This is an excellent colour for me. It works both as a frosted brown colour, as well as a taupy purple. I love wearing it with Amber lights eyeshadow or even expensive pink eyeshadow both from...

This color looks fantastic with Lise Wattier Cameleon (yeah it really is spelled that way) lipgloss, which is really similar: that is, an unusual iridescent warm color. The eyeshadow is darker and...

This is a great color. It's a earth toned pinky plum brown (mac online description) which would look great on almost any skin tone. MAC veluxe pearls are great. They're silky and shimmery by not...

Star Violet is one of the first really original eyeshadow colors that MAC has come up with so far. Most of their colors are derivative of ones that came before -- either in shade or formulation --...

I love this color, but it's hard to match it with different colors. I almost wish I had gotten Expensive Pink instead or the Peacock Blue color. It's still very nice and great for girls who are...

Nice shimmery plummy brown. I was looking for a color like this for such a long time and SV is the right color but I'm not crazy about the finish. It's finer than frost but still v. noticeable....

Creased. Creased. Creased!! I thought the whole point of the veluxe formula was so that it does not crease. I put on my usual mac paint base and by noon I had that nice wall of China happening...

I love the texture of the new Veluxe shadows. Released oCt 2004 as a permanent part of the line, these are super shimmery shadows that glide on effortlessly. Last all day without creasing and...

This is so pretty! I would describe this as a rusty nude. It goes so well with pretty much anything since the shade is rather neutral but I love using this with Plum dressing since it kind of...

OMG! This is my favorite color of the Veluxe Pearls! It is a beautiful golden-raspberry color with a beautiful sheen that can be buffed to be even more lustrous. I can't believe how beautiful this...

The veluxe pearl formula is terrific. They are very well pigmented and not shimmery. This is a very fine sheen, no glitter! Star violet is a medium depth shade. Some of us thought that it would...
