Awesome eyeshadow! This warm medium dark brown with reddish plum undertones is very flattering for my green eyes. I love that it's matte, very pigmented, and blends easily. I find it's a versatile...

This is my go-to dark brown shadow, I love it as a crease shade, and use it occasionally as my all-over color for the days when I feel like spicing it up more with a dramatic eye. I used to do the...

I use this eye shadow primarily for defining my eyebrows. I've found using an eyebrow brush is better than an eyebrow pencil because its less harsh on your eyebrow hairs, so they dont fall off as...

Love the eyeshadow. Makes my eyes pop! If it could be improved, application should be smoother. It can go on patchy, so when I apply it I go over it a few times for an even shade. My go to matte...

This is a great crease color for those with medium to slightly dark skin. It is highly pigmented though, so don't use too much or it'll be very dark. The only con I would say is that it takes a bit...

I think I was really unlucky with this one. I bought it late in 2010, loved the color, just what I'd been looking for. Thought I'd use for a brown smokey look. Then when I put it on (without...

One of my first mac purchases ten years ago. This is my brown shadow staple. You can blend it to make a crease shade and then apply more to smoke out your look. Everyone needs this color!

Eh, found this in my makeup stash. It's an interesting clor, but it's not for me. "Embark" is a reddish-brown that leans more brown. It's too dark for my brows, but not pigmented enough to be an...
