Great product, found at CCO. Its a champagne shade, very neutral and pretty. Good formulation because its not so metallic-y that it makes my eyes look swolen. Its a true champagne peach shade, no silver in it whatsoever which makes me so relieved! Pigmentation is okay. Its very pigmented but typical of what I expect of mac. it lasts an average amount of time. it works perfectly fine (but formula isn't anything spectacular or anything), basically the typical quality you would expect from MAC. However, it is the only true champagne shade that looks good on me (ATG is slightly orange) at the price range of under $20. Would repurchase again if i find it.. if not, i'll settle with ATG

I picked this up at my local CCO and it is a great all-over color. At the end of the day I did notice some minor creasing even with my UDPP. I still think this is a beautiful color and worth buying, so grab it if you see it at your CCO :)

This is the first MAC shadow I've used up completely (Naked Lunch will probably be next). I have all the similar shades (ATG, NL, Jest and other brands) and this is the one I just reached for more than others. To me it was a true, perfect champagne neutral when I didn't want something too pink or peach or golden. I miss it already! I don't wear MAC foundation, but was matched once at NC25.

I actually have this twice - once in the Fafi quad and once as a single pot. It's one of my fave no-brainer brightening peachy champagnes. It always makes me look more awake. I just slap it on with my 239 brush, throw on some mascara and go. Works really well for a 'no makeup look' if you want to brighten up with a pop of red lipstick later too. Wish it were perm. NC35-40.

I asked the MAC associate what would be a good color to go with Star Violet and she recommended Hey. They do look awesome together so I bought Hey. Gorgeous warmer, more golden version of naked lunch.

So the lighting at the CCO near me isn't great. This read neutral and beige in the store but at home, it's light and yellower (almost a buttermilk shade). Not great for NW25: with a normal layer of shadow applied on the lid, it's very light and too bright. For anyone with a few lines or wrinkles, it tends to highlight pretty much everything. It's fine for under brows, applied with a light touch - which is what it'll be used for now, but not too appealing otherwise.

This is what I wish ATG was on me. ATG turns a neon orange on my lids, while this is a peachy champange. I'm NW20, and I have tried every which way to make ATG look good on me, and it hasn't happened. So glad I got Hey at the CCO! If ATG is orange on you, get this. It is more peachy than the pink Naked Lunch, and more champange than the obnoxious ATG. THis is the perfect shade in between those two shadows, and I love it <3

I love love love this eyeshadow! Hey came in my one of the fafi eye quads a few years back. I totally fell in love and used it everyday all over the lid, as a highlight, and on the inner corners of my eye. When I hit pan a few months later i freaked out and tried to not use it as much because it was LE. I quickly rushed to the MAC counter to see if i could find a similar color. The only thing that came close was naked lunch or all that glitters....however...naked lunch is much more pink and all that glitters is much more orange than hey and I almost shed a few tears. Hey is a beautiful champagne eyeshadow that has some shimmer. It is the perfect nude eyeshadow for my skintone..not too pink...not too orange. Perfect for day or night. I had no idea they did a repromote few months ago until it was too late. Had i known about this LE shadow appearing once more I would have probably bought at least 3 backups and I never buy backups! That being said...I have heard that the stila eyeshadow in kitten is really similar so I guess I will try that since my pan of Hey officially ran out today.

Overall, a pretty eyeshadow. I wear it everyday all over my eyelids, and it adds a tint of color and shimmer (I'm NC15 so the pigment shows up on me). I've had it for about two months and already hit pan. I'd say I like it. :)

This is a exact dupe for Naked Lunch which is one of my favorite e/s. This is great in the inner corners and all over the lid with Satin Taupe in the crease. This is a perfect peachy-champagne shade which goes on smooth and it's not too glittery but has nice shimmer for everyday looks.

I purchased this eyeshadow when it came out with the Prep for Colour collection because I wanted a nice everyday champagne color for a lid wash. However, I ended up swapping it away because, like some other reviewers have mentioned, it looked EXACTLY like All That Glitters on me. Seriously, I couldn't tell the difference when I swatched them right next to each other. Perhaps Hey is SLIGHTLY pinker than ATG, but you can really only see the difference if you stare really hard at swatches on your hand or arm...They literally look exactly the same on eyelids. That being said, it's a beautiful color with a nice texture (though it feels more like a Frost than a Veluxe Pearl to me), so if you don't have ATG and are looking for a champagney color, this is a good one! But if you missed Prep for Colour and were mourning that you didn't get your hands on Hey, just pick up ATG instead :)

After weeks of using this eyeshadow, I can honestly say that it's one of my absolute favorites, and a total must-have for me. This is a perfect peachy, slightly pink champagne shade that isn't too over-the-top. The Veluxe Pearl formula is soft and buttery, and the shimmer is soft and gorgeous. Not glittery--just enough to give some definition. :) This eyeshadow is gorgeous in any way that I wear it. It's great as an all-over lid wash, and great as a wash with a matte shadow in the crease. It's great for the inner corners and for the eyebrow highlight. I love this eyeshadow so much that I actually bought a backup of it--and that's saying something for me. I'm a commitment phobe when it comes to makeup--I never buy the same thing twice. However, I repurchased this and I will again and again (unfortunately, it's limited edition).

I bought this the other day bcuz I thought it was a pretty color but after I got it I checked the reviews on here & the reviews were saying how it was similar to All that Glitters, which I already had! The two colors are slightly different but if you have one you don't need the other so I returned it. Its a LE color. But I don't feel I need it I'd rather get something else that I don't have.

This is a peach-toned champagne veluxe pearl shadow, which means that the color is super smooth, shimmery, with high pigmentation. Aside from loving the formula, I adore this shade as a go-to everyday shadow that you can apply slightly messily when you're in a hurry. If I can only grab one shadow, it would be this one, since it's perfect to swipe under my eyebrow arches, in my tear ducts, on the bridge of my nose, on the highest points of my cheeks, and right on my cupid's bow for a quick highlight that only takes a single swipe to get some shine going on. This trick may not work on darker skins, but it's lovely on my NC25-30 face. Regardless, it would still make a beautiful lid color, since champagne colors tend to be universally flattering. This is LE, so I would recommend grabbing this versatile shade while it's around.

I agree with the girls reviews before me. Hey is a very nice everyday color. It is on a pink base, where All That Glitters is more orange. I hate that this is a SE shadow. I foresee that this will definitely be a favorite.

I love this color... i've been looking for this shade for a while my all time favorite has been Mac's all that glitters, but i wanted something with a less orangy tone to it and Hey is perfect, for me it is a perfect lid color to use everyday and it goes so well with different shades on the crease. My favorite is to use this on the lid and woodwinked on the crease. It is shimmery, but i love shimmer so it does not bug me, also it is a veluxe pearl. I might have to go buy a backup because i think this will be my favorite for a very long time.

I've been looking for a champagney-beige eyeshadow from MAC for awhile (that wasnt' a lustre), and finally I've got one. Hey is a beautiful color. It really brightens the eye area and make the lids shimmer. It may not be a must have for some people, but I love neutrals and veluxe pearls, so this is a winner for me. I'd say the closest dupe would be Naked Lunch (though NL has more pink in it). Its also less orange than All That Glitters, and richer than Shroom. I wore it today with Era in the crease for a great neutral look. Love Love Love it!!!!!
