This is a very pretty color and looks good on my arm when testing it, but when I actually put it on my eyelids, it just does not look well with my dark hair and dark eyes/olive skin. Greenish Blue/Teal shades, no matter what brand, don't look good on me.

This is one of my fav colors. Ive read people refering it to a shimmer, but to me, this is more matte. I find it has great color payoff, for me when I apply this, its comes out the same color in the pan, easy to blend, and stays on my oily lids all day with my udpp or too faced shadow insurence.
Price is right, only took 1 mark off for the packaging, it does come in a plastic case that you have to purchase a separate case later, but its not a deal breaker for me. This is 1 of 6 shadows from mark I have, and I would buy again.

This is a gorgeous dark teal shimmer that is great as a liner and for shading as well as a dramatic all-over lid color. My current favorite color to pair this with is mark.'s Tiki, which makes a beautiful combination for olive hazel eyes. It also looks really nice with blues and greens. This is a great alternative to black or grey in a smoky eye.

The size of the pan is very generous so there's no way I'll run out, but I would definitely restock if I did.

I am wearing this today with MAC's lucky green on inner lid, wondergrass on outer part of lid and retro peacock on crease looks so pretty. I actually like this color a lot. It is very pigmented. I barely tap my brush onto the color and it applies the color nicely, it lasts all day. It is a dark color that I couldn't imagine using over entire lid. I've also paried it with MAC's goldmine or newly minted on my lid and this on crease. I don't own any other color like it.

Like most of the darker mark. eyeshadows, I'm not a fan of this. I use it for a smokey look but I feel the color loses most of it's tone when applied. All the shimmer disappears when applied. It doesn't apply evenly and requires a lot of blending and buffing to get an even finish (probably the reason why I lose the shimmer). It feels like I'm working with a cheap matte shadow.
Even with UDPP I have trouble getting a true even color.

This is one of my very favorite eyeshadows EVER. This color is amazing. You can get so many different colors with it, depending on how many layers you use. I simply LOVE THE COLOR! A shimmery/pearly olive color. It makes my green eyes simply POP. I accidentally ordered two of them, and now I am so very glad I did. Now I have a back up!

Great color! Really nice dark green. I was worried that the color would look faded when I put it on but it goes on really nicely. Doesn't crease.
The package is a little plastic case. I ended up buying the case they have later because I bought a few more colors. I really like the case too.
Great products!

This is such a fun color! Its darker than I would like to use for all over my eye lids. I use it as an eye liner. It achieves the same purpose as my normal black eyeliner, but its a colorful alternative.

As stated before, this is a dark teal color that makes a beautiful eyeliner. It works well wet or dry, and really pops without being overly colorful. I highly recommend.

This is a deep teal that is heavily pigmented so it's great for use as a liner too. You can wet it to make the color even more intense. I wish it had more shimmer once on like it looks in the pan which is why I gave it a 4. Used w/ UDPP ..at the end of the day this looked exactly as when I first applied it

I was worried that this would come off a bit chalky. For some reason, it doesn't look as nicely shimmered in the pan as it appears (usually it's the opposite with shadows--they look shimmery in the pan, but matte or chalky on the lids). This surprised me, though. It's great as a liner or for a different take on a smoky eye, and looks good paired with a beige-toned OR silver-toned highlighter.

THIS ROCKS!!! The dark blue-green color totally makes brown eyes POP!!! I use it as a liner and lightly smudge it for a soft look and it just makes my dark brown eyes looks SOO AWESOME!! I also lightly use my fingers and blend the shadow lightly on my lids if I want a really pretty smokey eye effect. As with all Mark products, staying power is great!! I think I own about 6 f these and I am still ordering more. This one by far is my favorite!!!!!

Retro Peacock is a dark bluish green with tiny multicolored shimmer. The shimmer is not overwhelming at all and it actually pretty subdued to me. I love using this as a liner because it brings out my eyes. Or sometimes I'll line this top lashline with brown and the bottom lashline with Retro Peacock, just for a pop of color. This color is buildable, and will show more if you spply using a damp brush. Not to mention the pan they come in is huge and well worth the price. I will repuchase this when I run out, along with other colors! It comes in a square metal pan that is in a flimsy plastic case. I ordered the mega Snap To It Custom Color Palette so I wouldn't have to keep it in that plastic case

I LOVE THIS COLOR!!!! Someone at work started selling Avon so I've been buying from there. Retro Peacock is a stunning deep dark green with a tiny hint of blue. It has a fine shimmer running through it. I've been using this for the past few days and I love it. It has amazing staying power and is dirt cheap. I'm normally not an Avon fan but this shadow is worth a shot!

Very pleased with the color, the texture, the price! I'm a rep and it won't be hard to sell these eyeshadows and this color in particular. Retro Peacock is a beautiful warm teal. Mark eyeshadows have a lot of pigment and depth to them. You must use very little to get the effect you want and these layer very well. I got a new pallete case today and I think they are as high quality as Stila. To give you a good indication of price, you can get four eyeshadows and a pan for $22 compared to the $80+ I spent on 6 Stila eyeshadows and 6 pan. Quality is the same, color choices aren't as vast. Yet.

If you're tired of using the same colours to create a smokey eye, look no further. Very little is needed on your brush, this pan will last forever. Some very fine microshimmer, just enough so that it doesn't look flat. Don't let the colour in the pan scare you, this goes on a lovely dark teal.

WEll, after reading the reviews on MUA, i thought i would give this a try! there is pretty much NO shimmer once on your lids, and i use this as a thin liner with my mark. eyeliner brush(which i love)

at first i was thinking...ehhh nothing special, but paired with a dark brown shadow for your creases like java, and a highlighter on your small lids & below brow (heavanly- light sea foam blue) it looks pretty good!

i'm still not so impressed i could die, which i was expecting, but looks lovely with brown eyes, and brown hair and light skin ;)
