MAC Smoky Mauve Extra Dimension Eyeshadow
MAC Smoky Mauve Extra Dimension Eyeshadow ($21.00 for 0.07 oz.) is described as a “mid-tone cool mauve.” It’s a plummy mauve with a frosted finish. MAC Daylight is lighter. Jasmine Carpet is pinker. Girogio Armani #27 is a touch darker. MAC Universal Appeal has more plum in it. Tarina Tarantino Fantastical #1 is cooler-toned.
Of the six, this was my favorite, because it applied the best–it was so, so smooth and had only a smidgen of dryness. It was soft without being powdery, and it melted against the skin when applied. The dry application is quite pigmented, and the damp application just made the finish slightly more metallic, but they were about the same either way. Smoky Mauve had the best texture, as the product seemed to bind with itself better, which helped to create that smoother finish. It lasted seven hours without fading or creasing (and it’s only designed to last for six).

I think this is pretty but to me, not unique
So pleased they got the formula right on this, it was the only colour I really had my eye on.
Hope they have some left by the time it gets to europe.
Oooh I love this! So pretty!
Oy.. this one is beautiful too~
This colour looks lovely on you, Christine! I’m not sure if you’ll know, but is this eyeshadow similar to l’oreal’s colour appeal eyeshadow in metal plum, at all?
I don’t think I have that one, unfortunately!
Do you know of any similar color that has more of a matte or satin finish?
Hello, how similar is stolen moment of Christmas Collection 2012
This is much lighter and less brown.
This kind of reminds me of UD Bordello, how do you think they compare? Love your swatches, this colour is my favourite of the six too!
Bordello is a bit lighter and pinker!
Beautiful color on you! As I’m a redhead atm I might pick this one up, I don’t think I could wear it with my natural blonde but with the red I think it’d be really flattering. 😀 (Okay and this might sound weird but, I really love your eyebrows. Jealous!)
How does this compare to Urban Decay YDK?
YDK is browner!
Wonderful……………….Peace
It’s pretty, but not $21 pretty.
Gorgeous, gorgeous color! 😀
This is gorgeous. How does it compare to UD’s Bordello.
Bordello is a bit lighter and pinker!
Very pretty! I will have to take a look at this in person.
I used to stay away from these cool colors, as my skin has yellow undertones, but I recently discovered this shade is extremely flattering to my hazel eyes. Color theory is so confusing. Lol. I’m buying it! Thanks for the swatches. 😀
How does this compare with MAC’s rich core?
Rich Core is wayy darker!
This is very pretty. I also like the eye look that you put together. I would not pay $21, but I rarely pay full price for beauty items.
