The glitter is really a bit too much for me, considering I haaate glittery shadows, but other than that an ok color. But I won't buy again.

I am IN LOVE with this color. It's my HC base lid color. I pair with shroom in the brow area and vary the color, but mainly use Tempting in the crease. I would completely freak out if MAC...

I loved this color (can't say I've seen it anywhere else, sadly) BUT the glitter was way too much for me.

I can't help feeling that if this eye shadow had been released by a drugstore brand it would have gotten a much lower rating... it seemed nice when I swatched it on my hand at the mac store, and I...

My skin is fair (NC15), and Retrospeck works a treat. It brings out the eyecolour, but not in a shouty way. The hue reminds me of the healthy gleam one gets on the skin, after a day out in the...

I like this color, I use it as a lid wash, I dont mind the lustre finish, its a nice soft goldish color that gives you that nice awake look. I like to pair it with Bronze, mulch and woodwinked.

For ref: NC15, hazel green eyes, brown hair. I was looking for a champagne colour that I could use as a wash all over my lid and Retrospeck was what she suggested. It accomplishes what I...

I LOVE this eyeshadow, it's one of my faves--I pair it with Romp all the time. It's a little sparkly but understated and I think goes well with a lot of colors.

I like this shadow as an all over lid color. I have pale skin so this definitely shows up on my skin. There is a bit of fall out but it's not that bad with a 239 brush when I pat the color on my...

Retrospeck is a Luster, which means lots of yummy flecks of gold/glitter. Really nice layered on top of other shadows, you can use it as a highlighter. I'd classify it as a bare champagne colour,...

Wonderful! It's very sheer, so if you're looking for a more opaque color - don't get this one. But it's got great shimmer and a slight gold tint. I really like it on the lid with Satin Taupe in...

I really like this eyeshadow. The colour really brings out my eyes (strange green/blue/grey!). It's lovely with a brown shadow in the crease like Tempting or on its own with a black eye liner. I...

I wanted to love this eye shadow but couldn’t bring myself to even like it. Retrospeck was the reason I started shying away from lustre eye shadows. It’s quite sheer, crumbly and messy, does not...
