This is my favorite MAC e/s. I use it to smoke out my outer v or as an eyeliner. It's extremely pigmented so be sure to use a light hand and build up from there. It's not chalky at all and very...

A lovely deep chocolate brown with no shimmer. This is very neutral and has a wonderful soft matte texture. Not at all chalky, and very versatile.

Handwritten is great, with a light hand it is a beautiful every-day-wear shade! And you can also create a really sexy night-time smokey eye with it. It's slightly softer to use to create a smokey...

Very matte, very smooth, very blendable and pigmented is what you get with Handwritten e/s. I don't own many MAC e/s, maybe less than 12. I do find that this color is great on the crease, I like...

Beautiful matte brown shadow with great pigmentation. I use it all the time and it looks great with my blue eyes in my crease, outer V or as a liner shadow.

My HG color for a dark smoky eye! It is a red toned dark brown, the formula is like silk and blends like a dream. Love it with 'Tete-a-Tint' in the crease. Gorgeous!

I love this shadow. It's my favorite crease color & off course, being a matte2, it has an amazing texture to it. Super blendable dark brown. Beautiful shade. I'll be buying this one over & over.

This has honestly become one of my staples in my collection. Don't be fooled by how light it looks online, it is very dark in person. When I finally received it, it was definitely not what I was...

Handwritten is the perfect neutral dark brown. I've found that it's quite hard to find a good brown w/o any overly warm tones, but this is it. Works great as a liner, crease, or lid shade for a...
