This is a beautiful finely milled, easily blended and built up, soft heather colour. The effect it gives is a subtle glow and soft colour, that can be made to look smokey. I love it with mac print...

I'm on my third pot of this eye-shadow so I guess I do like it a LOT! It's a very strange colour - kind of taupe, purple and brown at the same time. It's muted enough for office/day look yet...

It´s a foolproof cool toned subtle plum colour that looks quite nice with my brown eyes. Unfortunately, i don´t find it really pigmented, so I have to pack it on quite a bit. I like to pair it with...

Shale is the perfect cool toned neutral I always wanted! It's a cool taupe/purple/brown color that is very versatile and it's my go-to color for many different looks. I do not like purples, this is...

This color has become a suprise favorite for me. It's wonderful to just throw all over the lid on casual, natural days. Shale isn't a super pigmented color, nor is it very metallic as its described...

The texture is nice enough but this looks nothing like the color in the pot once I have applied it. NC20 brunette and this goes straight to almondy brown on my lids. Just like 100 other e/s I...

This is the best all over eyeshadow I've ever had. It's a very purple taupe that complements my green eyes nicely, and it's easy to blend. (I think Annabelle may have a similar colour.)

I decided to keep this (which says something for me!), but it's not my favorite. Swatched on my hand, it's a LOVELY warm grey purple. However, it does not show up as well on my lids. While I'm very...

First off I love MAC eye shadow but this was a total miss for me. The color looks like a taupe/lavender/mauve in the pan but ends up looking grey on my skin no matter what I do. It ends up...
