A great silvery, lilac grey lustre e/s that looks good with a combination of colours: I've used it with blues, silvers, greys, purples. I love using this and lining with a dark blue with my brown eyes and NC20 skin. Although the chunks do fall off, I don't mind so much - a great colour!

Gorgeous colour: a soft, shimmering grey lavendar with glitter. Comes out suprisingly sheer - use one of those foam applicators to pack the colour on. I put on quite a few layers to make it show up on my skin - I'm an NC40, but it's worth the effort. It gives me a lovely smokey eye, that's not too smokey for work, I'd definitely buy this again, I think the colour is stunning. Usual MAC quality.

Idol Eyes is a very sparkly silvery purple. It looks gorgeous on my blue eyes. The Lustre formula applies easily and lasts. I will repurchase this colour. Me: N1/NC15, blue eyes, blonde hair.

Idol Eyes (a very beautiful lavender-blue hue with lots of silvery glitter) is my all-time-favorite eyeshadow by MAC!

I'd give this 2 and a half lippies if I could. This is the first MAC eye shadow I don't like. It looks so pretty in the pan, but when I try and apply it, all that shows up is glitter. :( I'm going to try it on top of another purple eye shadow, as another reviewer suggested.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone that likes shimmer. I love this color and looks great as a shadow and a highlighter.

EXCELLENT shadow. It looked so dark in the pot, but as usual MAC manages to come up with another great chameleon shade. I am a PPP and can use this in many different ways. Used alone over a shadow base, it is beautifully sheer, with a slight lilac/gold/silver tint. Used over a MAC CCB, it can be metallic silver/black. It looks fantastic with Trax on the outer corners and in the crease. This shade is worth a try for any skin tone.

I really love this color, it is a glittery silver lilac, very metallic in finish. The lilac doesn't really show up on me, but with another purple e/s blended in with it, it looks stunning. Very sexy.

This is a pale blue-toned purpley grey eye shadow with silvery glitter. I don't think I'd buy it again because it's very very unpigmented so you have to apply *loads* and even then you can't see it very well. I do, however, think it makes a fantastic eye look with Shale e/s, Nylon e/s and Prunella e/l, so that is one hell of a redeeming factor for this otherwise useless eye shadow. I suppose I love it and hate it at the same time!

*sigh* This looks so amazing on pan. Very glittery silver-grey. But it actually shows up as very subtle grey on lid - very blah. Nothing like I expected. Not to mention the chunky glitters that always end up on my cheeks.

Ooooooh! I'm in love with this color! It is such a beautiful, sheer silvery purple color with hints of blue. I love to wear this as a wash with Jane's eyezing purple heart on a small crease and above my eyeliner. Makes my green eyes pop. One of my faves.

Great on green eyes! It's a shimmery greyish lavender with gold shimmer...lovely! This looks nice as a lid or crease color, and used wet the shimmer comes out really nicely.

I thought I would love this but this looks very shiny and almost too shiny.I was hoping to wear this as a wash but I will probably wear it with another color to tone down the shine.

A glittery silver-lavender color. This is so pretty and fun! It becomes tedious to layer it after a while because the silver glitter ends up all over my cheeks. I use this with Dovefeather and they make a charming duo! Very sexy!

NC20, hazel eyes. Idol Eyes is a lovely light silvery lavender with major shimmer, as it is one of the MAC lustre shadows. I prefer to apply this e/s wet, as it tends to minimize loose shadow ending up on my cheeks while maximizing the color payoff of Idol Eyes. This is a nice shadow for anybody who likes lavender shadows.

Sparkly, shimmery light bluish purple. Very shimmery -- almost metallic. Like a lot of MAC's shimmers, I don't think this goes on well without a cream base. But with the base, it's amazing. It's quite pale and very girly. Easy to wear. I pair this with Smashbox's Lava Liner with awesome results. It's as if they were made for one another.

I love idol eyes so much! I have been meaning to purchase this for the longest time and I finally got it! IT's such a pretty color in itself. Took off one lippie cuz its not very pigmented, but thats OKAY! don't not buy it because of this because the color is gorgeous IMO!
