MAC Runway Worthy Eyeshadow Palette ($32.00 for 0.19 oz.) consists of nine eyeshadows, most in a pink/plum theme. There are some misses in the palette, while the rest are decent to good but nothing spectacular, so the whole palette ends up being rather ho-hum without any strong shades in it.

Runway Worthy is a very light, almost white, beige with a frosted finish. It had decent pigmentation with a soft, blendable texture that was a little firm but wasn’t fussy to apply. This shade wore well for eight hours on me. Maybelline Precious Pearl (LE, $6.99) is more shimmery (95% similar). Make Up For Ever I528 Pearl (P, $17.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar).

Dress Me Up is a muted, medium mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly finish. It had semi-sheer coverage with a lightly dusty consistency that was prone to sheering out on the skin. This shade would benefit greatly from a base or primer. It wore for seven hours before fading noticeably. Lancome Exhibition (PiP, $19.00) is warmer (90% similar).

Nice Fit is a purple-tinted black with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. It had a drier, firmer texture that resulted in uneven color payoff that was really hard to diffuse and soften to blend it out. Even over primer, it was challenging to work with as it was so stiff. It lasted for eight hours before creasing. Too Faced Jingle All the Way Eyeshadow #1 (LE, $16.00) is darker (90% similar). Urban Decay Lovesick (LE, $19.00) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar).

Paradise Island is a light-medium pink with cooler, blue undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation with a soft, smooth texture that wasn’t too firm or too soft, so it applied well to the skin without emphasizing dryness or texture.

Available in Petite is a medium-dark fuchsia pink with warmer undertones and a mostly matte finish. There was a sprinkling of iridescent shimmer, but it was so subtle, I didn’t notice the effect at all on the lid. The texture was soft with a firmer press, so there was no dustiness, but it seemed to be harder to blend out on the skin. This shade lasted for eight hours on me.

Frock Talk is a muted, medium-dark plum with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had good color payoff with a firmer, drier texture that applied evenly to the skin and was easier to blend out than I expected, given the texture.

Hypnotizing is a washed out, very light taupe with hints of gray and a frosted sheen. It is a much, much lighter version than the last time I saw it (where it looked deeper and more purple-hued). The texture was firm, and it required a much denser brush and heavier hand. This shade started to crease after seven hours of wear. YSL Saharienne #5 (PiP, ) is less shimmery (95% similar). MAC Breaking Ground (LE, $21.00) is cooler (95% similar). Giorgio Armani Silver Mirage (18) (LE, $39.00) is warmer (90% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty The Starlet #1 (PiP, ) is lighter (90% similar).

Zip Me Up is a medium-dark violet purple with a pearly sheen. It had so-so color payoff paired with a lightly dusty consistency, so it was easier to blend out, but the lack of pigmentation made it harder to get really even, true-to-pan coverage.

Snappy Style is a muted, dark plum with subtle, cooler undertones and a mostly matte finish. There is a hint of shimmer to it, so you might consider it a satin, but the effect is matte on the skin as I couldn’t detect the shimmer at all once applied and blended out. This shade wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably. LORAC Plum (PiP, $19.00) is more muted (95% similar). Tarte Mulled Wine (LE, ) is darker (95% similar).
