I wasn't so sure of this brown-red color at first but ended up finding so many combinations of colors that involved it that I am now loving it! Would buy again.

All purpose brown, on the warm side, matte. I find this is a great liner for daytime and if I apply it a little heavier, it can be used for smoky eyes. Also great for contour. A must-have basic.

This is a great brown for the outer V. It is dark enough to kinda make your eyes pop and make them look bigger. It is more for darker skin tones. I recommend this product!!!

It's a good thing I didn't buy this until long after I had fallen in love with MAC because I do not like it. It is very hard to blend and to be blunt, it is an ugly, matte, boring color. I love...

Embark is a matte chocolatey brown with a red undertone. It's nicely pigmented, blends easily but the color doesn't work for me, it's too warm. Many times if you have a cooler complexion with a...

I like this color, it's a dark brown with reddish purple undertones. I just don't like how dry it is, it's very hard, not soft in texture like my other MAC shadows, and it's very easy to put to...

Still looking for my perfect brown. This one is too dark/dramatic for me. I have to apply with a very light hand. However, it is long lasting, and very high quality as all MAC shadows in my opinion.

Embark eye shadow is a chocolate-y brown. I like that it has a slight red to it since that is difficult to find. The matteness makes this look amazing in the crease. The texture makes it easy to...
