    At first I was reluctant to buy this eyeshadow because of the recent bad reviews, but I just decided to try it out for myself. And I have to say that I am glad I didn't listen to all the bad...

    I really tried to love this item. I tried it with def combos and just does not work for me. Looks like someone hit me in the eye. This is a purple/grayish color. I tried to pack it on to try to...

    I bought this for a neutral/pink tone and use it almost every day either with other pink/purple colors or with blues. My skintone has a lot of red undertones and this color looks lighter on me than...

    I really love this color. It's a very wearable color that's not too bright or too purple. I like to pair it with Vex.

    This is a shimmery medium dusty gray-purple. It looks good as a crease color, or as an all-over lid color and also as a smoky eye color. I wear it with black liquid liner and it looks awesome. ...

    I love this eyeshadow, the pigmentation is wonderful and application is very easy. I usually pair it with graphology on the crease. The color looks grayish purple on my fair skin, but it...

    If there's a dupe for this I don't want to know -- I bought it sight unseen after liking the effect on a Temptalia tutorial, and I'm so happy I did.

    Such a unique colour! I can't imagine ever finding a dupe for this, I use it when I want a change from my usual gold/browns. If you only buy one eyeshadow from mac then I recommend this one...

    It's a hard shade to pull off, but I usually pair it with another colour in the same shade family. It looks great by itself also.

    I don't know why I waited so long to pick this gem up. I love purple shadow with my blue eyes and Shale does not disappoint. On my fair skin it is a light greyish-purple. It doesn't make my eyes...

    I like this shade. Reminds me of Satin Taupe but with much more purple undertones. This brings out my green eyes. I like it with Nocturnelle or Shadowly Lady.

    This is a gorgeous, soft eyeshadow. As the reviewer below said, it is unique but still muted enough to be used as a neutral. I got it to wear everyday instead of a brown color. Love it and the...

    This could be more pigmented, but the color (greyed plum with a silver sheen) is so flattering to me that I'm giving Shale a 5 anyhow. <br> This sort of eyeshadow shade seems to be my absolute...

    This is an ok product. I love the colour in the pan, but it is not very pigmented so requires a lot of layering to get the desired look. This left me disatisfied...if I buy a colour, I want it to...
