Agreed - this is a great blue. I use it with Carbon as a liner - it creates a subtle blue/black that is very work friendly (unlike the typical notion of trampy blue eye shadow). I cant imagine...

I have goldish orangeish brown hair(if that makes any sense) and very dark brown eyes, and I always thought a blue eyeshadow would make me look horrendeous and difficult to look at. But I was very...

I gave this product a 5, but won't buy it again. Why? I don't want a medium blue. That said, Freshwater is perfect for what it is. Soft in the pan (some of the VPs are a bit hard), very pigmented,...

This is such a unique, beautiful shade. The best blue I've ever seena actually. It's even nice for lining, really makes my brown eyes pop. The name of the shade is very apt, the eyes look so...

Oh gosh, such a pretty blue in the pan but I really don't like this eyeshadow. I'm the lone dissenter when it comes to Veluxe Pearl formulas - I think they're pigmented chalk, hard to blend, and...

A versatile true electric blue with tonnes of shimmer. Slightly translucent compared to something like electric eel, which I think is a good thing, as it can be layered up to give different...

I'm giving this a five even though I can't wear it. Why, you ask? Because it's the most beautiful color I have ever seen on my eyelids in addition to fact that the veluxe pearl formula has the...

NC45. This color looks amazing in the pan. On my medium brown AA skin, it looks very 80s. The only way I could make it work thus far is wearing Steamy on the lid, and using it as an eyeliner. ...

At this point I own over 60 MAC eyeshadows (yep, it's a sickness), and many of them are very similar. However, the most unique, original and stunning of the bunch is Freshwater. It is a deeply...

Freshwater is a very pretty, rich blue. It was actually my first blue eyeshadow purchase, and was a little nervous at first. I love it with aquas and bronzes the most:)

To me, Freshwater looks like a bright royal blue. It's a veluxe pearl, so the finish gives a sheen to it--not shimmery, more of a sheen. Texture and blendability, like all the veluxe pearls, are...

This looks very deep blue in the pan, but applies as a paler sky- or sea-blue. I had hoped that the color would apply truer to what I see in the pan, but I have learned to like the result.
