Described as Beached blonde (Lustre) but I would say it's a nice highlighter with some reflex in it. I wouldn't buy this color again but I crumbled on the hype and purchased it. I've used it 2...

This is a beautiful shadow. I just got it about a month ago and have since worn it as a wash about 3 times. I apply it heavily, using my Sigma SS239 (a Mac dupe) brush. This brush, I've found,...

Retrospeck has got to be one of my absolute FAVOURITE eyeshadow shades ever. I do agree with most people, that the fallout can be a pain, but the colour itself, the pigmentation and the...

Beautiful, beautiful color, but the only problem is the fall out. I have to use this wet or else it turns into a mess.

very nice neutral color, well pigmented and not chunky at all, no fall outs. I like to pair it with golds and browns.

L.O.V.E this eyeshadow. A make up obsessed friend bought me it for a present and it's been a stable eyeshadow for me ever since. I wear it on its own in the day and as a highligher in the evening....

I was kind of skeptical about this color while I was looking at this in the store (i HATE their lighting at the MAC store). I thought it would be a decent highlight color, so I had a talk with the...

This is such a gorgeous colour! It was my first MAC eyeshadow and since then I've probably repurcashed about four times. I use Retrospeck everyday to highlight my tear duct & my brow bone. It looks...

I agree with others who said there is just way too much fallout with this one. It's a glittery mess, IMO.

This was one of the first eyeshadows I bought, along with trax. I really didn't think I would wear it all that much at first, but it has a nice dent in it now. It looks really pretty on the lid,...

I love mac and their shadows, but this is one that I'm not a big fan of. Too much fall out and you realllly have to use something under "painterly" to make it last and stay on lone. Wouldn't buy...

I love the color of retrospeck. It's not too gold and not too frosted. As always, MAC has great blendability. I used it on my wedding day and it was a nice shimmery wash of color. I paired it with...

This is one of the only Lustre eyeshadows I use from the MAC range. I find it is the only one that gives a colour payoff and doesn't just flake off like the others do. It is the perfect champagne...
