    This is the best eye shadow for a wash of color. On my skintone (NC40) it looks like golden sand. Era is beautiful on the lid by itself. I usually just pair this with Shroom to highlight the...

    I got this for the purposes of base color or a single neutral eyeshadow for everyday use. I'm usually medium tanned and it's a great match for my skin. It gives me just the right amount of sheeny...

    The first time I saw Era I passed it over without a second thought, so it was surprising to me that I ended up buying it the other day. It looks way lighter in the pan than it does on. I almost...

    This is a light tan color with very subtle gold shimmer. It looks gorgeous all over the lid as a wash and since it's so neutral, I can pair almost anything in the crease with this. It looks dull in...

    I love this eyeshadow! I wear it most days as just an all-over lid colour. I would never have bought it without a MAC consultant recommeding it though... and at first i regretted buying it as its...

    This is a color that I feel deserves to be raved about far more than it is. It is such a gorgeous neutral. AliceF said "satiny milk tea", and that is such a yummy way to describe this color. I'm...

    This is a little light to use a a crease color, but it works really great to blend out other colors. It's very neutral with not too much shimmer. Very nice & like most MAC shadows, very blendable.

    NC25 here and Era is the best shade ever for me. I'm sorry I can't remember the MUA'er who raved about it or else I would thank her with an Era ROAK. It is truly one of the best colors that MAC...

    i use era as both an all over lid color and as a crease color. it's a pretty cool toned soft brown, maybe even a dark taupe. it's really hard to find cool toned browns that don't look red on my...

    I absolutely love using Era in neutral looks, and its even really nice as just an all over color. Swiping it on with just some mascara looks amazing and gives quite a polished look. But I do...

    I feel like this is one of MAC's hidden gem eyeshadows. It doesn't seem to be as popular as some other colors, but it's probably my favorite MAC eyeshadow. I'm not sure how to describe the color...

    I'm NC25/30... and this e/s is almost the same color as my eyelid. I have to pack on a ton onto my brush to get any visible color. The finish is nice and goes on smoothly, but I think I'll put this...

    This color is my go to color when I'm in a rush. It's a nice beigy/brown that has a satin finish. Easy to put on with a bit of liner and mascara and you are done!

    This isn't a shadow I would have ever picked out on my own to buy, because it looks rather drab in the pan. But I received it as an extra in a swap, and I've gotta tell ya, I like it quite a bit....
