Re: Most Over rated MAC Shadow?

I'd have to say Gleam. It didn't show up on me at all! I'm so glad I swapped it for things I can actually use! Oh and Antiqued...It seriously just looked red on me so I returned it.

Thanks for the heads up on Idol Eyes and Shroom.
Was going to order those. Think I'll wait now until I can try them in person.

Honesty and Botanical. It's sooo light. I was way disappointed.

Beauty Marked--I was VERY disappointed with it at first, but then I used a shadestick first and patted beauty marked on. It turned out gorgeous. You could totally see the glitter specks. Same goes for Satin taupe.

I love shroom--I use it as a brow highlighter or when I'm trying to lighten my smokey eyes.

Re: Most Over rated MAC Shadow?

I hate parfait amour. It just doesn't work for me, the texture and the colour are all wrong.

Another colour I hate (although its a pigment) is All Girl. It sits and mocks me in its prettiness, but I hate its pinkness, and the way it applies.

So true, so many of these "must haves" like Parrot, Lucky Green, Guacamole etc etc, I never see anyone wear them, or maybe they do but never post those FOTDs which is weird 'cause they're so wanted you'd think people would want to "show off" that they own this awesome $80 shadow...

Lucky Green for me. Got it thru the Gone but not Forgotten program and ended up chucking it very shortly after.

Wow, Moth Brown has been my HG crease color since it was released with Madame B. I love it with my coloring.

Re: Most Over rated MAC Shadow?

i bought plumage as it looked a really dark blue-green in store. but tried it on at home and it was an unblendable (matte) solid soot colour. had to save the colour by using vanilla pigment to no avail.

I hated Plumage when I first got it and didn't use it for the longest. The girl that suggested it said to use it as a liner. It's awesome in the Outer V, though.

Black Tied. It just doesn't go on right and I find it harder to apply compared to other shadows (like Nehru).

I would have to say Idol Eyes and Plum. Plum looks like I took a purple stick of chalk and rubbed it on my eye lid!

all that glitters turned all orange on me.

shroom didn't work out for me - made me look very clownish but i'm willing to try it again after i finish up nylon.

Re: Most Over rated MAC Shadow?

Wow, I got Trax for my brother's girlfriend for Christmas. Hope she doesn't hate it...

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. =)

Swimming. The texture of it is so weird. I love the color, but anytime I'm wearing green I have to settle on a different green e/s that doesnt match as well because it takes so long to get it to look right. I've tried everything.

Re: Most Over rated MAC Shadow?

For me its humid. I adore the color, but it doesnt blend, and when you put it on it like, falls EVERYWHERE except where you want it. On your cheeks, on your undereyes, i found some on my FOREHEAD once! Its a ridiculous eyeshadow, but I still keep it because...well the same reason we all keep crap we dont use, because its MAC.

I think I'll have to go with Shroom and Omega, but maybe I haven't given them a fair chance.

Moth Brown
What is the big deal? Could someone please explain it to me? I think Smut is a cuter shade...

Trax it is hard to work with I get different colors and it blends strangly. When I blend it the shimmer goes away and it starts to look blotchy

Completely agree! Any Lustre e/s I have bought has been useless. But they looked sooooooo pretty

Re: Most Over rated MAC Shadow?

I have to agree that Sushi Flower was definately a colour that was totally overrated. Its a horrible day glo pink.:confused::confused:
Satin Taupe looks too ashy and I think that Shale is a little better.
