Great neutral to have on hand. On my brown eyes, pale ivory skin, it is a nice smoky brownish purple. APplication is great, it goes where I want it and stays. Nice for work because it isnt a bold...

After coming to grips that MAC discontinued my favorite shade of eyeshadow called Velour, I was on the hunt to find a greyish/brownish purple and this was as close as I came. I think on my green...

Applies patchy and has a chalky appearance. Not worth purchasing.

Shale is not a very common color, a mixture of lavender purple, gray and a tad silver. I like it on it's own as a lid color, safe but not boring. You can add some purple or gray eye liner to play...

I first saw this colour on a Pixiwoo tutorial and knew I had to have it. After reading the other reviews about it having terrible pigmentation and a chalky consistency, I almost changed my mind....

I picked this up at my local counter today after a MUA on MAC's live chat recommended this to me. At first I was skeptical about getting it because every time I swatch it in the store there is...

Shale. Its a pro type of shade. Its not glamerous, in your face eyeshadow but it does enhance hazel eyes and sophistocated color choice. I will say mine is fine to apply but sometimes you can get...

One of my favorite eyeshadows. I'm surprised by the negative reviews here. I have had 0 issues with the texture of Shale. Mine is pigmented and applies smoothly to the eyelid as a taupe with plum...

I really wanted to love Shale. The colour is great, a very wearable cool-toned lilac purple, but it is one of the most difficult shadows to work with from MAC that I own. It does not blend....

Shale is (unfortunately) one of theose eyeshadow shades that looks super pretty in the pot but doesn't look so good on the eyes. The colour is super pretty; a soft, medium plum with taupe...

I had such high hopes for this eye shadow, it looked like the perfect everyday purple I could use to enhance my green eyes. I first applied this over UDPP and then later over bare study paint pot...

I wish I could like this color but it just won't show up on me! for ref I'm NC42 and even with a light base under it's still very sheer. I have to really pack this on and the payoff is still so...

Shale is a wonderfully nice color but unfortunately it is not so highly pigmented. You have to take quite a lot for it to appear. The color is light purple and is ideal for those with green eyes. I...

Colour: greyish dark lavender. It smokes up the eye without it looking over-the-top (if used as an all over wash). I find it excentuates my eyeliner and makes my eyes look mysterious and sexy...

I don't use this color very often but it is probably one of my favorite purples. It has grayish undertones on me, and looks subtle on me. It blends very well, and is buildable.

Shale is such a pretty taupe. I do have to work a little harder to get the color payoff that I want but this is a really pretty shade.

Like others have said, this is a complex dusky mauve-y eyeshadow. I've always been attracted to mauve pearls and similar colors and always try to find them in makeup. I don't know why it took so...

This is my most beloved e/s. I love it so much. It complements my skin tone (NW20). If you have cool undertones, you should really give it a try. You have to use a dark base to make it show...
