MAC Imaginary Pro Longwear Paint Pot ($22.00 for 0.17 oz.) is described as a “deep blue plum shimmer.” It’s a deepened, muted, navy blue with fine navy blue and violet pearl. It had semi-opaque color payoff with a lightly creamy consistency, but it is really dense in the pot. The denser texture made it less blendable on the skin; it was better as a defined area rather than used as a cream eyeshadow (so I preferred it as an eyeliner). The color lasted for twelve hours on me before starting fade (the formula has a stated wear time of 15 hours per MAC’s site). Cle de Peau Serenity (Left) (PiP, ) is lighter (95% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Night Sky (Cream) (LE, $45.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). Sephora So Demure (LE, ) is lighter, more muted (90% similar). MAC Shop & Drop (LE, $17.00) is darker (90% similar).

MAC Nice Composure Pro Longwear Paint Pot ($22.00 for 0.17 oz.) is described as a “mid-tone cool grey.” It’s a muted, medium-dark gray with cool, almost purple-like tones, and a satin finish. It had nice color payoff with a creamy enough formula that it applied well and still retained some blendability if you wanted to use it as a base or cream eyeshadow. The texture is still denser than your average cream eyeshadow, so you’ll want to work one eye at a time to maximize the time you have to blend out any edges. This shade lasted for twelve hours on me before fading. Urban Decay Slanted (PiP, $19.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). Viseart Cool Matte #11 (PiP, ) is lighter (90% similar). Smashbox Granite (PiP, ) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (85% similar). MAC Text Me Later (LE, ) is less shimmery, darker (85% similar).

Chanel Noir Supreme #2 (PiP, ) is less shimmery, darker (80% similar). MAC Rose Blend #2 (LE, ) is darker, warmer (80% similar). MAC Fabulous Fit (LE, $17.00) is warmer (90% similar).
