    Vanilla is an off-white eye shadow with low pigmentation. It doesn't have the worst pigmentation but I have to pick up quite a bit to make it show up on me (NW15 for reference). In the pan it has...

    My first MAC all over and highlight color. Like a lot and hit pan but I now prefer highlight colors that are less white and a bit warmer. I'm lt-med Asian w yellow undertones.

    It took me awhile to appreciate this shadow. I'm typically someone who prefers a little bit of a pearlescent hue in my highlight color but not all looks call for that. Vanilla is nice as a...

    This is an okay shadow. The color payoff is awful. If you want some kind of color, the only way you are going to get it is by scrubbing like there's no tomorrow. It's basically an off-white color...

    I have pretty fair skin and I like it. It's definitely good if you're just going for a natural effect. Also, use with a primer otherwise the application could just go wrong. Overall I like it. ...

    I wanted an off white eyeshadow to highlight or use over the lid to brighten up the eyes. This product is pigmented, lasted a while, and a very good color. I was debating this between blanc and I...

    this would be an amazing color if it weren't for the chalkiness, i much rather prefer blanc type over this shade

    This is the perfect highlight shade for me. It's a cream/off white shade that has shimmer in the pan but it doesn't show up when applied. When I don't know which eyebrow highlight to use I pick...

    In the pan this looks like a nice nudish bone colour, but the colour pay off just isn't that great. Save your money & by the pigment version instead.

    Meh.... it's ok. It was one of my first MAC e/s about 100 years ago and I still have it (which is NOT good news). I have light skin, so it does not do much for me. I am sure it probably looks...

    Works great as a brow highlighter. I'm NC 20, so it practically matches my skin. Nothing fantastic though, a highly dupable color.

    Ooooo see my pretty eyes! I love this shadow. It makes my eyes pop in a subtle way. I wore it on a hiking date so I would look pretty, but not impractically vain. Don't tell anyone. I will die...

    In my search for a slightly shimmery beigey off-white, this was my favorite. It's a nice color to do an all over wash with.

    Definitely a must have in your eyeshadow collection/palette! This is a GREAT highlighting color for eyebrow bones. It's amazing satiny color. It has shimmer in it, but it doesn't come off that way....

    This eyeshadow is okay. I have very fair skin so it doesn't work very well as a highlight. I often use it to put all over the lid for a simple school look. It works well for that, although I only...

    Generally, I love MAC eyeshadows, but I hate this one. It does not seem like it even shows up on my NW20 skin. I'm not even sure how to wear this shadow now.

    Vanilla is a gorgeous highlight. It is for those looks where shimmery highlight colors would be considered too much. On my lids I love wearing frosty colors like Naked Lunch, Satin Taupe,...

    This is my 'go-to' color. It works well on my pale Asian coloring and makes my eyes look fresh and bright. It's the perfect base for darker shades and makes a great highlighter too.
