Love Soba e/s! Finding brown shadows that look good on my Asian, NC35 skin, dark brown eyes, can be a challenge sometimes. Many brown shadows I've tried (even the popular Mulch e/s) make my eye...

I am not a fan of neutrals because... well they are boring. But sometimes neutral is just what you need. I've been wearing red lipstick more and more often, since I am in the mood for it, but most...

This is another of my favorite MAC shadows. Its lighter than texture and has a beautiful shimmer to it. Love it!

Another perfect brown from MAC. This is a medium, camel color with just a touch of shimmer. A lovely neutral that should work on any complexion. What else can I say, it's a solid choice.

Have to say that is probably one of my least fave neautral-ish es. It makes my eyes look bruised (unless that's the look you're after), muddy and dull. Much prefer woodwink for everyday es -...

I tried this as a crease color over Shu ME Beige 800 for a neutral look. I had forotten I owned Soba and it turned out really pretty.

LOVE this shadow. It had to grow on me because the magic works subtly, but I find myself reaching for this more and more. It's a golden-brown "satin texture" shadow, though on my skin tone (Dior...

this is excellent as an everyday natural lid or crease colour for fair to medium skin tone and that is what makes it a must have. other than that it is an ordinary light-brown - goldish colour.

I really didn't care for this color. I'm NC15 and felt that Soba is too dark for me to wear packed on the whole lid during daytime. After playing around with it for few months I've figured out how...

I think I've bought this color two or three times...obviously I love it. It does seem kind of boring at first glance, but for some reason I really like it on me. It's a nice camel brown with a tiny...

This shadow sat in my lid color e/s tray for years because being a ppp, it was too dark for my lids even with blending. Let me add, I don't like a separate crease color. I prefer to blend the lid...

I don't get what all the hype is about to be honest. This is just a boring, muted, neutral brown to me. I feel like I got cheated or something lol. I guess it would be good for someone who's just...

I absolutely love this colour!! It's a warm golden brown, with very little glitter in it, so its perfect for a neutral brown look. I use it with espresso and/or bamboo.

I had heard so much about this color here on MUA but never swatched it in person. So last time I was at the MAC store, I asked to try out Soba. My first impression was that it was a boring,...
