lurve it! I love how all the greens gets combined into a warmer shade. Unexpectedly actually. Itโs 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 says
Its one of the most beautiful green eyeshadow palettes Iโve come across in a long long time. Shiseido and Dick Page have scored themselves a winner! ๐ Do check it out, you might walk home with it ๐
As for comparisons, I guess you can tell from my gushing which I prefer ๐ I much prefer these Shiseido Trios because they donโt 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 ๐
j3nny9irL says
Alritey!!! haha I know what you mean!!! Goshโฆ I think I should really go check it out. I do have to agree that the greens are beautiful! *drools* ๐
ParisB says
Yupyup! Check it out and see how you like it ๐
gio says
Thatโs a very pretty palette and I love the look you did with it. Greens look amazing on you!
ParisB says
Thank you Gio! ๐
Lisa says
I love this on you! You look so chirpy? and bright-eyed! My last โreallyโ green palatte that worked for me was the Dior Green Design. I think i might just cave in and give this a try.
ParisB says
Like a squirrel? ๐ 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 youโd like this one ๐
Slowbrogal says
Among the other palette, this color look awesome!!
ParisB says
Yup! This one does! Iโm also eyeing the grey one which I think is pretty awesome looking too.
Sam says
So gorgeous! Love the greens- Iโll have to check out my local counter.
ParisB says
Thank you Sam! ๐
Syen says
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 beautifulโฆ =D
ParisB says
Thanks Syen! It IS beautiful ๐ I love the greys on you too!
ksuan says
Oh wow. Stunning! Now Iโm so tempted to try greens on my lids too, thanks for the inspiration ParisB!
ParisB says
Oh do! Greens work beautifully on Asian skin for some reason ๐
