    I was pleasantly surprised by Shale. Not completely blown away obviously, because I would have given it 5 lipsticks instead of 4, but I would definitely repurchase this shade if I were to run...

    This is one of those shadows that is just kinda there. Nothing too flashy or too dull. I read that Tara Reid uses Malt with shale in the crease, therefore I had to have this shadow. A very safe...

    Medium violet with gray tone. Pretty, but I never reach for it. It just doesn't pair too well with what I own.

    I picked this up a few weeks ago after a couple of enablers made me see the MAC light! This color makes my green eyes pop! A definite re-purchase!

    I took blondeambitioned's advice today and paired this color with Trax (and also with Phloof!) for my first attempt at making a smokey eye look. I am such a novice at this and have been inspired...

    Doesn't work with my blue eyes and cool-toned pale skin -- ends up looking a bit bruised. Can see this working better on someone with green eyes. This was a (failed) attempt to find a...

    Very versatile color. Like most MAC shades, it is too boring by itself, but it looks great layered with other colors, like a plum color or with Trax. I also like using this on the lid with Sketch...

    MAC NW15 to 20, hazel/green eyes, medium brown hair with a little gray (LOL): I'm not quite sure what to think about this shadow. It's a little more subdued on my lids than I prefer, but it *is* a...

    this is a lovely grayish mauve shadow. i see just enough of the gray to make it unique from my other MAC mauve/purples. will repurchase.

    This is the perfect crease color for my dark brown eyes and I pair it with Prunella eye kohl. Just a beautiful and sexy smoked eye without looking purple!!

    Shale is a gorgeous greyed plum colour which looks lovely on my blue eyes. It has a subtle shimmer to it. The texture is Satin, which goes on smoothly, and the staying power is great. I will...

    Shale is a gorgeous color (see other reviews for description) but it just didn't work with my eyes and skintone. I asked the MUA whether Shale or Trax was better for my AAB skin/NC30, and she said...

    I'll be honest: silver and silver based shadows don't look great on me. This however is an exception. The shimmering violet tones add some color to what might otherwise be a bland silver grey. I...

    After a HUGE disappointment with Nars' Barbuda shadow, I read a review that claimed Shale was a similar, if not better, shade. So off to the MAC counter I went, and picked this up, crossing my...

    This is a great medium-toned plumish color. It's more of a cooler color and works great as either a lid or crease/liner color. I got it as part of a palette, so I'll use it up, but I don't really...

    This color looks stunning on my cool toned friend on me however it looks kinda blah (I'm warm toned). It's a grayish purple.

    I'm sure this looks really nice on cool-toned people but I'm warm toned and it makes me look tired. I bought it before I knew I was warm-toned.
