MAC has repromoted this eyeshadow for Spring 2014 as part of their "By Request". I never had the chance to get this when it was available in past and I'm so happy to have it now. This deep...

Fiction is not a colour I would usually gravitate towards, but I'm so glad I took a chance! It's a rather unique deep olive green, with so much depth and dimension. I love to pair it with Shore...

Fiction is a beautiful, complex, dark greyed olive with a slight golden sheen. It's gorgeous used as a smokey eye just using this and black liner, with a subtle browbone highlighter. You can...

I bought MAC Humid in hopes of getting a pretty emerald tone, but Humid brought out the dark circles in my olive skin. When I got Fiction as a swap extra, I thought it would be the same deal since...

I don't understand how some people are *still* unaware of the existance of primers. If you use a primer any sort-UDPP, ArtDeco, TFSI, MAC Paints or Paint Pots, you can sign peace with almost every...

I would repurchase this again, if I could, but I understand it's discontinued. Maybe they will bring it back in a LE collection or something, though! (MAC has a way of doing that sometimes). I...

When I read the description of Fiction, I thought that the gray/green combo would be great with my hazel eyes and NW20 skin.<p>Sadly, no. It's gorgeous in the pan, as another reviewer mentioned,...

Despite the good reviews here, I was a little disappointed in this eye shadow. I find it a bit boring and blah. I think it’s also a little dark for my PPP C2 skin and blonde hair and blue eyes....

this is a smoky soft green colour. I use it as eyeliner only – for a softer smudgy look than my usual gel liners, and so perfect for low key days (paired with a light wash of soft shimmery shadow...

Wow, this is alot more than I expected. Sad to see it recently got discontinued. Its a slightly blackened olive green and looks great by itself. The olive-green is very subtle, far away it can look...

Im surprised that this is one of the 'less well known' MAC shadows. I love this so much! The first time I used it it really brought out the colour of my eyes and made them look amazing! Fiction is...

Got this for my hazel eyes to play up their green tones. Semi-successful, but really looks best, as another member said, when applied thickly (perhaps with a wet brush) rather than as a "wash." I...

"Fiction" is a smoky/dirty, dark olive green. Nice color and pretty good pigmentation, though the texture is not as soft and blendable as other e/s I've tried (including DG ones). Would not buy...

Ficiton is a golden "dirty" green that is almost identical to Greensmoke. It's a pretty color I just don't wear enough but should. Really compliments my dark dreen eyes and is soft enough to wear...
