******** Be prepared for a LONG POST*********
I have Marsh Eyeshadow & might I say it is an absolute beauty!
Described by MAC as a "Soft Mid-Tone Olive Green,
Satin) It is a soft, dark olive green, with yellow undertone & silver/gold micro shimmer. It is so unique, my camera couldn't pick up the depth of colour sadly as it looks different in every light, but take my word for it, Marsh is a fabulous eyeshadow. I tried my best to try dupe it from my MAC eyeshadow collection & palettes but to no avail. It may look a little boring to some of you but as soon as I seen it I knew it was going to be
It makes such a pretty eye look, it will be perfect for Fall/Autumn. I can't wait to wear it again.
It's formula is amazing. Soft, smooth, not bitty or gritty and very blendable. It's a dream to work with
Dupe wise, the only colour I can see as being similar is MAC Flourishing. Sadly I do not own it but from the online swatches, it's the only MAC eyeshadow which is from the same vein as Marsh. Main difference is their formulas (Flourishing being a Matte2)
I didn't take the pictures but I compared Marsh with MAC Fiction & they are not alike. F is much darker & deeper and their formulas are different.
Here are some pictures, you can see how the colour changes in the different lights

Outdoors, No Flash (In Direct Sunlight)
Outdoors, No Flash (In the Shade) this is the most accurate.
Here are my comparison swatches
I am an NW13
As you can see Sumptuous Olive & Greensmoke look the most like Marsh in the pans
But when swatched they are very different (SO, M, GS)
I also compared Marsh to Olive Groove from my MAC Temperley palette
Here are the most comparable shades to Marsh I own (Outdoors, No Flash)
(Indoors, No Flash) Though OG & SO looked similar to Marsh in their pans they are so much more gold than green
I also did an eye look using Marsh here are the pictures!!
An up close of the eye (Indoors, No Flash) I used Marsh on the inner 2/3 of my eye
Here is the full look, I applied Pink Cult lightly to my cheeks (Indoors, No Flash)

I hope my extremely long & detailed post helps somebody lol
