MAC Eyeshadow in Electra

Prob one of the best pigmented in the frosted line! Beautiful silver shadow with an intense silver white frost. Works well with all complimentary colours- black blues, plums/burgundy even fushias and greens! A defin staple in my collection. Best used in smokey eye applications! Blends beautifully don't need too much to apply, a little goes a long way.

I love this eye shadow. I'm a hardcore fun of the smokey eyed look, and this fits the bill perfectly. The pigmentation of Electra is good, and the color is very true to the way it looks once it applies. Plus, it lasts long. I hate it when eye shadows come off easy or crease, but you won't have that problem with this one. I must admit that I prefer Urban Decay's Strip just a bit more than this one since it has even more pigmentation and stands out a bit more, but this one is still excellent. Very versatile for both the office and for a night look when you pair it up with some liquid black liner. I've purchased it more than once and will continue to do so.

Gorgeous frosted silver. It applies like a smooth dream and lasts for the day. It looks beautiful on golden toned skin.

A gorgeous, bright metallic silver. The pigmentation is intense and brilliant and Electra is a big staple when I do my night-time smokey eye routine! It's much brighter than Silver Ring and applies like a dream. Here's my way of doing a smokey eye using Electra;

#1 Apply Nylon to the inner corner of the eye
#2 Apply Electra to the rest of the lid
#3 Apply Knight Divine to the outer v and lightly in the crease
#4 Take Silver Ring and apply in the crease
#5 Apply Ricepaper or UD Bootycall or UD Virgin as your brow-bone highlight
#6 Apply Black Tied to the outer corner and blend blend blend
#7 Apply Liquid Last liner to the upper lashline
#8 Apply Blacktrack Fluidline or eyeliner to the waterline
#9 Apply mascara, falsh eyelashes etc


You get the most gorgeous, multi-gradient silver and black smokey eye!

I bought this before I knew about cool, neutral, warm skin tones. I saw it on a beauty blogger who is tan and warm-toned and I was like sweet I'm going to look hot like her. HAHA yeah right this definitely clashes with my fair, cool toned skin. It just does not work at all. It also pulls blue on me it reminds me of going to an '80s frat party or something. Anyways I gave it a 3 because the texture is SO amazing and the color is too, just not on me!

Colour: light grey frost. Very velvety smooth texture, and beyond blendable. I'm giving it one less lippy because it looked blue on my lids, and not the grey I wanted. I read other reviews where the same thing happened to other chicks, so it seems to be common. Anyway, I returned it to Mac and exchanged for something else.

I have had this eyeshadow for years, and I have never really used it very much... until now. I bought the dangerous cuvee paint pot, and I decided to put on this eye shadow on top of it, and it made the eyeshadow look soo nice!! I never realized but silver is kind of a glamorous look to pull off for every day, but when you want to put a pop of silver on your lids, this color is perfect!! Especially with Dangerous Cuvee PP under it!

Lovely silver eyeshadow. It works well all over the lid, with one of my other favourite MAC eyeshadows 'Sketch' in the crease.

This brings out the green in my hazel eyes. I love to wear it alone during the day, applied lightly just makes my eyes shine and look alive and bright. At night it can be applied with dark shadows for a smokey look (black, dark grey or navy look especially great). Love how versatile it is and the lovely smooth soft texture.

Hands down my favourite grey/silver eyeshadow! I've been using Electra for over 9 years now, so it's a standing long-time favourite. This Mac frost shade has a beautiful shimmer and is versatile for both day and night wear. It's stunning in a smokey eye, or pretty enough to stand on its own. It goes well with lots of other shades - purples, greens, blues, pinks and so on. In terms of its longevity, it holds up well throughout the day, particularly over a primer, and resists creasing (and this coming from a girl with oily lids!). The product, itself, is impressively pigmented, buttery and easy to blend. A very little goes a long way. I am definitely going to continue keeping this is my kit, and am happy to recommend it. I feel like it's a bit under-valued - I've never seen it in any Top 10 Mac shadow lists, but it would definitely make mine!
