Peridot:

Technological Accents: Integrate metallic and neon green eyeshadows to reflect Peridot's gemstone color.

Use eyeliner in angular shapes or circuit board patterns to give a futuristic and technological vibe.

Incorporate small gem-shaped rhinestones or metallic studs to represent Peridot's love for technology.

Lapis Lazuli:
