Might just be me, but when I click on “see side by side swatches” a shade called Darling by sugarpill which isn’t on this list is included instead of Azure blue.

(It’s such a gourgeous shade though…)

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Edgy Emerald! The name suggests a green shade but it wears like a light teal on my skin. Tenacious Teal is a deeper shade of teal in the Color Tattoo line…I haven’t tried that one.

I typically use it alone and simply add a darker shade in the crease and in the “v” area. I tend to use more neutral Color Tattoo shades as bases, like Bad to the Bronze. I just bought the Leather Color Tattoo in Chocolate Suede today…so pretty!

I agree on Deep End!

I also really like the L’Oreal Infallible shade Endless Sea.

I really like teal, but I wear it in eyeliner form more often than eyeshadow, I think. I like putting on a light, iridescent eyeshadow like UD Crystal or Armani ETK 23 and then wearing teal liner.

Aw, that’s too bad about the pigmentation for you. I took some quick swatch picks of my Infallible stash for a forum I was on awhile back, and I definitely see what you mean. However, I always wear primer on my eyes, and have not had the same issues in using it that I did in swatching it.

Teal is my favourite eyeshadow colour by a mile! I love using it as pop of colour. My go to eyeshadow is MAC Parrot but I also like to use Boots No.7 liquid liner in Mermaid and Kiko Long Lasting Shadow Stick in 09 Nile Green 🙂

I love and own several similar colors but my favorites :Christian Dior Pop Aquadelic and Loreal infallible Endless Sea. For a while this summer I wore the heck out of Endless Sea. Gender Bent is really pretty.Fyrinnae makes such vivid beautiful eyeshadows but they are sold out a lot.

I have some teals, I hardly ever use them. They are a bit out of my comfort zone, I feel they might not do my eyecolour a favour. Sometimes I do use teal anyway. Just because the colour itself is lovely and mekeup is fun!
