Teal Appeal

MAC Teal Appeal Eyeshadow ($16.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as an "intense teal blue/green [with a Veluxe Pearl finish]." It's a medium-dark, blue-teal with subtle, cool undertones and a frosted finish. It had nice pigmentation with a soft, smooth consistency that was firmer in the pan than the average eyeshadow, but it didn't translate into problematic application, as the eyeshadow blended out just fine on the skin. The color wore well for eight hours on me before fading. Lethal Cosmetics Equilibrium (P, $6.00) is darker (90% similar). theBalm Open to Offers Olwen (LE, $16.00) is more muted (90% similar).
