Secondly, Mac describes it as a “soft muted rosy brown”. Described firstly as a “satin” finish, I think it’s definitely more of a matte (although I do get confused with Mac’s finishes). Haux (Satin) If there was a description that I disagreed with more then it’s this one. It is a very pale gold that I’d consider it to be an off white so you get the gist of how stark it is and so I would go in with a light hand and with the tiniest bit of product on a pencil brush and build up from there (if needed). Nylon(Frost) it’s description of being a “pale gold with icy shimmer” is pretty much on point. I tend to reserve this for nights out where I feel I can get away with going to town with quite a stark (in a pretty way) inner corner highlight. Obviously it was still in the back of my mind and for some time too and it only made it into my collection earlier on this year. When I first swatched it, I dismissed it and went for All That Glitters instead. It makes for a great all over lid shade pre contour/crease work. In reality, this shade is a barely there pink with a frost finish. Pink glitter on your eyes? Unless you were going to a carnival or fancy dress party, I wouldn’t touch this with a barge pole. Naked Lunch (Frost) is described as a “Minimal pink with shimmer”. If you’re new to Mac eyeshadows, the finish of it is indicated in the brackets after the name of the colour. Without further ado, I bring to you my collection of Mac eye shadows a little description along with swatches.

Suddenly it’s more of a case of NEED than WANT and I make it my mission to get down to the nearest Mac counter pronto.

Just when I think I’m content with what I’ve got and happy I’ve definitely got the best of the shades out there for me, I seem to stumble on yet another shade that I’ve somehow not seen before, or have seen before but totally disregarded it, OR Mac goes and releases yet another product that’s got my name written all over it. Everyone loves a Mac collection post don’t they? Whether it’s eyeshadows or lipsticks, I love thoroughly reading the reviews but especially gawping at the up close and personal photos of beautiful swatches which never fail to have me lusting over what my next Mac purchase is to be (Mac Half n Half or Viva Glam II?).
