MAC Colourdrenched Pigment ($22.00 for 0.065 oz.) is a new, limited edition eyeshadow formula. I don’t know if it makes any specific claims, but I’ve used it both wet and dry and find that four of the five shades below really don’t need damp application. They have a very dense, almost cream-like consistency (think products like Make Up For Ever Artist Shadows in the shimmery finishes, Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadow, etc.) that go on smoothly. These deeper shades seemed to be a little harder to blend, particularly with the shades here, but they seemed easier to work with when paired with regular MAC eyeshadows. The wear time varied between six and eight hours before I noted creasing.

MAC Ascent of Glamour Colourdrenched Pigment ($22.00 for 0.065 oz.) is described as a “cobalt violet-blue.” It’s a, medium-dark violet purple with cool undertones and a frosted sheen. It had good color payoff applied dry and was slightly richer and more opaque applied damp. The texture is dense and smooth, but it is so thick that it seems almost like a cream eyeshadow when you initially apply it. The color adhered well to the skin, but the blending was where it seemed harder to really diffuse and soften the color into the next. I noticed slight creasing after seven and a half hours of wear.

MAC Moon is Blue Colourdrenched Pigment ($22.00 for 0.065 oz.) is described as a “royal blue.” It’s a rich, medium-dark blue with cool undertones and a metallic sheen. It was intensely pigmented and very, very dense and cream-like, even though it seems like a powder eyeshadow. It goes on smoothly and evenly with good coverage, but the edges seem to be harder to blend out to a really soft, diffused edge as the product adheres so well. On me, it started to crease after seven and a half hours of wear. Natasha Denona Tiger Lily (LE, $29.00) is lighter (95% similar). Tarte Dark Seas (P, $14.00) is more muted (95% similar).

MAC Night Thrill Colourdrenched Pigment ($22.00 for 0.065 oz.) is described as a “gold shimmer.” It’s a light-medium, yellow gold with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. This one had a much drier consistency compared to the other four, and it was the only shade that had to be used damp to get it to apply decently, as it would adhere more smoothly and have greater payoff. It wore for six and a half hours with fall out. ColourPop Fringe (P, $6.00) is less shimmery (95% similar). Gucci Beauty Antique Gold (DC, $37.00) is lighter (95% similar).

MAC No Taboos Colourdrenched Pigment ($22.00 for 0.065 oz.) is described as a “blackened blue.” It’s a deep black with lighter navy blue shimmer paired with a frosted finish. It had good color payoff with a very smooth, cream-like texture. It could have blended more readily, though it wasn’t overly hard to work with. It lasted for eight hours on me. MAC Space (LE, $21.00) is less shimmery (95% similar). Dior Reveuse (271) (2016) (LE, $31.00) is lighter (95% similar). Make Up For Ever ME224 Navy Blue (DC, $21.00) is lighter (95% similar).

MAC Tonight is the Night Colourdrenched Pigment ($22.00 for 0.065 oz.) is described as a “deep blackened teal.” It’s a deep, dark teal with cooler undertones and a subtle green tinge paired with a frosted finish. It had great color payoff, and it actually seemed better dry than damp. The texture was soft, smooth, and dense, and it applied well to the skin without losing its intensity, but the thicker consistency seemed to make blending and diffusing the edges harder. This shade lasted for seven and a half hours on me. YSL Scandal #5 (LE, ) is less shimmery (90% similar). Make Up For Ever ME230 Peacock Blue (DC, $17.00) is lighter, cooler (90% similar). bareMinerals Deep Sea (LE, $14.00) is more muted (90% similar).
