I am wondering if there are any good alternatives to brushes and fingers. Thanks in advance!

I use a metal spatula to pick up some shadow from the pot.  Then I apply that amount to my lid with my fingers.  I am using my fingers to apply but not directly putting them in the shadow.  If that makes any sense.

I wore Coil today.  I really liked it but the whole pan fell out of the pot.  The color didn't fall out.  It actually stayed in the pan.  I may have to get my hot glue gun out and glue the pan in the pot.  I'm in search of Dynamo tomorrow.

I didn't get the light pink (lots of pinks in my drawer) but thanks for the idea of how to use my highly charged.

I got Coil & Blacklit. I love them both

I couldn't get out today to search for Dynamo.  Massive headache.  But I put in a Mac order.  Why couldn't they have Dynamo?  It would have made things so much easier.  I'm really tempted to get the purple one too.  It looked so pretty.  But I have so many purples and I'm not even a purple person.

I was just thinking the same thing.  I wore Coil alone yesterday.  I was wondering which regular shadows I should pair with these.

I like them with Naked Pigment!!! I have used it every time I have worn them.

Great ideas!  I'll try them both.

Last night, I wore Blacklit on the lids (2 thin layers, with the first layer blended outwards and upwards a bit) with Dark Dare EDES under the eyes and winged out in the outer corners. Some black liner in the water lines and voila. I love the look of this combo - these two are my two favorite black shadows. Blacklit's iridescent shimmer is perfect - not so glittery like the Chanel black one - plus it's a beetle shell iridescence, not just plain old silver or gold. I never usually back up shadows, but I think I'm going to make an exception for Blacklit. I didn't back up Dark Dare at the time, but it's still on the Mac site - I'm putting a bit of a dent in it, so maybe that'll get a BU too after all.

For the rest of the face, I used Subtle Breeze MB on the cheeks and Musky Amethyst on the lips in a light layer. It was plenty sexy!

Damn, I wore Superwatt today and it did not photograph well at all. In fact, it looks like I wear plain beige eyeshadow, not shiny at all! I was so disappointed I deleted all the pictures. haha

Boo! Did it at least look nice in person?

Superwatt is so beautiful and shiny irl!! Even in my swatches it was beautiful, but it did not photograph well on my eyes. I'm confused!

Blacklit is the only black shadow I have been in love with except Clarity. It is like a creamy Clarity and makes an AWESOME base for it!

My Clarity is mostly lighter colors, so it looks like soft grey with green and gold iridescence when swirled together, but I bet that'd look great over Blacklit and really bring out that green sparkle.

Did you try Dark Dare Extra Dimension shadow? It's so deep, dark and rich and so blendable/buildable. Perfect non-sparkly black. I guess MAC's got us covered for black for a while!!

I tried it and it is the one ED shadow that did not love me back. It just would not work. My Clarity has a corner with a ton of black so it has been my go to for black.

Wow, I'm surprised. Was it the texture or was the color a little too cool for your skin tone? For me, I WISH MAC would bring out many more ED shadows with the "Glow" finish it has - so rich and luxurious, so much better than the usual mattes or satins.

I ended up with Fashion Circuit, Infra Voilet and Brilliantly Lit... Now I just have to hope and pray that they arrive undamaged from overseas!!!

I am really looking forward to playing with this new formula

It was the color on just that one and how it looked on me! It was not pretty. It looked like I rubbed charcoal on my eyes.  I am in LOVE with the ED finish and application, but sadly that one was not my friend.

That sounds awesome liba

Finally popped into my MAC store today and tested these babies out. I absolutely love the texture of them and they blend like a dream. It's ideal for those days when you just don't have enough time and just want something to slap on to your lids literally. I ended up getting superwatt, electroplate, and pure flash. The only downer is that it seems there's not enough product in them that I know I'd go through these in 1-2 months time.

I would not actually mind if that did happen for once! Golden memories are better than agonizing over dozens of products that are going to go bad. (My lipglosses . I was trying to wear On Display today and !)

My list is now at 7 due to the swatches.  Gah!
