PERFECT inner corner color to brighten up the eyes. I only use it for that purpose so this is going to last me forever. Its buttery smooth & no fall out, as are most MAC frost eyeshadows. I would describe this as a frosty pale white gold with yellow undertones. So pretty! I've also used this as a cheek highlight and it photographs very well. However, I still prefer my NARS albatross for everyday use as it is more natural.

I LOVE this product. I love MAC in general, their packaging their prices and especially their quality. This eyeshadow is one of my favorites, its kind of a yellow-ish shimmery shadow that I use on a daily basis. I recommend it to anyone from teenagers to 40 year old women.

Love this eyeshadow. Perfect in the inner corner of your eye or as a brow bone highlight. A nice shimmery white/gold colour. For reference i'm NC 35 with warm golden undertones it looks great on my skin tone. My go to shade for highlighting. Will buy again and again.

I am obsessed with MAC eyeshadows... except for this one really :(. I am NW25-NW35 depending on the season, but this color just does not do me justice. It's way to light for my skintone, even as a highlight. I am typically more of a matte/satin finish girl, but i figured it'd be great to use as a highlighter/inner corner color. Not only was it just WAY too frosty and light for me, but it brought out any roughness/dryness of my delicate eye skin. I never notice that with my matte/satin shades.

What a shame. I really wanted to love this. Will stick to orb and brule from now on. Definitely a color for fairer-skinned/cooler toned ladies.

Wow. I was very into both mixing daybreak by clinique along with the Mac vanilla pigment but I was missing that pop pow like I used to get from benefits miss moon until now. Nylon is a fireworkkkkkk! It reminds me of the perfect shade of highlighter that adorns the face of the stunning Holly Madison. I am super white with very dark hair at the moment, so I will use this with Mac's swish shadow and I get a perfect splash of what I need. This color is versatile and amazing. It's just what I wanted. It can be intense when applied wet but is just perfect dry. On me, it looks like a pearly, iridescent, white gold that has a charming frosty feel. I have tried it on many skin shades and I am never disappointed to learn what this Nylon will do!

This is such a beautiful eyeshadow. Since purchasing this, I have completely neglected my MAC Vanilla pigment- which has been my Holy Grail brow bone highlighter for 2 years. As much as I adore Vanilla, I wanted something that was a little more mistake proof- and I just wanted to try something different. I like to stick to icy white/gold highlighters, as they look best on my complextion (NC15-20 for ref.) and Nylon is just beautiful. This is a perfect frosty white gold, similar to the Vanilla Pigment, but I would say Nylon is less white. I love a more shimmery/frosty highlighter, because I always have a matte crease color, and I like having a balance. I like putting this over my MAC painterly paint pot, or NYX milk Jumbo Pencil- it lasts all day, and a little goes a long way. I recently purchased a 15 pan pro palette, and I have 5 more eyeshadows MAC shadows I want to purchase, because I have fallen in love with them. I used to only use NYX shadows mostly, but with MAC it takes you a very long time to hit pan- whereas with a NYX eyeshadow it can only take up to 8 uses :( I highly suggest purchasing pro pan refills, as they are less expensive, and don't hog space.

I love this eyeshadow and I use it everyday. It's a very pretty light gold color, and it's very shimmery and frosty. I use it as a base color all over my lids or as a highlight color on my tearducts and brow bone.

I ADORE the frosty white gold goodness of Nylon, it reminds me of my Benefit TatteTale but in powder form. I bought it with intentions of wearing it all over the lid but no matter what primer or base I used, it creased and faded. I think that some super frosty eyeshadows just do that, they can't help themselves. Sadly I returned this e/s. :(

Really good highlighter for inner corner. It is very shimmery. No glitter chunks though. A very little goes a long way so use with caution. I apply it with a small pencil brush. it is my favorite highlighter for inner corner, but i still only give it four lippies. I kinda imagine there must be something even better out there.
