<em>MAC Honesty Eyeshadow</em></p>
<h2>MAC Eyeshadow Swatches &#8211; Neutrals (Part 1)</h2>
<p>Back with more <span style="font-size: 14px; color: #9d4b7b;"><strong>MAC Eyeshadows</strong></span>&#8211;almost through the permanent shades I have&#8211;and this set features neutrals, including browns as well as beiges.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #9d4b7b;"><strong>Honesty</strong></span> is a soft coppered brown with chunky gold and copper glitter. It has a lustre finish. It&#8217;s not the chunkiest lustre I&#8217;ve come across, but it doesn&#8217;t make my list of must-haves. <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/urban-decay-eyeshadow-swatches-part-2#image2">Urban Decay Blaze</a> would be a good alternative.</li>
<li><span style="color: #9d4b7b;"><strong>Patina</strong></span> is grayish-brown (almost taupe) with a pale, golden sheen. It has a frost finish.</li>
<li><span style="color: #9d4b7b;"><strong>Wedge</strong></span> is a warm-toned, medium brown with a matte finish. It is warmer and brown compared to <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/mac-eyeshadow-swatches-brown-part-2#image6">MAC Omega</a> but softer than <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/mac-eyeshadow-swatches-brown-part-2#image3">MAC Cork</a>.</li>
<li><span style="color: #9d4b7b;"><strong>Soba</strong></span> is a yellow-ed brown with a subtle golden sheen and satin finish. It&#8217;s yellower than Wedge, and the finishes are different, but they are similar.</li>
<li><span style="color: #9d4b7b;"><strong>Era</strong></span> is a darkened beige with a champagne sheen. It has a satin finish. It is lighter (and shimmery) than <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/burberry-almond-06-eyeshadow-review-photos-swatches#image1">Burberry Almond</a>.</li>
<li><span style="color: #9d4b7b;"><strong>Malt</strong></span> is a pinked brown-beige with a matte finish. It&#8217;s a bit powdery. <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/inglot-matte-eyeshadows-in-329-378-326-363-358-browns-neutrals#image6">Inglot #344</a> is similar.</li>
<li><span style="color: #9d4b7b;"><strong>All That Glitters</strong></span> is a lightened copper-gold with a veluxe pearl finish.The texture is rather gritty for a veluxe pearl.  <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/urban-decay-eyeshadow-swatches-part-2#image2">Urban Decay Blaze</a> is similar.</li>
<li><span style="color: #9d4b7b;"><strong>Bisque</strong></span> is a soft beige with a matte finish. <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/inglot-matte-eyeshadows-in-337-390-350-348-376-349-339-387-324-391-318-373-neutrals-grays-blacks#image2">Inglot #390</a> is similar.</li>
<li><span style="color: #9d4b7b;"><strong>Brule</strong></span> is a soft, warm beige with a satin finish.</li>
<li><span style="color: #9d4b7b;"><strong>Blanc Type</strong></span> is a pale white-beige with a Matte2 finish. <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/inglot-matte-eyeshadows-in-328-353-355-351-323-beiges-yellow#image2">Inglot #355</a> is similar but may turn more peach on some complexions.</li>
</ul>
<p>Eyeshadows like <em>Honesty</em> and <em>All That Glitters</em>&#8211;tend to have chunkier textures with glitter fall out.  I will buy a new All That Glitters, even though mine was brand new as of a month ago, since many of you say I have a bad batch, but please give me some time to do so. Shades like <em>Bisque</em>, <em>Brule</em>, and <em>Blanc Type</em> are very light, and I know that on me<em> Blanc Type</em> photographs ashy (on <span style="text-decoration: underline;">me</span>) when I&#8217;ve used it as a highlighter. <em>Patina</em> is a fun shade, because it&#8217;s almost like a neutral duochrome, and I couldn&#8217;t think of a real dupe for it.</p>
