    my favorite MAC shadow! dark navy with some subtle shimmer--I use Hush under this and it brings out the purple shimmer in Contrast. Wonderful for smoky eye looks!

    Pretty! This is in my Chromezone #2 quad and it's great for lining or adding some intensity to a boring eye. I like the smudge it on the outer corners of my lid to the outer corners of my eye. ...

    Contrast is really pretty. It's really dark so I mostly use it as a liner. Love this with Bitter and De Menthe. The only thing with it is that sometimes it'll end up looking black.. but its still...

    Contrast is a deep purplish blue . It looks amazing paired with pinks, purples, and other blues. It works perfectly as a smokey eyes and makes my hazel eyes stand out.

    On my quest for the perfect blue e/s, I came across Contrast, a deep, purple tinged blue with shimmer. I was actually looking for a medium blue e/s, but I couldn't help but fall in love with...

    Big rave for this deep blue e/s. Great to line with, stays on forever if used wet with Visine. It lasted me an entire David Usher concert where it was 30 C on the dance floor. Has a bit of...

    This is beautiful in the outer corners; a rich navy blue with shimmer. I love it paired with pinks, or with lighter blues.

    I got this as an alternative to using my MAC Print e/s as a liner. I was hoping that the blue in it would make my eyes pop, but they're such a wacky mix of light blue and almost turquoise that it...

    One of my favorite e/s to line with. Works well with almost any shade of blue or purple e/s. For a very pretty blue/green eye look, I use this wet to line with Cargo Aegean on the lids and UD Acid...

    I have to honestly say that this is my fav eyeliner...when used wet. It doesn't look good when applied dry because it doesn't go on sheerly. One of the Mac MAs applied this on me for a makeover...

    I use this as an eyeliner. It is the perfect shade of navy blue, but navy makes it sound so ugly. So it's the color of the sky right before dark when the sky retains a faint hint of blue. Then thow...

    This is such a beautiful, unique colour. A dark, shimmery navy blue that looks almost purplish when wet! I use this e/s as a liner during the day, but it would also look stunning in the crease...

    Blue e/s with purple undertones. I love to wear this for a smoky-eye look or as a liner on simpler days. A lot of people compliment me when i'm wearing this. I have dark hair and brown eyes - NC35.

    My first blue shadow!! I usually stick with greys, lavenders, ect. Nice for a change, a rich, deep blue. Looks more shimmery in the pot than when applied. I like to use it more as a liner.
