MAC Swatches: Eyeshadows I have owned.

By adorebeauty06 · February 23, 2010

This is like a mini "School" project for me. I took pictures, and cropped and labelled all the names individually. Taking my time to save the file. And i did this in 2 days. The only post which took me THAT long to prepare for. I won't stop here though. Whenever i will buy eyeshadows, I will update in the future the same way as the ones below, but it wouldn't be categories in such way or in any order. I read alot of reviews or watch hauls before i justify my purchase from MAC. I love to watch karlasugar.com as she has alot of great daylight swatches. So this is just my version, hoping to help more of my readers to know how the eyeshadow looks like, ESPECIALLY on my dark skintone. Different skintone makes the eyeshadow swatches appear rather different. So here it is!

MAC Pinks/Purples Swatches:

Expensive pink

shale

vellum

Plum dressing

Vibrant Grape

Shadwy LadyMAC Highlight Swatches:

Nylon

Ricepaper

Nanogold

Jadin aires Pressed pigment

Lightfall

MAC Brown/Burgundy/Copper Swatches:

Woodwinked

Cocomotion Pressed Pigment

Amber light

Brash

Sweet Chestnut

All that glitters

MAC Dark Brown/Black Swatches:

Sable

Chocolate Brown pressed pigment

Spiced Chocolate

Black tied

MAC Colour Swatches:

Golden lemon pressed pigment

Gilded green pressed pigment

Teal pressed pigment

Deep Truth

 

These are the only eyeshadows i have owned. It might not be alot but i hope you find this useful, well maybe because I PUT ALOT OF EFFORT on them! :)

I shall put the date here: 23rd February 2010

To be updated.

Ooh, thanks for the clear swatches! Expensive Pink looks so gorgeous and not pink at all (ironically)! I couldn't even do the swatches for my Orgasm Dupes post properly so I really appreciate the effort you've put into doing this. Smiling

WOW WOW WOW. very neat and tidy and i cant believe u took each photo individualy and cropped them individually and all is like... ohmygosh??? very very good beauty blogger! that's why i love ur blog!! Laughing out loud i really like deep truth and spiced chocolate (it looks so diff, the swatch and in pan)

wow! that's very very time-consuming work.. to take pics and make sure the color is ok etc etc i understand... plus i havent learn how to crop and combine pics together.. impressive!!

i didn't know cocomotion is a eyeshadow, cos i only have it in loose pigment form. or did u press it?

That's a lot of effort and time put into this, kudos to you!
Spiced Chocolate looks like such a nice dark brown when it seems mid-toned in the pan. pretty..

Oh and I have one suggestion, you could maybe list the names of the shadows below the photo, so incase people google [insert mac shadow] swatches, your entry will show up. Or if people want to find a specific swatch they can just Ctrl + f and type the name in. Cause image text doesn't show up in search or find. Just a suggestion of course, (:

I take forever to just crop, rescale and edit my pics - if it were me, I'd probably have needed 2 weeks for this project! I really like Brash (It was from the Holiday Spiced Choc quad? - I kick myself for not getting it everytime I see it!. And chocolate brown looks different on me - a little more red-toned if I remember correctly.
