    MAC describes Malt as a "soft pinkish beige". On my skin I'd describe it in the same way but it is has a touch of a very pale creamy brown. This is one of my all time favourite base and crease...

    I had this for a few years before figuring out I should use it without a paint pot. (I also used to try to use it as a transition shade for which I didn't particularly like it). I now use it over...

    super smooth and creamy matte shade. I am nc20 fair with yellow undertone. This is the perfect crease color for anyone thats nw10 to nw20. i wouldnt repurchase because i found Kid to work better!

    I bought Malt thinking it would be a nice earthy rose toned crease color but in reality works better as a transition color. On my light warm skin looks more pink salmon to be honest. Not crazy...

    Holy grail cool toned pale girl transition colour. A lovely pinkish brown. Soft Brown, everyone's favourite, pulls way too orange on my skin but Malt is just right. My go-to eye look is Blanc Type...

    This is a great neutral colour. Can be worn with start violet in the crease or passionate and embark in the crease. This is just an example of the many combinations. Plus the mac pallete eyeshadows...

    I just love this eyeshadow, great for transitions or just to use it all over the eyelid as base or just use it alone. I love to use it alone, with my stay don't stray primer. It lasts from 8am to...

    As a few others have mentioned, this is incredibly close to Stila's Eden. I use Eden because it's just a hair darker, although, I find this changes a bit on my skin, and becomes almost identical...

    Really love this shade. It's definitely not a shade that really stands out but is a staple which you will use a lot. It's a more peachy rose version of Kid. I purchased them both together however...

    I love this eyeshadow! I use it as a transition color and I can't live without it. The shade is a pinkish brown color that looks so good on fair skin as a transition color or all over the eyelids....

    love this color. it's the perfect " transition" color for almost any look. The slight pink hue brings out my hazel eyes. it's matte, no glitter or sparkle. One of a kind!

    This is my favourite Mac shadow. Perfect for light skin but also can be used as a nice transition shade for darker tones. Glides on beautifully.

    The color is pretty much like the name, It's a little lighter than how it looks in the pan, kind of like an actual malt milkshake or that kind of chocolate milkshake that you can tell had barely...

    A great, light, taupe-y brown color that looks lovely on my lighter skin. It definitely has some pink undertones, but they are so sheer you can barley tell. It kind of reminds me of Velvet...
