UPDATE: Zuii is no longer stocked in store.

Green makeup is not easy for everyone to pull off, especially eye makeup. It takes the perfect balance of the right eye colour, the right makeup, the right tools and that sassy twinkle in your eye that shows you're a woman who's confident and can pull off anything! For those with brown eyes, choosing a green makeup shade that's lighter than your natural eye colour gives you the contrast that makes your eyes really stand out.

Not realising quite how popular green eye makeup is, we left the green shades off our first Zuii Organic order and instantly, customers were asking us where all the greens were. Here's a run down on all the green options available in our natural makeup range. Choose one green product to highlight or go all out and make a bold green statement for a night on the town.

Green Mascara

I have no idea why we left this off our opening order, but Zuii do two amazingly bold colours in their organic mascara once you step outside the traditional black and earth tones. The Lapis Blue sold out the day our first order came in, so this time around we have also added the Emerald Green to our range. There's plenty of stock available so we won't run out any time soon.

(UPDATE: we no longer have an organic green mascara available in store. Since this post was written, most brands stopped producing coloured mascara. There is a purple mascara available in the Ere Perez range and it's the only colour we have in store that's not black or brown.)

Green Eyeliner

Once again, we're stepping to the bold statements made by Zuii Organic for an organic eyeliner pencil in green. Many people choose organic eye makeup because traditional makeup irritates their eyes. The areas of the eye where you apply both eyeliner and mascara are particularly sensitive, and even if you don't do the full organic beauty regime, adding a couple of core organic products in your makeup bag is a great idea. And when you do, you don't need to compromise on colour or lasting power.

(UPDATE: while Zuii isn't in store anymore, Inika have a stunning Emerald Green Eyeliner pencil and Ere Perez have a more sedate Forest shade.)

Green Eye Shadow

We have 4 colour palettes with green in our organic eye shadow range, two from Zuii Organic and two from Ere Perez. Zuii is certified organic, Ere Perez is natural. Both are hard powders in a compact.

(UPDATE: finding natural makeup brands that make eye shadow now is difficult. Most eye shade is made overseas and needs to be made in large batches which is not viable for small brands. Since they are just usually mineral powder, selecting an eye shadow from a mainstream brand is your best option)

Organic Eye Makeup Remover

Once your organic eye makeup is on, at the end of the night, you also need to get it off without irritating your eyes. Again, this is an area where some people choose not to go fully organic, but they will always protect their eyes. There are three options in store, two of them may already be in your kit. You can use two pure oils to remove makeup, either coconut oil or jojoba oil does the job really well. The jojoba oil is also a great general face moisturiser and is the hero ingredient in many natural skin care formulas. Jojoba oil is a great multi-tasker, it's the closest oil to the oil we produce in our own skin and you can even use jojoba oil as a lubricant. A bottle of jojoba oil gets you out of all kinds of trouble when you're travelling light.
