Frostwinked

MAC Frostwinked Extra Dimension Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a pale, white gold with a gold-to-green shifting sparkle. It had sheer coverage applied dry with semi-opaque coverage applied with a dampened brush. The consistency was drier and on the flakier side, so the product needed to be applied with fingertips or using a dampened brush to help the powder come together and apply more evenly to the skin. It wore well for seven hours on me with minor fallout over time.

It's Snowing

MAC It’s Snowing Extra Dimension Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium, plummy pink with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque coverage applied dry, and the color itself appeared lighter and more faded compared to application with a dampened brush, where it was fully opaque and a bit deeper. The texture was smoother and blendable, and it was the easiest to work with out of the four I tested. It stayed on well for seven and a half hours.

Delicate Drift

MAC Delicate Drift Extra Dimension Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a light, orange-toned gold base with peach-to-pink shifting sparkle. It had semi-sheer coverage applied dry, which intensified to mostly opaque coverage when applied with a dampened brush. The consistency was drier and with the amount of sparkle, almost gritty to the touch, so it did not work well dry as it had a lot of fallout and did not adhere well to the lid. With a dampened brush, it went on more smoothly and had more coverage, though I would recommend an adhesive base (even someting like MAC Fix+ helps a lot) to maximize coverage, evenness of application, and wear. On its own, it lasted for six hours (which is, surprisingly, what the wear time is marketed as) with minor fallout (used with a dampened brush).

Stylishly Merry #2

MAC Stylishly Merry #2 Extra Dimension Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium, golden copper base with gold-to-pink shifting sparkle. The texture was drier and looser with noticeable sparkly bits, so it was not particularly easy to use dry, as there was a lot of fallout and the color went on unevenly. With a dampened brush or over an adhesive base, it applied with better, more even coverage and looked smoother overall. It lasted for seven hours on me with slight fallout over time (applied with a dampened brush).
