    This is a beautiful finely milled, easily blended and built up, soft heather colour. The effect it gives is a subtle glow and soft colour, that can be made to look smokey. I love it with mac print...

    I'm on my third pot of this eye-shadow so I guess I do like it a LOT! It's a very strange colour - kind of taupe, purple and brown at the same time. It's muted enough for office/day look yet...

    It´s a foolproof cool toned subtle plum colour that looks quite nice with my brown eyes. Unfortunately, i don´t find it really pigmented, so I have to pack it on quite a bit. I like to pair it with...

    Shale is the perfect cool toned neutral I always wanted! It's a cool taupe/purple/brown color that is very versatile and it's my go-to color for many different looks. I do not like purples, this is...

    This color has become a suprise favorite for me. It's wonderful to just throw all over the lid on casual, natural days. Shale isn't a super pigmented color, nor is it very metallic as its described...

    I'm really trying to expand my shadow collection and trying to find cool toned complimentary shades. I'm so sick of the many warm tones I have. I just want to find new things. Cool purple taupe...

    The texture is nice enough but this looks nothing like the color in the pot once I have applied it. NC20 brunette and this goes straight to almondy brown on my lids. Just like 100 other e/s I...

    This is the best all over eyeshadow I've ever had. It's a very purple taupe that complements my green eyes nicely, and it's easy to blend. (I think Annabelle may have a similar colour.)

    I decided to keep this (which says something for me!), but it's not my favorite. Swatched on my hand, it's a LOVELY warm grey purple. However, it does not show up as well on my lids. While I'm very...

    First off I love MAC eye shadow but this was a total miss for me. The color looks like a taupe/lavender/mauve in the pan but ends up looking grey on my skin no matter what I do. It ends up...
