Espresso is great! It may seem to be a boring matte brown, but I love it's versatility, from shadow to liner to brows. I use it mainly as a brow/eyeliner when I don't want to use black - I...

I like using MAC Espresso as brow powder. Concrete was too dark and Bark was too cool. I like Espresso the best because it is a more neutral brown and looks very natural on the brows. Staying...

I use this as a brow filler. Though I have dark brows, it gives me enough definition without looking harsh. I use it with the #266 brush by Mac. I'm oily on my forehead area and the oil does not...

Just an overall great Mac e/s. Nice matte texture. Fills in my dark eyebrows perfectly and also good for lining the eye (although there are other Mac shades that are better for this). Have yet to...

Where would I be without Espresso? This was the very first eyeshadow I had ever purchased from MAC, and it kickstarted a whole obsession with their eyeshadows. It is a matte shadow, which makes...

A nice blah coffee-colored brown. While not unique to MAC, this shade is definitely a staple in my stash - until I get the Armani counterpart. As with all MAC matte eyeshadows, the texture is...

Nice moderately-dark coffee brown shade. It's a satin, which is IMO MAC's best eyeshadow formula. Smooth and reasonably pigmented. I use it frequently for lining. Yes, it's a basic shade you could...

Espresso is a rich, matte chocolate brown that is *perfect* for lining ~ Which is wonderful, since lining is the main reason I bought this shade. I've found that matte browns work betteras liners...
