Eyeshadow

I totally agree with this websites description, "MAC Amber Lights is a very warm-toned, medium-dark copper with a frost finish". The color is wonderful in the pan, the issue is that the warm copper undertones look very unflattering on me, it makes my eyes look tired, almost red. Otherwise, for a frost eyeshadow it's very pigmented, easy to apply and blend, very smooth formula. It has some fallow, big chunks of shimmer, but it's not unusual for this type of finish. Lasts all day with a good primer without creasing or fading.

Trust me when I say this product is NOT for sensitive eyes. Great color though if you don't have allergies.

MAC Greystone is a dark cool toned matte gray, perfect for one shadow grunge looks. On me (light-medium, warm yellow undertones) I noticed more petrol undertones, not really bluish. For a dark matte the formula is incredibly easy to build and blend, with the proper technique I don't get any patchiness. The pigmentation is incredible, I get full opacity from the first swipes. I never noticed any fallout during application.

MAC Glitch in the Matrix is a beautiful cool toned metallic grey; on my warm yellow complexion it shows some flattering blueish undertones. The color has medium opacity, but it's easy to build to full opacity. For a metallic it's surprisingly easy to blend and lasts all day long without fading or creasing. It's one of the MAC formulas that it's prone to fallout both when picking up with a bush and during the day, but not significant. It just requires more prep and care.

MAC That's Showbiz Baby is a beautiful emerald green with subtle gold sparkle. It's quite sheer from the start, it requires quite some building to get full opacity, but that makes it a versatile color (I can go from a sheer wash to a glam medium-dark). The big issues is this eyeshadow has tons of fallout. And it's not just during application, it continues to flake all day long messing up my under eye concealer.

MAC Cobalt light-medium bright blue with hints of purple, very suitable for people that are into pastels. It's not really my kind of color, but the eyeshadow in itself is pretty good. It's slightly powdery, but it doesn't cause fallout. It's quite sheer on first application. but it's easy to blend and build. With a basic eyeshadow primer it stay put all day without creasing.

Power to the Purple is a bright medium matte purple with cool undertones, a color that I see more suitable for a make-up artist kit than a regular user since it's so... colorful. The eyeshadow is very pigmented, buildable to an intense color, but it's a color hard to work with, requires a lot of blending skills to not apply patchy. Also, it's one of the most powdery MAC formulas. I can't simply apply this eyeshadow without having lots of pick-up and it's definitely mandatory to do the eyes first because it gives tons of fallout (and purple eyeshadow is hard to clean).

MAC Patina is unique beautiful taupe-brown gold in the pan, but lacks pigmentation; no matter which brush I tried I could only get a light wash of color. I guess layering on top of something more opaque would help, but I personally don't bother with that. I would actually say it has more cool undertones, maybe even some greyness. The formula is very prone to fallout, when I pick it up with a brush I get almost chunky bits.

Vanilla is one of those classic MAC eyeshadows that have a place in (almost) everyone's eyeshadow collection. It's an absolutely boring color, a slightly warm light beige which is the perfect option when I want a white without actually using a white eyeshadow. My complexion is light-medium with warm yellow undertones and Vanilla works either as a base for other colors (all over the eyelid) or a subtle highlighter (inner color, brow bone); the satin finish makes it good for both purposes. It's definitely a sheer eyeshadow, somewhat buildable but not enough to get fully opaque. It blends easily, doesn't have fallout.

When I purchased MAC Quarry I expected a light mauve, perfect for a transition color. The color is a gorgeous cool toned mauve taupe that looks incredibly flattering on me. But I'm around NC 20 (light-medium with warm yellow undertone) and the color is more of a medium taupe on me. Looks amazing as a one shadow look, but I can only use it as transition with darker shades. Needless to say, it's very pigmented and opaque from the first swipe. The formula is very good, blendable, buildable, long lasting, crease resistant; it has a little bit of kickback in the pan but no fallout. It's one of those MAC eyeshadows I always want to have in my collection.

MAC Arena is a very warm toned beige with hints of orange / peach. Although in the pan it appears a medium color, the pigmentation is very sheer so it translates very light on the eyelids. Medium to tan undertones most likely could use this color as a sheer highlighter. The formula isn't the best; as most MAC frost finishes it's a little bit powdery but in big `chunks`, not dusty. But since it's barely opaque, I don't notice the fallout.

Brown Script is in terms of formula is one of the best MAC eyeshadows. Incredibly easy to blend and build, a little bit powdery in the pan but doesn't cause fallout, no patchiness typical to matte shadows, stays put all days without creasing. The color is just not for me; it's too warm, too orange, too red for my complexion (light-medium with warm yellow undertones), it just makes me look sick and tired.

MAC Wedge is a muted light taupe I initially purchased as a transition shade for all my neutral looks. On me it's only slightly warm, more towards neutral. It's more taupe / beige than brown. The pigmentation is quite impressive, it's not sheer at all. Although described as a light brown, on me it looks more medium (MAC NC20). It's borderline a transition shade, I can use it easily as a one eyeshadow look. There's minimal fallout, the eyeshadow is incredibly easy to blend and build, it's one of the best MAC matte formulas. If I use it all over the lid the other eyeshadows blend like a charm on top. I have no issues with the lasting power.

