Nice medium golden brown color, velvety texture. Just barely shows up in the crease area of my eyes (I have pale skin, w/ yellow undertones).

Pretty camel type brown. It's flattering to my hazel eyes. A more natural type brown then showy (if such a thing exists!). I wear it often. Usually just as a quick wash over my lids with teddy kohl...

I really like Soba as a crease color. It has no red or gray in it, so it compliments my skin tone very well. It is not too dark or too light. I wear it whenever I want my "natural" shadows to...

Meh. Soba is a nice golden brown, good texture and pigment and everything, but it doesn't inspire me in the least, and I am a brown eyeshadow anonymous type of girl. It's just a tad too light to...

Sorry to ruin the almost perfect ratings on this eyeshadow, but this is one of the very few eyeshadows that I have ever returned! I really hated this color on my MAC 35 eyelids. It did not even...

Soba ranks right up there with Nar's "Blondie" as one of my all time favorite brown eyeshadows. This one is slightly wheat or honey toned brown with the perfect amount of shimmer, neither too...

Probably the best brown eyeshadow I've ever used. I'm Asian with NC25 skin, strong yellow undertones and dark hair and eyes. I used to avoid brown/neutral colors because I thought it just made...

This is a fantastic "wash" color on days you don't want to or need to glam up. The texture is so smooth and even... It layers well with other colors too for dressing up. All-in-all, a terrific...

This is my favorite MAC eye shadow! This color is the perfect nude look on the lid for my NC 45 or Clinique Suede complexion. I use Soba as my everyday lid color and I use Brule as a highlighter. ...

Sometimes I really like the warmth of this color, it's an interesting gold, but I think I'd like it better if it was more shimmery.

This is a great eyeshadow for a wash over your lids. I needed a mid-tone brown for a neutral look. Lasting power is pretty good. I would definitely repurchase.

I bought Ricepaper along with Soba today and I am so pleased. I use Ricepaper as a base and Soba in the crease. It looks so natural and warm and the two shades blend perfectly.
