Most Over rated MAC Shadow?

[velvet]

i havent tried that many, but i have to agree with moth brown
it looked awful on me!!

[litlaur]

Chrome Yellow - I'm a big fan of brights, but yellow just doesn't work with my skintone.

Trax, on the other hand, I absolutely love. I could see how it might look bad or weird on others, though.

[bballgirl612]

paradisco- BARELY pigmented and nothing that great

[bluegrassbabe]

I'm voting for parrot, too. It is a pretty color, but not worth all the hype at all. There are a ton of blue-greens out there, and parrot is just not that unique. I have issues with it fading into and kind of mudding up the other colors when it's blended, but maybe thats just me.

Parrot. it's gorgeous and i love it to death, but there's just too much hype about it.

ditto.. shroom too.. blegh..

BEAUTY MARKED! I found it messy, not especially shimmery, and not at all true to the color in the pan. Then it shattered on me half way through. I think Satin Taupe and Black Tied are overrated, without being bad; they just didn't do it for me. Idol Eyes was a complete disappointment.

Shroom, trax, Paradisco....

[midnightlouise]

Parrot, definitely. It's a beautiful color, and I like it, but it's not worth all the insane prices on ebay.

[doloreshaze]

Satin Taupe - This is just too light to look good as a crease colour or an overall wash on me. It also makes me look tired. So now I use it as a lid colour with a darker brown in the crease, and it works well enough for that purpose, but I wish I hadn't paid $13 for it!

I totally agree with you....i like matte colors but I think they should have more.....

[MACreation]

Mythology used dry doesn't leave much colour but if you apply a layer of it wet first as a base it's amazing.

[baby_yousei]

Paradisco for sure, no pigmentation, bad blendability, and when I did get the color to show up, it wasn't all that exciting either =P

[tepi_telfast]

goldmine doesn't show up at all on my skin

[liquidsirenhoney]

sushi flower- it doesn't show up as birght on me as i had hoped
beauty marked-i just tried it after buying it online and it just looks blah

[pumpkincat210]

vex, leisuretime, cranberry, paradisco, sushi flower are my enemies.

[sweet8684girl]

idol eyes, parrot, and the lustres are my choices.

[flauschi]

veluxe pearls- i can´t see any shimmer or a amazing color-it looks blah on me
lustres- i have all the glitter on my face and no color on my lid
satin taupe-make me look tired
black tied- where is the glitter after applying???!!!

[Tira-Misu]

Paradisco & Shroom

[JesusShaves]

i have to add paradisco as well... it's like a bad sweeten up!

It has NO colour on me poo!

[diesel]

I seventh Shroom. It's the only MAC shadow I have in my main MU bag, and it doesn't do much for me - barely shows up and is too "thin" imo. A great alternative that's much more pigmented is from a Clinique duo with a shimmery warm brown. I *think* it's Like Mink but I could be wrong.

Underrated - Elite from Belle Azure! Great on warm skintones and fantastic as a bronzer.

[TESSAISDANK]

Trax, same reasons as everyone else.

[Katt]

I can't believe so many people dislike Trax! It is my HG eyeshadow. I get so many compliments when I wear it - I think it shows up the colour in my eyes really well.
