There are five shades of MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadow ($19.50 for 0.04 oz.) in the upcoming Magnetic Nude collection, which launches in-stores and at-counter on December 26th. I wore all five eyeshadows yesterday, and they wore well for eight hours without fading or creasing–after nine hours, there was very subtle fading apparent across all of the shades. A Natural Flirt and Sweet Heat are repromotes, so check your stash for those if you tend to pick up this formula.

Amorous Alloy is described as a “deep terracotta copper [with a Metallic finish].” It’s a muted, medium-dark copper-brown with warm, reddish undertones and a soft, frosted finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff when applied dry, and then applied wet, it was smoother, less powdery, and fully pigmented. Makeup Geek Country Girl (P, $5.99) is softer. Sleek MakeUP Sunset #3 (P, $9.99) is brighter. LORAC Garnet (P) is browner. Disney by Sephora Trust Me (LE) is redder. theBalm Racy Kacy (P, $16.00) is slightly darker/browner. MAC Star Myth (LE, $15.00) is more orange. MAC Magnetic Attraction (LE, $21.00) has gold shimmer. MAC In the Sun (LE, $21.00) is darker. MAC Mythical (LE, $15.00) is less brown. MAC Deep Fixation (LE, $15.00) is darker. See comparison swatches.

A Natural Flirt is described as an “iridescent light pink [with a Metallic finish].” It’s a light, peachy-pink with a frosted, golden shimmer. It flits between peach, pink, and a subtle iridescence of the two. This color works well for brightening. It was semi-opaque when applied dry, and when applied wet, it was much more pigmented. Laura Mercier Sparkling Dew (LE) is less frosted. Laura Mercier Guava (P) is darker. Marc Jacobs Beauty The Tease #4 (P) is similar. Urban Decay X (P, $18.00) is darker, warmer. Le Metier de Beaute Nouvelle (LE, $30.00) is darker. See comparison swatches.

Platinum Love is described as a “bright clean silver [with a Metallic finish].” It’s a bright, pale silver with a metallic finish. It was semi-opaque applied dry, and it wasn’t fully opaque applied with a damp brush, but it was smoother and more pigmented than the dry application. Guerlain Crazy Paris #3 (LE) is very similar. NARS Flowers 3 #1 (LE, $24.00) is darker, cooler-toned. MAC White as Snow (LE, $32.50) is darker. Chanel Infini (P, $28.50) is also darker. See comparison swatches.

Silver Dawn is described as a “dirty grey mauve [with a Metallic finish].” It’s a neutral-to-cool-toned taupe with a frosted finish. It has a strong brown base, but the top layer appears grayer, cooler. It had good color payoff applied dry, but it was definitely more opaque and intense when applied with a damp brush. Marc Jacobs Beauty The Starlet #7 (P) is grayer. Urban Decay MIA (LE, $18.00) is darker. NARS Grand Palais #1 (LE, $24.00) is lighter, grayer. MAC Twilight Falls (LE, $21.00) is similar. MAC Shale (P, $15.00) is a touch cooler-toned. Chanel Raffinement #1 (P) has a hint of plum. See comparison swatches.

Sweet Heat is described as a “soft peach pink [with a Metallic finish].” It’s a light-medium,, muted, peachy-beige with a frosted, metallic finish. It had fairly good color coverage applied dry, but it was more opaque applied with a damp brush–it also turned more metallic. Too Faced Marzipan (P) is warmer. Makeup Geek Cinderella (P, $5.99) is also warmer, less metallic. MAC Rubenesque (P, $18.50) is warmer, cream product. Urban Decay Moonflower (P, $18.00) is more orange. bareMinerals Custom Made (LE) is lighter. See comparison swatches.
