    This is a nice like mauvy purplish color that doesn't pack on color as much. Meaning, it's not as pigmented in my opinion. I will admit that it goes great when doing a smokey eye and blends well. I...

    I recently bought this and its one of my new favorite colors! You have to see it in person. It looks lighter than what it is on Macs website and personally I think it looks a little more shimmery...

    One of my favorite eyeshadows for work and when doing a purpley/gray neutral eye. I use it most often with Seedy Pearl or Crystal on the lid and it in the crease and Urban Decay 1999 to line. I...

    Shale is one of the many under-rated MAC eye shadows. Not many people talk about it and I admit, it doesn't look that flattering in the pan but you can actually do a lot with it. It's a mid-tone...

    My mom gave me this shadow because she thought it was too shimmery for her and I'm in LOVE. It's perfect for my skintone and conservative enough for work. It's the perfect mauve but not to bright,...

    I like the color in the pan, and it looks good on me. It is easy to blend and it holds well. The only reason that I took a lippie off was the fact the shadow lacks pigment, so it takes time to get...

    I love this color because it is such a subtle purple! I love to put this on my entire lid just past the crease, and put MAC Print shadow on the outer half of the lid for a smokey eye that isn't too...

    This is my go to color for when I want some color and step away from my browns and tans. I love using this on my lid. I also like this product because I feel there are gray or sliver undertones...

    I love the shade... but they need more pigment with this one. It's as sheer as Shroom. It stays on the line of sheer, shimmery, and mild. It would be so pretty if they would step it up a bit. You...

    I like this colour. I've had it for about 8 years (I don't wear make-up everyday! it's almost done though...), and the texture hasn't changed. Great long lasting product. Very buildable, and fairly...

    This is the only eyeshadow from MAC that I wasn't impressed with. The pigmentation isn't all that great, I had to really pack on this eyeshadow.

    I loved this since the first time I tried it on. Didn't think I would, but I did. I expected it to be a slightly purplier Satin Taupe, which is partly true - similar effect, different tone. This is...

    Simply heavenly! The shade is a complex purply mauvy brown with a gorgeous sheen. It's well pigmented and easy to blend, without any fallout. One of the top neutrals in the permanent line, IMO. ...
