A beautiful colour. I like it because it has a slight goldness to it rather than being a flat green. It looks good on my NW 43 asian skin and brings out my brown eyes. I love! I got this in Freshwater which is a cool blue and the formula seems slightly different, the pigment isnt as fine and when I used it wet it dried to a flakey mess. Not as nice as Teal

Another color that isn't bad... Just not very unique to me. Rather flat actually. It is pigmented... but I don't think it's good enough to be so expensive.

this teal pigment is so beautiful omg where do i begin. it gives this really wonderful effect and can look elegant. i can only describe this in one word. elegant. its one of my fav's and i give this number 1, then i would say mac tan pigment is second best. teal can look so attractive but as i have said it really does make you look elegant when you've done all your face make up. i love doing a smokey look with this, i use teal on eye lid all over then outer creas i smoke it out with dark navy blue, black, or chocolate brown, and highlight i use mac msf in perfect topping. just perfect product that lasts you long time and is worthit to purchase 100%. love love love teal.

I LOVE this pigment! The color that goes on your lid is the exact color in the jar -- no need to apply this pigment wet. It is the most perfect, true shade of teal I have found in an eyeshadow. It doesn't make too much of a mess because it is not loaded with tiny sparkles like some pigments are. There are so many fun ways to play with this color -- you can do bright tropical looks or sexy, smoky eyes when you add some black or gray to this pigment. I've been really into neutral eyes lately, but almost every time I want to have some fun with my eye makeup, I reach for this. Definitely my favorite MAC pigment!

I love this shadow, it is bright and vibrant. I typically wear it on my lid and lower lash line never high up on the lid. I love the look of the bright showing up in small spurts its like an unexpected surprise!!!! I love it worn alone...I think that it is one of favorite pigments!!! Definately recommend for those who like colors......

I love this color and I bought 2 of the old full size jars at the CCo. This is color can be used with almost everything. It looks like a tropical island teal in the jar. Good color to have. This color looks more matte in the new jars. Get the old jar if you can.

Pigments have become my favorite form of eyecolor. This is one of my favorite colors. Try this with glitter reflect teal, the end result is bloody gorgeous. Can't wait for holiday season and get the mini pigments<3

Teal pigment is beautiful. There is nothing in my collection like it. I love using it as a lid color, never going to high. It also works great applied wet as a liner.

I find this pigment to be true to its color when applied on the lid, once you get it applied. But it's almost impossible for me to apply it without getting it everywhere! That's okay though because it's highly pigmented, lasts all day, doesn't crease, and doesn't have any fallout once it's on the lid. It's a vivid teal color with goldish-teal shimmer to it. A beautiful product.

eee! I love this pigment to death :) <3 So, I live in Markham (right near toronto, ON, canada), and about 4 times a year, there is a HUGE Mac warehouse sale like 5 minutes from where I live. My mom has connections, so we get a bunch of free tickets for each one. This is how I got this wonderful pigment for......9 Bucks!!! :)

But like, I would still totally buy this pigment regular price. I have about 15 of them, and this is by far one of my favourites. What I love about this specific color is that if you put one thin layer on your eyelid, u get a sorta iridescent greeny-blue, but the more you layer it on, the more bluey it gets...it's so versatile! To prevent fall out, which is the only downside to wearing pigments, I use Mac shadesticks as a base. When I'm going for a more subtle look (well, as subtle as bright teal can get), I pair this pigment with my Naked shadestick. But, when I want that all-out intense look, I pair it with my Sea Me Mac Shadestick, which is a bit bluer than the pigment. This way, if I put one layer of Mac Teal pigment over the Sea Me shadestick, I get a really cool mermaid/peacock-like shiny, beautiful lid!

I have cinnamon colored skin and black hair, and this color goes great on me with my chocolate eyes :) I totally recoomend that you buy it, but only if you don't mind bright, popping eyes!

This pigment is way too frosted for my taste, there isn't much interesting color just full on frost. I like a bit of color with glitters or such I expected a bit more from this one.

it wasn't until recently that i started wandering away from the safe neutrals to blues, purples and greens. i love the Beethoven palette by Kat Von D, so i decided to venture into blue-green color by trying the MAC Teal pigment. you can see the picture the look here http://img.makeupalley.com/9/0/4/2/1521839.JPG

it is a beautiful bright true teal - very pigmented. whenever i put on a bright color, i'm always nervous whether i leave the house looking very "Cirque de Soleil" if you will... but since the SJ Sharks color is teal, i wore this color to one of the games.

with a paint pot base (MAC's reubenesque) under, a silver near the inner lid and a smokey black on the outer v, the teal pigment stands out and is so beautiful. i got this at the MAC counter as a sample, and love it so much i just ordered a full size on the website.

this is a simply gorgeous color, leaning slightly more blue than green for me. it has a highly shimmery, metallic finish. it is quite silkly and easily blends, goes on smoothely.

while this color could be duplicated, I think the metallic finish would be more difficult to simulate.

I bought a small amount in a sample jar, and I would happily buy again if I ever run out, which is unlikely since a little bit goes a long, long way.

this is great to use on the lashline if you don't want much color.

This is one of my all-time favourite MAC pigments, and one of only a few that I have ever rushed out to purchase (vs slumming it with a sample). MAC recently rejigged their pigment packaging and it now comes in a smaller vial with a snap lid for fewer spills.

This is a stunning, vibrant jewel shade that I haven't been able to duplicate with other brands or colours. Very beautiful when applied in the crease over yellow/gold (MAC Base Light paint or Rice Paper e/s) or silver (MAC Elektra or Dove Feather) shadows. Blue/grey eyes for reference.

I agree with the other reviewers that this is a gorgeous metallic teal. It looks amazing over Electrosky paint pot and paired with Deep blue green pigment in the crease and outer V. If the teal is too intense of a color for you, put Creme Royale or any golden beige in the inner third of the eye and blend over into the teal. Your eyes will have a golden teal quality like that of a Tahitian pearl.

MAC pigment jar last FOREVER. However I bought this teal color because I couldnt find ANY teal color that I like in the regular line collection. This is such a pretty vibrant teal, I love it.

Im not a big fan of pigments, I guess coz I cant use them very well, but really the only color I find myself using a lot is teal, I have 2 play with it more though...
the only prblm I face is when I use it wet, no matter wt colors im gonna I end up with a teal eyeshadow .. so strong that it covers other greens

I just used this again recently, while shopping my stash. This is a gorgeous shade! A true medium teal - bluish green. Looks metallic when foiled. Like most other pigments, has great staying power when a primer is used. Not chunky or dry in texture. A real keeper.

This is a beautiful teal color. A lightish blue green. Very frosty and kinda metallic look to it. Has great staying power, and blends very well.
