MAC Omega is a slightly warm-toned, very light taupe with a matte finish. It is a limited edition eyeshadow that retails for $17.00 and contains 0.05 oz.

Editor's Review

MAC Omega Eyeshadow ($18.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a a darker, dirty beige with neutral, olive-leaning undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and blended out with ease. The texture was smooth, almost creamy with good substance to it, so it wasn't prone to sheering out to nothing when applied over bare skin. It wore nicely for eight hours before fading a bit.

Claims / Ingredients

These saturated shadows in neutral and metallic shades and multiple finishes stay on all day long with non-creasing, eight-hour wear. The result: potent colour payoff that applies evenly, blends well and can be used wet or dry.

Perfect to define nose contour

Omega is a muted but highly pigmented matte eyeshadow, but I don't agree with the color description the MAC website and Temptalia provide (or at least not on me). For me Omega is more like a grey-taupe, very cool toned, with nothing beige or brown in it. MAC Omega is not as stiff as other MAC eyeshadows; it has a little more kickback, but the fallout isn't bad at all. I agree that the formula in Omega is soft, smooth and blendable (very easy to work with). The color is quite pigmented, but buildable. Depending on the application technique and brushed used, I can either get a wash of color or a medium grey wash of color. I'm NC20-25 and Omega it's a great cool toned transition or deepening shade when applied with a fluffy brush. Packed on the lid, I can get a beautiful cool toned one-color grey look, quite grungy without being too strong.
