Of these, MBA Cosmetics Emerald is probably the most true green. Also, this is the Sugar Babies formula of their Emerald, which is more of a super pigmented gloss than a lippy, but from what I can tell, the Emerald Color Rich Lipstick they offer is exactly the same shade.
Melt Blow is pretty close in tone to Emerald, but Blow has a much deeper shade. It's more of a jungle green than Emerald. Blow is super pigmented and goes on true to the colour in the tube in one swipe, but I do find the formula a bit drying. I don't actually have a picture of me wearing Blow just on it's own. This photo has Sugarpill Goldilux patted over it.

OCC Rime is a green with a lot of blue undertones. I guess I would call it sea-foam green. This has also has a rose gold mica or something in it that gives it a really nice, subtle shift. I think this is probably the one out of the bunch that I wear most frequently.

Fyrinnae Narwhal Nuzzles is probably the least green that's still mainly green. It's more of a turquoise. It's a really lovely colour, but I find the formula difficult because it's so slippery that it's hard to get it to go on the lips without looking sort of patchy in places. For this reason, I always wear this over a liner, usually black or blue.
OCC Derelict is definitely green, but it's a khaki or olive green. It has a golden sheen to it but a very grey undertone. I do wear this one a lot more often than I thought I would. Despite being green, it's very wearable possibly because of it's the sort of colour that I think of as a nude/neutral. And also, I have very green undertones so I don't think it looks out of place on my face.

OCC Wasabi is the brightest here. It's a spring/yellow green. I don't really think the camera picked up quite how eye searingly bright this colour is, but it is so bright. If I want to completely remove the red from my lips, this is the colour I go for. I mainly use this to do ombre lips and I think it works really well for that.

I hope this is helpful. I know I enjoy seeing other people's colour comparison posts as it helps me figure out if I already have a similar colour. What's your favourite green lipstick?
