    I love this colour! I love to use naked lunch on the lid with contrast in the crease! Not a "must have" but I would repurchase.

    This is in my top 5 favorite MAC shadows. On me, Contrast looks dark blue with a tinge of dark violet and pewter/grey mixed in. Beautiful smoked out and perfect for smokey eyes that have some...

    I've had this color for years! I don't use it on a daily basis so its lasted for a very, very long time. Good for a smokey eye or with vanilla, ricepaper, and bronze. The color is a little tricky,...

    I have to agree that this is a great color for a smoky eye and for lining. It lasts forever since I just use it in the crease or the outer v. Love it!

    This is a fantastic shadow for a smoky eye or for lining. The shadow itself is an iridescent, blackened blue with just a hint of violet. It works incredibly well for smokey eyes. I tried it...

    MUA just did a medium smoky eye using just this and naked lunch. Very gorgeous and buildable. I will use this everyday as an eyeliner. This colour didn't scream "look at me" but really...

    I love this shadow. I actually use it as a liner because I'm a little pale to pull it off as a shadow. It's a beautiful color and a good alternative to black liner if black is too harsh for your...

    I really like this eye shadow used as a liner. I apply with a slanted brush with a thick layer to the top lid and a smoky barely there layer to the bottom lid. It works wonderfully with my pale...

    I pretty much use this eyeshadow on a daily basis. I find it's a lot darker and almost appears black-ish, especially if you layer up. However, I like it because it is dark enough to accentuate the...

    A lovely very dark blue-black colour with a hint of dark blue shimmer. Love it for blue smokey looks and blue combination all together. Pigmentation is great and staying power too.

    I usually do dark smokey eyes when I go out, and have always used MAC's Carbon to do so. However, I just got Contrast and it is not as harsh or dark as Carbon for smokey eyes. I love it! It...

    Nothing special IMO. Looks gorgeous in the pot...a deep blue grey with subtle glints of shimmer...but on my lids, it just looks like a dark navy blue, kinda muddy. I'm an NC40 and on my tan skin it...

    Comes off a blackish blue with blue sparkles in it. I use it as a crease color or as an eyeliner shadow. I rated it 2 lippies because it's too dark for my pale skin (a little goes along way) thats...

    I don't usually wear blues, but was after a lovely one to go with an outfit- and had this shown to me- LURVE it. Even more gorgeous when primer is used. x
