Re: Most Over rated MAC Shadow?

Sushi Flower - I think this is way overrated! It barely shows up on me and looks as if I have pink eye.

Re: Most Over rated MAC Shadow?

I would def. have to say that Shroom is over rated, everytime I tried to make this work for me it looked horrible....made the area I was going to highlight turn into a grey/dirty color....I prefer Nylon, Phloof or Ricepaper to be honest.

Shroom. Know this is a HG for a lot of ladies, but it turns a ghostly shade of white on me.

I love Club e/s and shroom and i just bought trax and thought it was way pretty! One that everyone talked about and i thought 'ooo i have to buy' and then felt disappointed by is Bang On Blue from c shock. The colour doesn't blend well and i find i prefer the e/s with a bit of sheen.

You should try Adore from Urban Decay. It is gorgeous and puts Bang On Blue to shame, although I still like BOB too...

I dislike:
Contrast - A very very dark bluish-purpleish color. Thought it was pretty, but when it goes on it's a gross bruisy color. I bought it thinking it was Deep Truth, which I promptly returned it for.
ChillBlue (lustre) - A very light icy blue, beautiful in the pot, but when I put it on it's a very very washed out blue, like the color of CVS blue shadows. Not pretty, and then in a half hour it's all gone, EVEN with a base used. Not sure what collection it was from.
Taupeless (lustre) - From Lingerie, I thought it was gorgeous, but it's the same as Chillblue, gone in 30 minutes. I HATE LUSTRES!!
The sparkley grey that came in the Velvet (Smokey) Pallette for Holiday 06. It looks sooooooooooooooo beautiful in the compact, but when I put it on, there are NO sparkles, even when I pack it on. I tried it wet and noooo it turns a hideous purpley grey. Yuck.

I love Black Tied, and I have the one from Lure, and one that came in the Velvet Pallette. I love it sooo much. To get sparkles, you have to pat it on with a sponge or a flat brush. =)

I can feel your pain lustre eyeshadows are a pain in the ass!!!!!!

Re: Most Over rated MAC Shadow?

Bang On Blue is an eyeshadow for me that didn't live up to the hype. I tried it on and it was chalky and was patchy when I applied it. Might have been a bad batch though.

Sushi flower is another. Its really pretty but as an eyeshadow it makes me look like I have pink eye or some weird allergic reaction.

Fertile was ALMOST an e/s i despised, it looks beautiful in the pan but when I wore it, it looked liek patchy black shadow. It wasnt until I used it wet as a liner that I appreciated it. Its beautiful as a liner, more fun the black, perfect for purple looks.

Forgery, Idol Eyes, Retrospeck, Mythology (and everything flaky!): They all just love to jump off the eyelids and slide down the nose and fall on the cheeks, regardless of what base is used, even CCB's. Maybe a little exaggerated, but flaky eye shadows are no fun.

Re: Most Over rated MAC Shadow?

Sushi Flower; although i've seen it look great on people, i just don't like how it looks on me. i'm still trying to find that color to use it with that'll make it look good, though.

Idol Eyes; ew? i packed this on like crazy and still couldn't get it to stick!

I'm having a hard time with Beauty Marked... maybe I just don't know how to use it. I can use it as a liner, and nothing else. I love the way it looks - it's so pretty in the pan - but I haven't been able to use it for anything much.

Re: Most Over rated MAC Shadow?

Overrated for would be Trax (I've never been able to get it to work for me), Cranberry, Summer Neutral, Bang on Blue (doesn't blend well for me), Big T (the blueish-green of it just doesn't mix well with my skin tone) and Samoa Silk (bought it cause I liked the name--I'm half Samoan--but it looks like I've been crying all night or something when I put it on).

Shimmermoss!
Looks horrid on me, or maybe I'm just not used to the color. I'll try it again sometime.

Re: Most Over rated MAC Shadow?

wow - it's hard to say...i got most of the sought after ones at one point or another, and then sold them on LJ. i had lucky green - it's pretty but i didn't ever use it - kicky blue is fun but not practical for everyday for me...i really think i've had some of them that were pretty but if you never reach for them...what's the point?!

Lucky Green..I've seen this color in another palette. I've seen this color in micas. I've seen this color in pigments, just add mixing medium to it..presto Lucky Green.

Gleam & Mythology - No matter how much I try to pack them on, no color shows up. All they do is leave a mess of glitter all over my face!

Paradisco- I don't understand the hype about this crappy shadow.
Trax- A chunky mess.
Beautyburst- Everytime I look at this shadow I think, "Why did you buy this?
Moth Brown-It's okay, but not the greatest.

It's so funny because as soon as I saw this, I immediately thought "Mythology". But now that I see it, Trax is pretty bad too. It doesn't look like anything. Oh, and Brule is god awful!!
