    I love MAC eyeshadows! But this is my favourite of all of them. It's a lovely cool mauvy grey colour with ever so slight sparkle to it - absolutely perfect colour to compliment my green eyes and...

    This cool tone eye shadow (well, it appears more cool than neutral on me) works surprisingly well for my brown skin tone. I've been told I have a neutral and golden undertone, so I guess I can wear...

    Oh wow! Shale is the most beautiful shade of purply/grey ever! I have brown eyes and this really brings them out! It's not a bright purple that make you look like you're wearing too much makeup,...

    I got this along with Naked lunch after a makeover at Mac. I love it, and along with Naked lunch or Shroom, it give me a quick pretty look for my brown eyes.

    I'm another one of the few for whom this shade just doesn't work. The tone of it, while still purplish, gives my eye area that "I've been up all night crying" look mixed with a bit of bruising. ...

    I never would have tried Shale if it wasn’t for the reviews on MUA. Lovely! This works well for me as a subtle smoky eye with lots of black mascara or used in the outer corner with a wash of Jest...

    Shale is my favorite e/s color, hands down, no questions asked, no exclusions...I’m on my second pan. This is an interesting and unique shimmery tauped/greyish plum. Looks like a rather ugly,...

    I probably wouldn't buy this a second time but for the moment this s a great shadow on me. It looks very nice with other clorols liek satin taupe and Subtle. Plays well over pixil paint. Anyway,...

    The color was so dull and boring in the pot, I almost didn't even bother giving it a chance...until the MAC SA told me it was one of her favorite shades. As soon as I swept the Q-tip tester over...

    Really nice shade of purple that brings out the green in my eyes. My only criticism of this, is that I find it doesn't last too well on my oily lids. It creases quite badly on me after a few hours....

    Considering I have brown eyes, this shade did not look good on me. Kind of dull and didn't suit my skin tone. Nothing exciting.

    Shale = Muted mauve-plum with subtle shimmer (Satin). A great shimmery plum shade. When applied dry, it has subtle hints of grey and does not appear obviously purple at all, despite looking very...

    I love this! I've had two of these so far - a first for me. I never normally finish an eyeshadow, let alone repurchase! A lovely soft, cool purple with a hint of grey. Very flattering on my pale,...

    When I first saw this, I though it was not for me- blonde hair, blue eyes, somtimes with a tan, sometimes not. However, when I swiped some on my hand, the colour was a gorgeous greyish- purple,...

    This shadow looks incredible in the pan, very light and sparkly pretty dirty purple. It even looked good on my hand...but, it just didn't flatter my skin tone when I put it on my eyes. It didn't...

    For some reason, this shadow just looks plain old dirty grey on my lids - no purple hues show up whatsoever. Very disappointed.
