MAC Zestful Extra Dimension Eyeshadow ($21.00 for 0.07 oz.) is described as a “pale iridescent lime.” It’s an iridescent, pastel green with warm, golden-green sheen and a frosted, metallic finish. I don’t have any real dupes for it; Too Faced Fantasy island is warmer, yellower and bareMinerals Wicked is greener, warmer. Zestful has an aqua-ish base color with a warmer, more golden shimmer that gives it complexity.

Applied dry, it went on surprisingly smooth (smoother than other shades), and it had semi-opaque pigmentation. Applied damp, it was more intensely pigmented, and it appeared more metallic and even smoother. It is very reflective when swatched on the skin, but on the lid, it did seem to lighten a bit and the iridescent effect didn’t stand out as much. I think if it was paired with deeper, richer colors, it might pop out more (I just happened to use it alongside shades in this launch, and they all turned rather pastel applied), or it might be nice layered over black. The texture felt softer than a lot of other shades with this formula, though there was still a residual dryness, but it just seemed to bind and hold together better.   There was some very slight fading after six hours, but it wasn’t too noticeable.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!
