Photosphere

MAC Photosphere Electric Cool Eyeshadow ($22.00 for 0.07 oz.) is described as a "soft gold." It's a softened, light-medium champagne gold with warm undertones and a frosted, slightly metallic, finish. It had semi-opaque coverage at best, which tended to apply with semi-sheer color payoff in practice. The texture of this seemed slightly drier compared to past iterations of the formula, and it "thickened" on the lid and emphasized the skin's natural texture while applying unevenly. On me, the color lasted for eight hours before fading. Viseart Champagne (P, ) is darker, warmer. Dior Contraste Horizon #2 (LE, ) is less shimmery, darker.
