I got mine a couple months back at a CCO for $10.25. It is worth every penny. This shadow is well pigmented and blends nicely. I haven't worn it too many times but when I have I paired it with Off The Page (a sunny golden orange) and a skin hued highlight. I am not too certain this would be a good choice for anyone who is really fair skinned or those afraid of color. For reference I am a NC42.

I think Post Haste is a gorgeous color. It's definitely shocking red/pink in the pan, but looks amazing when applied on the outer third of the lid and up into the crease. I found it very wearable that way (I applied Gesso over the whole lid and Sushi Flower on the outer 2/3). Very blendable too!

Wow, people. Don't hate just because you have no idea how to use a hot pink!

First, this color is amazingly pigmented. The texture is a perfect, as are all the matte squared from MAC. It goes on bright and blends like a dream.

For everyone that says this color makes them look sickly, I'm going to guess you have trouble with all pinks. Your bad, not the shadow. Tips:

1) Don't wear this if you're warm toned, because even though its a "hot" pink, it's blue-based.

2) If you look sickly or like you've been crying, try using this as a crease color with a dark black or dark maroon on the lid. Putting pink on your lid makes you look sickly.

3) If using black on your lid is too dramatic, try using a shimmer beige or white in the inner corner/half of the lid, the pink on the rest of the lid and use a brown or taupe in the crease with a dark brown or black in the outer-v.

Pink is hard if you don't know what you're doing. Please don't blame it on this amazing eyeshadow.

I may be a little bit biased because every time I see a red eye product, I HAVE to get it. It's like an illness I have. I got this at CCO, so I bought two. I love to smear it all over my upper and lower lids in a messy fashion as the primary shadow, so not for the faint of heart.

It's definitely a wonderful eyeshadow if you can wear it. If not, don't get it because you'll hate yourself for buying it. It's hard to find someone willing to swap for something like this. Don't buy it unless you can test it out first.

Such a pretty color. It shows up almost RED on me with a primer, more sheer and natural without. I love it. It's very unique, and I always get complimented. I rarely use matte shadows, but this one is a must for me. It blends wonderfully, the pigmentation is great, and it wears a long while. I wear this at least once a week, so fun

I really like this color. I agree with the other poster that it is a true magenta color. It is one of the few colors that are in the pink/purple family that I can actually pull off and not look bruised. For reference, I am MAC NC25, Medium to pale skin tone. It is easy to blend and a little goes a long way. It pops really well when used with primer and reminds me of the color you would use for a geisha look. It is not a must have, but if you are looking for a bright color in the pink/purple family, I would recommend this one. This is one of the those colors that pop in and out of the CCO from time to time.

i hate this color and have no idea why i bought it. every time i see it in my palette i kind of want to throw up. maybe reds/pinks just don't look good on me, but i swear, there's something about this color that's just so off putting. the texture is okay and blendable, but i've never seen it done well!

This is a beautiful deep pink that is almost red...I really did try wearing this on my eyes several times. But every single time even toning it down, it made my extremely pale skin looked bruised.

I love wearing this as a blush mixed with a highlighter, but this just makes me look like I'm sickly, which is definitely not attractive by any means.

This is a WOW ! - vibrant raspberry-magenta pink flat color - no shimmer at all - very matte - but blends surprisingly well. I thought it would give me "bunny eyes" but it did not. I mixed it in with Elizabeth Arden Topaz and that combo turned out very pretty. I like this but would not buy it again because it is just something for a change, or for fun ... but it is nice, I like it and glad I bought it.

Really fun shade, only need a tiny bit to work with. I layer it with Star Violet and Sushi Flower. Great for a night look. I was looking for a pink that wasn't a pink-red, pink-grey, or any of the other combos you can get which add too many contrasting undertones. This is a genuine magenta. I said no to a repurchase simply because I can't see myself ever running out of this product, so little is used. Sometimes I'll just start with this in the crease and then add BE's Pink Opal shimmer over the entire lid for a pretty daytime eye.

Post Haste is a limited edition color that came out in the Matte 2 Collection. It is very similar to MAC's Passionate (mid-tone red) eye shadow which is available in the permanent collection. Post Haste is much smoother and easier to apply that Passionate. Post Haste is a muted fuchsia, a bit darker than Passionate. Whenever I wear this color in the inner corner of my eyes, it simply brightens up my makeup. Do not look at the color in the pan and be afraid to wear it! You can use the 224(tapered blending brush) and make Post Haste look very natural and sheer. I love this color, but it is not a staple in my makeup collection. This is not one of those MAC LE colors that I would hunt down on eBay for. However I am still giving Post Haste a 4 rating because of the great pigmentation, it is very bendable, and applies smoothly.

Although some matte shadows are difficult to work this, this shadow is smooth, a tad creamy, & nicely pigmented. Very easy/pleasant to work with! shows up true (muted) fuschia...will look awesome on everyone!

*Pic ahead*

Don't let this scary bruise colour on my arm scare you.



When applied at the ends of my eye, with brown as the main colour, Post Haste makes my eyes look large. I suspect it's because it makes my eye socket look more sunken in, I'm not sure.

I would caution against wearing it alone though; for me, it made me look like I got punched. It's better with another colour, and I find that brown for me is the perfect combination.

I would like to post a picture of my eye makeup but I have pretty amateur makeup skills, so... better not. :)

I bought this on the offhand that I need a bright red color. Unfortunately it came out hot pink instead (the reason for 1 less lippie). Although I do have a question. I find that with the matte2 e/s, the color tends to look "washed", not the vibrant color that you get with the frosts. Its hard to layer or am I just doing it wrongly? Help

This is a really fun shade. I went to the MAC counter with the intentions of finding something other than my standard browns and purples. It was a slow day and I had a very helpful MA who suggested this as a "wow" color. It looked red in the pan under the store lights, but the MA assured me that it was hot pink (I look dreadful in reds). She offered to apply it with the Stars n' Rockets that I had already chosen. I was expecting the worst. To my surprise, with a light hand and good blending, this stuff looked fabulous with my green eyes. My eyes looked HUGE and bright blue/green. I really like that it's matte and a nice, easily blended matte, at that. I tend to immediately go for sparkly things, but I really needed a bit of a change. This fit the bill in finish and color. Looks great with Beauty Marked as a liner and Stars n' Rockets for a dramatic eye and tones down nicely when used with Digit. I have a feeling that Post Haste and Digit will be my fun spring eye this year.

I love this color! I had my eyes set on buying passionate, but several people have said that this color looks almost exaclty the same...so I figured I'd try out the new Matte2 line :) and I am glad I chose to buy Post Haste instead! This color seems more red than pink, but if you apply it lightly it looks more pink. I pair this with UDPP and it stays on well. Matches well with black and purples. Not having any shimmer makes this shadow a good candidate for layering on top of shimmery cream eyeshadow bases such as paint pots or Benefit cream shadows.
