I absolutely LOVE this mineralize eyeshadow! The light grey side is more like a shimmery sheer light white/silver, and it grey for an allover wash for brightenning! I like to put the dark grey...

I totally bought this because of MAC's SS09 repromote. The Black to Earth: Silver Stroke look just intrigued me to get it. It is a very sheer color but it's nevertheless beautiful in that it's...

I absolutely love this eyeshadow and it has been, by far, my favorite of all the mineralize shadows I own. I apply the darker side to my lid, and the lighter shade to my inner and outer corners or...

I love MAC, but when I started using their mineralize eyeshadows, I loved them even more!! I have never used such wonderful eyeshadows before. The mineralized are the best, and family silver is a...

I just bought my second Family Silver, because I decided I just had to have a backup, because I've almost used the one that I received in a swap!! This shadow doesn't show up on my eye like it...

It's amazing with this product to look at the pictures and to see how different everyones looks. Mine is divided equally with a lot of the gold veining, so I guess I lucked out! As everyone has...

Wow, I'm surprised at the lukewarm reviews this got. I LOVE IT. But then, it's not true in color i.e. when you put it on it looks more sheer and not as densely pigmented with repeat layers. But...

I knew going into buying this that the color payoff would be minimal, so I can't complain about that. In fact, it's not necessarily a bad thing for me. Some days I want to wear shadow but not...

Feh. Mac can do much better than this. Family Silver looks brilliant in the pan, but on the eyes, it falls flat. As others have noted, it's very sheer. Wetting your brush turns it into an...

Another great find at CCO! Again, since I missed the Antiquitease line over Holiday '07, I was happy to find something from the line at a fraction of the cost! The actual colors are gorgeous! I...

Super-pretty. I love the shimmer, I love the color, I love how you can pick out the individual grains of copper-gold veining even when it's applied. I wish it were a teeny bit more pigmented, but...
