    Very interesting colour that really stood out to me. It's a reddened, earthy purple that has a metallic finish. Blendable, smooth, pigmented.

    As others have mentioned, this really doesn't show up as 'violet'. I prefer to wear cooler shades on my olive complexion and purples/violets look awesome.... except this one. I feel this had too...

    Great colour for green eyes! Its a very pretty pinky-purple with a metallic sheen to it. I would advise not bringing it into or above the crease, as it could make your eyes look too red. Overall,...

    Not violet, but pretty nonetheless! The Veluxe Pearl finish is wonderful, blends well and doesn't crease. I expected it to be super pigmented but it's not. Not to say that it's sheer though, it...

    The name is a bit deceivng I think. The color is more of a burgundy. It looks really nice layered over the outer corner crease color because it will draw more warmth to the eye. It is a very...

    My first MAC eyeshadow, and I love it, although it's a little dark for every day wear. I can't put too much on as it makes my green/yellow eyes look a bit like I've been crying. However, used as a...

    I looooove this shadow! The name of the shade almost scared me away. Pinks, violets, plums and even browns never worked for me (I have olive skin and dark shadows and plums made me look dead). ...

    Very cute for a Megan Fox look. Not my favorite shade for lighter hair, but nice when I had darker hair!

    This shadow is a gorgeous color - I use it for a smokey eye look with Beauty Marked, Haux, and Vex. I adore it (I've already hit pan and need to purchase a backup).

    This is what I wish Trax would've been. This applies smoothly with great color payoff. It makes my hazel/green eyes pop. It has a plummy gold tone. This will not disappoint. Today I have blanc type...
