    Check my profile for my peacock costume. I used green facial Bindis with my makeup, I can find the ebay seller I bought them from in case you are interested in them.

        I just came up with a wild set of "peacock" eyes with the help of the lady's at Sephora...When it was all said and done, another employee with no knowledge of what we were doing, said "Hey cool, Peacock!!" Guess we got it right...

        Here's the recipe:

        All over base Urban decay eye potion, including under eyes.

        Using Make up Forever star powder # 940 (a shimmering white) lightly cover entire lid, up to eyebrow and down into corner of the eye

        On the eyelid only, using a medium brush, use Stila's smudge pot in black (or the olive) and cover well. This is super creamy and very color saturated....go like your making a smoky eye base. Go to the underside outer edge of your eye as well. Blend well.

        Then this is the trick...Press/blot, not brush on or smudge the following on top of your dark base: (I used a flat synthetic brush)

        Too Faced Moonbeam shadow (green black) onto the outer edge and crease "sideways V"

        Make up Forever star powder #906 ( vibrant teal blue) onto the middle center of the eye, blending to corner and just extending into the tear duct and onto lower lash line.

        Using mac's shimmer pigment in Chartreuse press and blend with a bit more of #940 to mute the edge of the moonbeam into the crease.

        Finish with Urban Decay's aqua glitter liner on upper lid and lower lash line and a heavy dark liner on the waterline (white Ok too here if you want the "pop"). I also have a limey green liner that I tried...looks good, too.

        Finish with mascara and or false eyelashes.

        Too bad I didn't take a picture :O)

        I'll post one the next time.
