    I am happy to have bought this last week in pan form, after wanting it for 8 or so years! I thought anything else I owned would work for this type of colour - for instance, there is a colour in the...

    Vanilla (the e/s, not the pigment) has been around for a long time and a lot of people swear by it. There are better ivory shadows from MAC and other companies but it's a nice enough shadow. I...

    This shade should do great things for my eyeshadow palette giving my coloring (NW20 or a bit lighter), even better than my HG Blanc Type, which makes a great base shadow, highlight or all-round...

    I ordered this online and when I got it I was a bit worried about the amount of shimmer that appeared in the pan, however as other reviewers have mentioned once applied it isn't noticeable. I have...

    This is horrendous. I wanted to repurchase Blanc Type which is my hg, but as usual, it was sold out (luckily I found it out of town the next day) and so she gave my husband Vanilla saying it was...

    So I'm white. Like I almost glow blue. Finding a good highlight is hard. Blanc type was too dark and yellow on me. Yes, I'm that pale. In the pan I always thought vanilla looked darker than...

    For at least half of the year, I always use NYX Nude Matte in Lap Dance (slightly yellow toned nude) as my wash/highlight shade. But in deep fall and winter, I tend to take my makeup to a more...

    Too stark white for my liking. I went in the Mac store for Blanc Type but they didn't have in stock. The lady told me try Vanilla but I regret purchasing this since I never use this shadow....

    My Vanilla was creamy, smooth, and pigmented. I purchased both this and Blanc Type, and when I saw how similar they looked on the eye, I preferred Blanc Type. In comparison, Blanc Type is more...

    Colour pay off of this eyeshadow isn't great but as I use it as a browbone highlight most times - it doesn't bother me too much. I prefer Brule but Vanilla is a great colour for darker skin...

    This has been my HG brow highlight for years and years. It is slightly lighter than my pale skin tone and blends out even the boldest of looks seamlessly. It's a velvet finish, but this reads...

    When I first got this I wasn't overly impressed, I didn't find it pigmented enough for my liking. But, after some wear and regular use it seems it has gotten a lot better! Now, i find this...

    I love MAC Vanilla. It is super basic, not shimmery, and is great for a basic brow highlight and also for an all over base. It is smooth and blends well with other shadows. It doesn't scream...

    This is a really good highlight color. Mine has good color payoff! I love how it's mostly matte with a couple pieces of sheen, it's gorgeous! Definitely a good purchase!

    There's not much to be said about this blandly made eyeshadow from MAC. It is both lackluster in finish and performance. At NC15-20, I assumed this would be a good highlight, but the product...
