Mystery (Satin) If you’re after a cool toned, dark brown, then this is it. I like to pair this with All That Glitters or Woodwinked just to add depth and dimension and to enhance the contours of the eye. This is definitely a staple shade and would suit all eye colours. Mulch (Velvet) is a warm, bronzey-brown with a metallic sheen. I do like to smoke it up a little and add a darker drown shade on the outer third of the eye and slightly into the crease as well. Because of it’s neutral tone, you can get away with wearing a shiny metallic in the daytime. Easily one that you can wear alone and an amazing shade against tanned skin. I’d say it’s more of a warm golden brown, more gold and less brown though. Woodwinked (Veluxe Pearl) is described as ” a warm, red-toned brown with a metallic shine”. This works well as a solo shade on the lids just to add that polished look to a simple makeup look or partnered with a couple of darker bronzes and browns to create a smokey eye in a golden goddess sort of way. It’s less of a beige and more of a light, sandy gold with a pearlised finish.

Described by Mac as a “Beige with gold pearl” doesn’t do it justice as putting the word beige into any name/sentence/description just makes it sound oh so bland. Don’t be fooled by the name as it ‘s less glitter and more of a sheeny, shimmery metallic.

Mac Pro Palette x4 with Carbon, Haux, Nylon & Naked Lunch L-R: Naked Lunch, Nylon, Haux & CarbonĪll That Glitters (Veluxe Pearl) was the shade I chose when deciding between it and Naked Lunch. Also great for intensifying any eye look and a staple for a dark, smokey eye. She teams this with By Terry’s Ombre Blackstar in Misty Rock (which of course I also purchased), for a feminine, romantic look.Ĭarbon (Matte) is an “intense black” with a matte finish and great for creating a soft but defined eye by running it close along the lash line and smudging it in so you get a hazy effect. I must admit that this was an enabled purchase spurred on by none other than Tanya Burr.
In my opinion, it’s a dull, dusky pink with a hint of lilac and works brilliantly as a transitional shade or to add that bit of depth in the crease. Whilst I agree with the “soft muted rosy” part, it’s certainly not a brown. 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?).
