They can be quite hit or miss, and they have inconsistencies between releases (see Carbon and its sordid review history!).īrowse all of our MAC Eyeshadow swatches. While some eyeshadow shades don't swatch well, they often apply better in practice-as in on the eyes!-than just swatched on the skin. One thing I've found with MAC eyeshadows is that they tend to last longer without primer than the average brand (eight hours).
I've found that Veluxe Pearl finish shades tend to have more semi-opaque pigmentation and are more consistent in performance than some of the other finishes. The Veluxe Pearl finish is one of the creamier takes within the range, and newer shades released in the finish tend to have more moderate, silicone-like slip. They can sometimes be a little drier to the touch depending on how much shimmer is in the shade. The Frost finish is more firmly-pressed into the pan but doesn't have fallout, is often pigmented, and blends out well enough. It can be easy to mix the finish up with the Velvet finish, which has more of a sparkle-over-matte effect but are more powdery than the true Matte finish. They tend to have very low sheen but are quite blendable with medium to opaque coverage. The Satin finish is few and far in-between, but it is softer and more yielding than the Matte finish but performs similarly. They are the old school version of an eyeshadow "topper." I would recommend applying with a fingertip or applying with a dampened brush to get smoother, more even coverage and minimize fallout. Lustre finish shades can suffer from fallout during application, too. The Lustre finish is designed to have sheerer pigmentation, and it often has more sheer to medium coverage with a drier, dustier consistency that can be hard to apply with a dry brush. Some of the newer matte finish shades have had a more velvety quality to them that gives them a softer feel but aren't powdery these have been easier to blend and are often more pigmented in one layer. The Matte finish tends to have a firmer press and a bit of thinness compared to other matte formulas on the market, so MAC matte eyeshadows tend to build up better and have better wear-time without fallout as they're not powdery at all. In general, the permanent line has been more consistent in performance-and higher performance at that-compared to limited edition launches, but it can really depend. I am so happy that I got my hands on this palette, I think it was the selection of shades that was missing from my collection.The formula is supposed to be a "highly pigmented powder" that goes on "evenly and blends well." MAC eyeshadows run the gamut from total failures to long-time, cult-favorite staples. Mac eyeshadows are just the best too, they are my fail safe brand that I can always rely on for great pigmentation, ability to blend easily and longevity. I have only had this palette for a couple of days now, but am already in love with this collection of shades, it really is a winner for any an occasion. There are a mixture of light and dark shadows as well as shimmery, matte and satin shadows all of which compliment each other, so it is really easy to create a number of different looks with this palette. Burgundy toned shadows are also great for green eyed girls like myself as they really make them stand out. I chose this palette as half of the shades included are ones that have been on my wish list for ages, so this was the perfect palette to be able to try them all out at last. The Burgundy Times Nine Palette contains the shades Honey Lust, Poppyseed, Quarry, Antiqued, Embark, Noir, Haux, Star Violet and Sketch.
It is the perfect size for travel too, am I the only one that hates lugging around huge palettes?
#Mac eyeshadow x9 burgundy full
I should have realized from the price as costing only $40, I would have been getting the bargain of the century if they were full sized! Nevertheless, you are still making a saving as the palette is valued at $53 for nine shadows which, to me, is great value to be able to try out a variety of shades in a particular color way. The one that I bought is Burgundy Times Nine, a palette of burgundy hues, but it is also available in Amber, Purple and Navy.īeing impulsive and not reading the information correctly, I assumed that it contained nine full sized pans, but they are actually miniature pans so these nine shadows fit in the same sized palette as four regular pans. The Mac Eyeshadow x 9 comprises of four palettes in different color ways from the Eyes on Mac Collection. I was so excited to see these eyeshadow palettes that have been newly released from Mac.
