MAC Dazzleshadow Liquids Reviews & Swatches
Beam Time
MAC Beam Time Dazzleshadow Liquid ($22.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a medium copper with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. This was the least sparkly shade that I tried, and it had a stronger, more metallic sheen with less larger sparrkle in it. It was also more semi-opaque in a single layer, though it could easily be sheered out (or applied with less product) for sheerer results. I was also able to dab on a second layer to get full coverage. It had a smooth, thin texture that wasn’t quite as watery as other shades, and it applied evenly, blended out nicely, and dried down fast enough that it didn’t settle into fine lines/lid lines. The color lasted well for nine hours without creasing or yielding fallout.

Formula Overview
$22.00/0.16 oz. - $137.50 Per Ounce
It's a liquid-based formula that's supposed to have a "wash of brilliant colour" that lasts for "eight hours" and goes on "even[ly]" without creasing and is "safe for contact lens wearers." The shades I tried had varying color payoff in a single layer ranging from sheer (Panthertized) to semi-opaque (Beam Time). I was able to build up coverage on my lid as well, but additional layers did result in a thicker, more textured appearance of the product on my lid, though it didn't make the product more prone to flaking over time. The consistency was watery and thin, but it didn't run or settle into my fine lines/creases readily. I was able to diffuse and blend the edges, and I liked the product for layering over other eyeshadows; for example, Panthertized had a sheer, blackish base, which is hard to get to be even on bare skin, but it added violet and green sparkle over a black eyeshadow. They applied fairly evenly with a brush or fingertip (as recommended) and lasted for eight hours with minimal fallout and no creasing.

Every Day is Sunshine
MAC Every Day is Sunshine Dazzleshadow Liquid ($22.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a pale, pinky-beige with warm gold, silver, and pink sparkle. The consistency was thin and watery, but it spread fairly evenly on my skin for a sheer, even layer of shimmer/sparkle. It dried down fast enough that it didn’t pull into my fine lines but gave me enough time to buff the edges with a small eye brush. This shade worked well for brightening the inner tearduct/corner or layering over most eyeshadows to add a little bit of sparkle. It wore well for eight hours with minimal fallout and no creasing.

Love Yourself
MAC Love Yourself Dazzleshadow Liquid ($22.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a medium pink with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. It had sheer color coverage, as described, that was buildable to mostly opaque coverage with to three layers. The texture was noticeably thicker and emphasized my lid texture, but sparkled prettily from a normal viewing distance that it wasn’t a deal-breaker for me, plus it didn’t flake off over time. The liquid eyeshadow was wet to the touch, watery, and thin, but it dried down quickly but still gave me a few seconds to diffuse and soften the edges. It stayed on well for eight hours with slight fallout but no creasing.

Panthertized
MAC Panthertized Dazzleshadow Liquid ($22.00 for 0.16 oz.) has a black base with violet and green sparkle/pearl. It had sheer coverage, which seemed to be in line with the brand’s description (“wash” of color), but the sheer black base was uneven and splotchy–almost like powdery bits on the lid. I would recommend using this shade to layer over deeper shades, like a matte black eyeshadow or deep purple, to add sparkle/shine. The consistency was more watery than the other shades I tried, and I found a brush to give me the most control over where and how much applied to my lid. On me, it had slight fallout after eight hours of wear but no creasing.

Oh!!!!! These are STUNNING!! I’m really liking the finish, and the way it looks!!!
I’m actually really liking the looks of Panthertized (dumb name, though LOL).
Every Day Is Sunshine and Beam Time look utterly AMAZING!
However, I’m also REALLY loving Pantherized very much. I would definitely be using it over a matte black like MAC Nehru, and wearing it to the Evanescence & Lindsey Stirling concert I’m going to on the 29th.
These are really very pretty and I love Beam Time – but I think all of them are pretty good.
Pantherized seems a bit troublesome but it is STUNNING.
Oh my god love those earrings! Where are they from?

Thanks!
Are you going to review the other shades as well?
This is all I have right now, sorry!
