    I have had this for a long time, and found it very useful. I usually use it on top of a base shadow and/or Twinks on top (all over lid) before using Embark as a liner and crease shade. I think many...

    True, MAC does not have easy to blend eyeshadows in their classic matte formula. But I don't buy this for the formula. I buy it for the undertone and depth. It is the richest dark red brown that...

    This is an essential dark warm/purplish brown. The shade is very versatile. It works with just about any look. But I give this shadow a 4 because of texture issues. MAC mattes can be spotty...
