Motif is a yellowy-beige shade with an iridescent pink sheen to it. reading the description online, and seeing the compact on the shelf by the MAC counter, it seemed just like what I was looking...

I'm on the fence about Motif. I gave it a four because even if I'm not entirely in love with the color, I have been using it quite often. It's a yellow-peachy-tan color that in certain lights...

What a beautiful, unique color! The swatch on MAC's website doesn't do it justice, though I think the description (soft, golden yellow duochrome with pink opalescent shimmer) is very accurate. ...

Like many other reviewers have said, the shade looks lovely in the pan as a pale yellow with pink iridescent pearl. However, when applied to my eyelid, it disappeared. It was hardly discernible...

This shadow is a subtle, light yellow with pink iridescence. In the pan it reminds me of Easter...hehe...what "Easter" yellow SHOULD look like, so pretty. This color is one of my staple...

This color is super subtle. I have yellow toned skin so it hardly shows up b/c the shade just blends in with my skin color. The only time you can tell the color is in light, then you can see the...

One of my all-time, favorite MAC eyeshadows. It is a must-have for dark brown eyes! Makes them look more golden, sparkly, and chocolatey. The texture isn't the best but I love the unique...

In my opinion, this is little more than a yellow duo-chrome shadow. Having said that, if I use a heavy hand, it does create a beautiful base to many shadows. It just seems to require a lot of...

I actually got this eyeshadow in my Y&Kei lookbook. It appears to be a slightly orange-peach shade with pink duochrome. It goes on smoothly, and when swatched the duochrome is very obvious....

When I was at a MAC counter a while ago, I saw the prettiest makeup on a SA there and had to ask her what she was using. It turns out she used Motif as the all over lid color with Sushi Flower for...

Motif is a sheer peach/pink/gold color. It's looks good as a highlighter or sheer blush, but it's a bit too sheer for my eyes, even if I use it on top of a base. I use this if I'm going to wear...

this is a very sunny yellow with pink in it. It does come on kind of on the sheer side compared to other MAC e/s. Depending on what color i want to bring out more, i will either use corn...

Motif looks peach with pink duochrome in the pot, but it applies more golden on my lids. Maybe it was the base I used underneath that brought out the golden undertone in this beautiful...

RIS and I'm on the fence with this color. For a duochrome, it only shows up as one color on me - Frosty pink/purple. While this is alright with me, I was kind of hoping it would come out a little...

Excellent. Pretty similar to Urban Decay's "X", it works well as a highlighter or as a base to add colors to. The girl in the MAC store put this on my eyes to accompany Orange, and looked...
