This is a vibrant medium blue with a veluxe pearl finish. It adds a nice pop of colour to any look.

Freshwater is a strikingly bold medium ocean blue. I find this color really pops against my deep skintone and brown eyes. Mostly, I use this as a liner with deeper blue shadows I own (namely NARS Dark Rite and GA ETKI Blast of Blue) for a gradient effect. Since it's not something I wear often and I'm growing out of the bold eye color looks I adored in my early 20s, I will likely not repurchase. It's a beautiful color, though. If you like pigmented blues that are attention-getters, this one is for you.

Freshwater is a very intensely pigmented bright blue. I prefer to use it as a eyeliner. I used to use it a lot more when I was younger and preferred bolder looks. It's still a great eyeshadow, but I would not repurchase since I don't often reach for it.

This shadow is quite obviously bold! I used to be interested in brighter, smoky looks paired with nude lips but have since outgrown this. Aside from my own change in taste, it does works well! Blends and applies smoothly as with most Veluxe Pearl finishes. Looked gorgeous with a satin dress of the same true blue, sort of shade! Still, would not repurchase.

This is my favourite MAC blue! So easy to wear, I cover the lid in shroom, the crease almost to the brow with haux and then a generous swipe of freshwater under the lower lashes. Looks great and get loads of compliments. Also, doesn't shift all day!

Freshwater is a vibrant beautiful blue color that really pops. I love wearing this color along the upper lash line with either a brown or neutral if I want a more subtle look or purple color like parfait amour if I want something different. The veluxe pearl formula also makes it extremely smooth. This color makes brown eyes really stand out.

This was my first eyeshadow purchase from Mac and I absolutely love freshwater. I love my blues and this is a beautiful color that makes my dk. brown eyes pop. If you're a blue's kinda girl, pick this one up, you'll love it.

This is a unique color, which is why I bought it. The texture of this eyeshadow is amazing and it is very pigmented! This is one MAC shadow worth buying. I haven't gotten much use out of it yet, but I plan to start using it more often. I would repurchase is I ever ran out.
