MAC Fashion Fanatic MAC Girls Personality Palette Review, Photos, Swatches
Fashion Fanatic
MAC Fashion Fanatic MAC Girls Personality Palette ($39.50 for TBA oz.) contains an assortment of shades that ranged from peachy coral to lavender to raspberry pink to deep purple. The palette features a new eyeshadow formula with four finishes–Satin Shine, Smooth Pearl, Foiled Shadow, and Creamy Matte–that are supposed to have a “creamy, silky texture with superior colour payoff” along with a powder highlighter that’s described as “lightweight” and has “just the right amount of pearl and pop.”
Overall, the formula isn’t night and day from the brand’s standard powder eyeshadow (and did not seem like they reinvented powder eyeshadow!), but it was noticeably softer, more finely-milled, and the Foiled finishes were denser and very sparkly–almost like an amped up take on their Lustre eyeshadows. The Creamy Matte finish seemed to have more pigmentation and blendability than of the brand’s firmer mattes have had. Unfortunately, the quality of each shade varied enough that it was not a slam dunk formulation, but I liked the direction of the formula but would like to see better consistency.

Shop Shop Shop
Shop Shop Shop is a medium-dark, pinky plum with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had semi-opaque color payoff that was buildable on the lid, but the texture was drier and looser, so it seemed to fade faster by the seventh hour of wear.

Must Have It
Must Have It is a soft, light-medium orange with warm undertones and a gold-to-pink shimmer shift. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that gave the skin a soft glow that did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture. The consistency was smooth to the touch but denser and took a heavier hand to pick up product. The highlighter wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Pleasantly surprised by this one! Especially after seeing the others do abysmally poor in performance with the lone exception of the Minx one. I actually am considering this one now!
Yayy! 🙂
Love the eye look, Christine. This one scored better finally. I think I can dupe this with my stash but glad to see one score well.
Thanks, Deborah!
Quality-wise, this palette seems to be better than the others I’ve seen reviewed. It looks like a great palette for green eyes. For me, though, it’s too similar to a lot of shades I already own in other palettes and singles.
It was one of the better palettes for sure!
Finally one of these new MAC sets that reviewed well! Glad it was the one that appeals to me the most too!
Finally!
This palette is a lot better and more cohesive than some of the others. Beautiful and exotic eye look Christine.
I’m glad it scored better. It’s not stuff I’d wear but I like that at least one of them turned out good.
