MAC Greystone is a very cool-toned, medium-dark gray with a matte finish. It is a permanent eyeshadow that retails for $17.00 and contains 0.05 oz.

Editor's Review

MAC Greystone Eyeshadow ($17.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a medium-dark, bluish-gray with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had medium coverage, which was buildable to semi-opaque pigmentation over bare skin and closer to more opaque coverage over a primer. The texture was moderately powdery with a tendency to sheer out and yield some fallout during application. It lasted well for eight hours before I noticed signs of fading.

MAC re-released Greystone several years ago and, having read the reviews from the past on MakeupAlley, I thought it would be a good addition to my collection. I think I only really got this because it was a repromote and I feared it would be gone shortly. I should have saved my money. I have many better grey eyesadows and I find this one to be dry and patchy and difficult to blend out. Putting a bit of translucent powder over my eyeshadow primer does help with the blending out issue but it's just really not a great eyeshadow.

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.
