The pink pearl in the pan does not translate onto the lids. This one is a medium deep reddish brown which applies quite matte. Dark Brew: Described as a deep chocolate with pink pearl in a velvet finish. The shade itself seems quite unique to me but needs to be paired well, else will make the eye look muddy.ġ0. The shadow is quite soft and creamy and has a good colour payoff. Butterfudge: This is a satin finish shadow, described as a dirty mocha with gold pearl. If applied on its own with a brush, it’s going to be fall out.ĩ. Again, this shade would work better if applied wet or with fingers. Honey Lust: This is again a lustre finish shadow and is described as a “bronze dipped peach.” The texture is a bit gritty when you swatch and is glittery. The texture is soft and applies smoothly, but feels a tad bit densely packed.Ĩ. ![]() The shade is quite pretty and casts a nice variation in the neutral palette. Gingersnap: This one is described as a deep rosy pink and is in frost finish. On its own, it can have a bit of fall out.ħ. This is definitely a shade which would apply better with finger tips or a wet brush. This shade is a rich coppery brown with a metallic frosted finish. Creative Copper: Described as a frosted gold, this one is in lustre finish. The colour really had to be re-applied again and again to show up.Ħ. This one seemed like the pigment is too tightly packed and was a pain to work with or even to swatch. Vanilla Extract: This one is supposed to be in frost finish and is described as a soft warm yellow beige. Again, its peachiness is slightly lost on our medium skin tone.ĥ. It is a muted peachy shade which applies evenly. ![]() Warm Breeze: This one is described as a pastel coral with a satin finish. Again, the texture is smooth and easy to work with.Ĥ. It’s not a “wham bam” yellow gold – more like a subtle variation of it. This one is a yellow gold with a frosted sheen. Lemon Tart: Described as “metallic gold” – this one is in the famous MAC Veluxe Pearl finish. It can again be used for daytime highlighting or for setting your primer.ģ. The shadow again has a creamy texture and applies evenly. Brule: Described as a soft creamy beige, this one is in satin finish. Works well to highlight the brow bone or inner corner (for a daytime look).Ģ. Although, on our medium skin tone, the peachiness isn’t as obvious as it would be on a lighter skin tone. This one is a peachy shade with a metallic sheen. Hey: This shadow is in deluxe pearl finish and is described as metallic coral. There is no mirror and no brush with this palette.ġ. Yeah, I know that doesn’t happen with you and me – no shade ever gets over!! But there are people out there who buy makeup and not hoard it!! Trust me, there are!! □ As are all things MAC, the palette comes encased in a black cardboard box. Also, it would have given the palette more mileage if and when a shade was over, you could replace it. Yes, I know that is the scenario with most pre-made eyeshadow palettes however, considering that this palette is similar in make and build to their customisable ones – allowing the user to be able to move shades out or around would have been a good option. You cannot customize it or even re-arrange the shades as per your liking. Yes, it isn’t the thinnest or the most compact and has way too much space between eyeshadows, still! The only point which bums me out about this pre-made palette is that the individual pans cannot be pulled out. ![]() I find them sturdy and the transparent top helps me figure which palette I may have picked up. Packaging: Disclaimer – I kind of like MAC palettes. Unfortunately for us, the price has remained INR 9900 My Experience with MAC Eyeshadow x15 Warm Neutral Palette: This palette was originally priced at $100 but now costs $65. Also, there is a huge disparity in the price between India and US – that is because MAC fairly recently, dropped the prices of eyeshadows in US. Also note that unlike the x9 palette, this x15 palette has full-sized eyeshadow pans and I won’t bother to get into the fact that to make a balanced palette, you will need an array of shades across the spectrum for which MAC refills will just not be available in India. For a customisable palette – each refill will cost INR 900 X 15 plus the cost of the empty palette itself. ![]() It is way beyond what a normal neutral palette would cost, but do keep in mind that it’s still cheaper than a customised MAC neutral palette.
