    I'm really glad I read the reviews here. I was sure I got a bad shadow – I had NO payoff what so ever. But I tried scraping off the top layer as recommended by a few of you (I used sand paper) and...

    This is a pale silvery lilac colour. This colour is nothing special and I'd say fairly dupable. It's also the most powdery of all my MAC shadows and not heavily pigmented.

    EDIT: I was originally disappointed with this shade because I was getting zero color payoff no matter what method of application I used (Original rating = 1). But I ended up buffing off the top...

    This es goes on very sheer, and on my NC30 skin, it takes a lot to show up. I really do like the color, and it works great for blending as well. It is good for blendling between purples, blues,...

    I love it, it's impossible to put too much on because it's the perfect amount of depth! :) Great purple-ish color for hazel eyes!

    I love the color. It is a little hard to get on and a little hard to get to stay on, but it is a beautiful color on me. I'm a warm tone person and have blue eyes and usually stay far away from...

    I think this is a good eyeshadow just for winter. I bought this yesterday and it seems pretty unsuitable for summer. It seems too grey for my fair skin and green/hazel eyes and I think i look a bit...

    love this colour! satiny finish, smooth and easy to blend. surprisingly wearable during the day with some copperplate in crease. creates a sexy, smokey un-done eye. love this with rebel lipstick....

    Shale is my go-to-eyeshadow. You can wear it during the day, in the evening, it goes perfectly with any type of make-up you want to wear.

    Shale is my all-time favorite MAC Eyeshadow. I'm NW10, and Shale is beautiful for my skin tone. It's what I hoped Satin Taupe would be (after hearing all the raves for Satin Taupe for years). ...

    I love Shale. I'm NC15/NW20 with yellow undertones and green eyes, and it really makes my green eyes pop. Not as much as Nocturnelle, but sometimes, I don't like to wear really bright purples, so...

    I love this shadow! I actually used to hate it, because I thought it was so unpigmented. It is when swatched, but applied to the eye, it looks like a subtle beautiful purple color. I am always...

    I love makeup but don't enjoy looking heavily made-up. For me this is a perfect product. Although it's purple, it's a very natural looking purple that looks nice with brown or taupe. I like using...
