    Shale was one of my first MAC es's years ago and I could never quite get into it. It's a dusty, smokey plum color w/ shimmer. The color payoff and lasting capability were ok, but not earth...

    Muted mauve-plum w/ subtle shimmer, a satin formula e/s. Love this e/s as I love purples, I like they do wonders for hazel and brown eyes. I find it a lot of the purples from mac to be on the...

    Shale is a beautiful medium toned purple/mauve/taupe shade with some shimmer. It is very muted (not bright at all!) and works for me as either a crease color or a lid shade. Looks gorgeous with...

    beauuuutiful! I purchased this on an impulse buy when I saw it in the store. It goes on beautiful and works really well with brown eyes. I use 'Nocturnelle' on the outer V's with shale and it looks...

    This is actually a very wear-able purple! I can see how someone with warm-toned skin might look bruised wearing this, but on my cooler-toned fair skin it looks like a purple/gray color that could...

    I wanted a smokey purple eye, but this just made me looked washed out and bruised, and didn't look good mixed with browns or pinks. This shadow taught me to go towards the warmer, brownish purples.

    So I had this shade on my wish list for some time, and finally managed to swap for it. It sat, untouched, unnoticed, in my 15-pan, before I impulsively tried it out one day and fell in love. Grey,...

    My favorite purple eyeshadow! It is a lovely greyish purple. Some people do not like the greyishness of it but I like that it tones the purple down so it isn't crazy-colorful or clownish. It is...

    Shale is right up there with Satin Taupe for me. It's a great daytime/office color and is a must for everyone looking to create a neutral and natural collection.

    This color gives a nice kick to neutral. I have cool toned, light Asian skin, and this color showed as a taupe with some mauve and a little bit of sheen. It looks similar to LORAC Innocence in...

    This is the perfect color for people with green (or, like me, greenish) eyes - but I just don't reach for often. It brings out the green and is a nice neutral color (it's not wild and...
