Picture of My Dark Magic Mineralized Eyeshadow
Swatch
Look at how beautiful these colors are in direct sunshine.
I think this eyeshadow is very pretty. The purple side is gorgeous and the black side has some deep blue/purple veins making it very pretty and unique. This is perfect for a smokey look. However, as all of MAC mineralized eyshadows, this doesn't look as good in the eyes as it does when your swatch it. On the lids this basically looks like a black eyeshadow with a little bit of shimmer. You can keep the shimmer and the color vibrant like the swatch above if you use fix plus or any other spray (I'm guessing water would work as well). It'll give it that "foiled look". However without fix plus it pretty much looks like a black eyeshadow with a little bit of shimmer.
What do you think of this eyeshadow? Are you getting it?

Hey Ansa:
ReplyDeleteHow did you get these products already?!
I ordered mine online yesterday and have to wait a week for them to come.
Thanks for doing this review! I was debating getting this - it's kinda expensive at $25, but it looks so worth it!
Thanks girls for all of your comments.
ReplyDelete@ Miss Kimmy-My MAC pro store was one of 10 in the US that got to sell theirs early. I was very lucky.
I usually dont like mineralized eyeshadow because of the glitters..but this color is soo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI swatched this but thought it had too much fallout and didnt buy it. What do you think?

I think the colors are really beautiful, super pigmented! I don't think I could pull it off though, I'm so pale (:
ReplyDeleteThe colors are gorgeous! But I agree with the above poster - those colors would be hard for someone with fair skin to pull off! :(

& they do look gorgeous in the sunlight!
This whole collection is sold out! Especially this shadow that I wanted! i have to try to hunt it down online now ;( I guess ya snooze ya lose. Did I mention before how women are make-up vultures? LOL! XOXO
ReplyDelete@ Venus in Virgo - OMG yes! It's crazy. Check out Nordstrom. They still have it.
ReplyDeleteI ordered one.. mine came looking a mess compared to yours lol, but the colors are beautiful
ReplyDeleteIm addicted to using my fix+ right now.. but i havent tried it with these shadows. I will today.. great idea because normally i just use a greasepaint stick or paintpot but fix+ should give that foiled look!!
ReplyDeleteAH! i re-read your post and figured out how to not make it look so black on my lids! THANKS! I was wondering how in your photo the color looks more purple than mine. It was really charcoal on mine LOL! XOXO
