MAC Cooler-Toned Purple Eyeshadows Photos & Swatches
Beautiful Iris is described as a “lavender with sheen [with a Veluxe Pearl finish].” It’s a light-medium, lavender purple with cool, undertones and a soft, frosted finish. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Digit is described as a “soft violet with subtle pearl [with a Satin finish].” It’s a light, muted lavender with cool undertones and a pearly sheen. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Indian Ink is described as a “deep eggplant [with a Matte finish].” It’s a medium-dark, cool-toned purple with a matte finish. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Parfait Amour is described as an “blue-violet with shimmer [with a Frost finish].” It’s a medium, bluish-purple with an iridescent, pearly sheen. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Bonus:
These two shades are no longer available on MAC’s website, but since they were in my “permanent” palettes and were re-photographed and swatched, I’m including them below (maybe one of the dupes will be helpful!):
Graphology is a deep, dark, muted purple with cool undertones and a matte finish. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Purple Haze is a muted, medium purple with a matte finish and subtle, cool undertones. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
What’s Swatch Saturday? I can’t always review products with full, in-depth reviews, but sometimes, I can at least give you photos and swatches, and then also provide a link to dupes and comparisons for those interested! This also helps us to build up our Swatch Gallery and add even more entries to The Dupe List, which can be helpful to readers at any point.

ALL the purples! <3
Which is your fave?
Purple looks so pretty on a lot of people.. seen it uncountable times in videos and tutorials but somehow I am just not sold on it!
If you ever get your makeup done for free you should make them try it on you!
Love all things PURPLE!!!!
Me too!! 🙂
Graphology and Indian Ink are both gorgeous!
Agreed!
Parfait Amour looks like such a pretty colour! 🙂
I like how it leans blue!
Looks like I need Demon Lover #2
It’s an interesting duo!
I’m a dark, warm toned child so I tend to avoid cool toned colors. However, I’m curious about Parfait Amour and I have no dupes for it in my collection.
Try pairing with coppers!
Will do. Thanks for the suggestion. 🙂
Too much purple going on for me (not really my colour) – wouldn’t want to look like I’ve been the victim of a vicious mugging!
All in the way you use it 🙂
YaY! Some of my FAVORITES! I’m adding Laven-duh! DC, but a Gem! Oh, I love MAC PURPLES! YaY! I could go on with these & greens, and duochromes, heck.. Let’s play with colors! (I realized today that most people confuse Bronze with Copper.. I’m guessing due to slang
summer tanning talk..?.,.)
I think I had that once upon a time but got rid of it 🙁
Oh, no? Seedy Pearl? Crystal?
I believe I have those two!
Gosh, I love all of these colours! :-O So pretty, I love purple so much!! 😀 perhaps especially the last three here…
Purple is such a great shade on the eyes!
These are all so pretty, I think I’m going to have to pick the first two up since I don’t have anything similar. For some reason I can’t see the swatch to Graphology or Indian Ink though. :/
Try refreshing!
I have parfait amour. It has such a pretty duo-chrome sheen to it. [:
What do you like to pair with it, Heather?
Used to wear these kind of shades all the time. It was always purples or greens. Haven’t used them in years and not sure why. This inspired me to pull them out of my stash and try using them again.
Yay! So glad you’ll be trying them again 🙂
I keep staring at Purple Haze. I do not have it. 🙁
I can’t believe I do not have Indian Ink or Graphology…wth? Going on list.
Purple how I love theee
You don’t have Indian Ink OR Graphology?? How did that happen 😉
Hmm. Not my favorite shades. I like Purple Haze out of these, but otherwise they’re too light and cool toned to suit me. I was trying to figure out why they were all so likely to look powdery on me, and then I saw it was right there in the title. :p
Well, at least you know which ones to avoid 🙂
Purple is my least favorite shade to wear, but I really like Digit. I would probably put it in my inner corner or inner 1/4 of the lid for a pop of purple.
It would be gorgeous applied like that, Danielle! Great idea!
I wanted to say one thing dear –
http://www.temptalia.com/the-summer-season-dolce-gabbana-violet-lipstick
you always look stunning and smashing but this shade is “M” for MOREEEE drop dead gorgeous on you 🙂
i so want to pick this shade right nowww
Aww, thank you Rashmi! 🙂
I absolutely adore purples 🙂 MAC do make great purples but MUFE …. ohhhhh you name it and they have it .. some or the other shade for everyone 🙂
my fav purple from MAC would be beautiful iris and i so want to pick DIGIT soon 🙂
i have stopped using eyeshadow for some weird reasons 🙁 🙁 🙁
Very true – MUFE is great for purple eyeshadows!
<3 Purple!! Some of my favs are Creme de Violet, Parfait Amour and Stars n Rockets. Been wanting to try some of the purples from MUFE, they look so fantastic.
MUFE makes fantastic purples! #92, of course.
Aah thank you for this! I want them all (at least, the ones I don’t already have.) Any recommendations for what to pair these with other than cool taupe or silver? (I’m fair, very cool toned with multicolored eyes that tend green).
Icy pinks, blues! Maybe something like Gorgeous Gold? with the cooler duochrome could work.