I love a grunge neutral gray, and MAC Print hits all the points for me. I'm an NC20 and Print is sufficiently dark to make a statement / add some drama, but light enough it's wearable enough without me looking black-eyed (I can comfortable wear it during the day time sheered out). The eyeshadows applies lighter initially and requires building up, but I like the control and versatility I get. Although I usually go for mates, the satin finish makes it easier to blend; usually greys are very had to work with. Also, once blender, there's almost no shimmer left behind. The formula is more on the harder side, with a bit of fallout. Not the best MAC formula, but the beautiful color is worth the extra work.

Cranberry is one of the most famous MAC eyeshadows, but personally I didn't really like it. It might be just my complexion, but the eyeshadows looks very pink on me, there's no plum, cranberry or burgundy tones. Applied on the eyes it has a very low pigmentation; even if I build it up it has a medium opacity and no real darkness. The eyeshadow has a very light shimmer once applied on the eyes. I have to admit that it was a very easy to work with formula, easy to build and blend. There was a lot of fallout, but during application and wear.

MAC Blackberry is a beautiful quite unique dark mauve, too bad that the formula isn't the best. Mauves are usually flattering on me (dark brown eyes and hair, light-medium yellow warm pigmentation), but this looks surprisingly good on me. The formula is one of the most dry MAC matte ones. The good part is that there's no fallout. The bad is that it tends to be quite patchy if not blended properly. It looks beautiful all over the lid or in the crease, but since it's so hard to blend properly I used it more often to line my lash line. While a very dark color in the pan, the color pay off isn't the best once applied; it's a medium pigmentation that can be build up to higher opacity.

MAC Brun is that kind of brown that is neutral and boring, while still an interesting shade. I'm not a fan of very red warm browns, so this neutral-taupe almost grey brown gives the grungy vibes that flatter my looks. The shade is indeed quite chameleonic, it look differently depending on what other shades you pair it with. I'm loving the ashy tones I get with it applied all over the lid. While it's a matte shade, I would almost call it a satin, it's not a flat matte finish. It's not the most blendable matte possible, there were times when it applied patchy. But it's a workable shade if I take the time. It's not an opaque shade from the first go, needs some work to built. But this makes it more versatile.

MAC In The Shadows is a beautiful blue that pops up on the lid. The color is quite sheer on first application, but opacity can be built easily. I like the versatility of bring able to get a sheer light blue or a bold denim blue. The color is satin, it looks mate on the lids, but with a little bit of extra something that doesn't make it flat. At first the shade looks like it's not blending well, but with a bit of work it blends without patches. It also works well with flat packing brushes, although you have to tap the brush well to avoid fallout. With a good eye primer the eyeshadow doesn't crease or fade during the day.

I made an account on this website solely to confirm that this eyeshadow is , indeed, a patchy dud. The longevity is good and that's about it.

Greensmoke is a MAC eyeshadow that kind of disappointed me. There's barely any color pay off, and the formula is stiff and dry (or maybe I got a dud). At first application it's very sheer and I need several layers to build some opacity. But there's almost no fallout and the eyeshadow ends up being somewhat buildable. A wet brush might be better for application, but it's not something I do. Once applied, there's barely any shimmer. The color is more like a muddy golden olive, a little bit ashy and cool. I would describe it more like light-medium, it's not a dark color. It can easily be an one and done all over the lid color, but it also looks good with various shades in the crease. The staying power is quite good, doesn't crease or fade for 8-10 hours.

Mine is not like the one on here at all. Mine swatches patchy and sheer, is very chalky/rough feeling and blends away to nothing. On top of that it also seals up very fast which makes it even more difficult to work with. :(

MAC Antiqued is a great copper toned eyeshadow, very warm and redish-brown, medium-dark. The pearl finish formula is amazing, easy to pick with a brush, not too much fallout, easy to blend or to pack on the lid. It's a versatile eyeshadow that can work for one eyeshadow look. The pearl finish is very subtle. Unfortunately the redness simply doesn't look flattering on me; but it looks wonderful on so many other people.

Shadowy Lady is one of those MAC more stiff/dry matte eye shadows. The formula is slightly harder to pick up with brushes, has almost no fallout and it's quite tricky to blend. It's easy to get a somewhat patchy result, but it's a workable formula with good brushes and blending skills in the end. It's a buildable formula, I can easily play from sheer to full opacity. In the pan the color is a cool toned dark plum, but once applied in a look it becomes a generic dark color, vaguely distinctly plum. It's a versatile color, works from blending in the crease to packing on the eyelid. I like it better as an eyeliner, applied closely to the lash line; it adds definition with that extra something of not being a full black. Once applied it stays put all day, no creasing or longevity issues, especially when using a primer.

I originally bought this thinking this may be a good contour shade; and it is, if placed nearest to the ears-under cheek bone and used with a a small fluffy brush. However, I can get carried away quickly (personal error), then it clings onto my textured skin bumps (especially on my nose), so I stopped using it for that contour purpose. On my lids, pigment is great even without primer, texture is fine and long-wearing, however, I am not a fan of how it clashes with my yellow undertone. I was about to declutter this. Remembering why I bought this as a contour color made me realize, and turns out to be, Coquette is my ideal brow shade to mimic the shadow of my brows. It makes them look full in the most natural way! At this point, it's a great value for brow powder that will last for ever. if you are darker than me, or neutral-cool toned, this could be a multi-purpose face color.
