Hi everybody! Can anyone provide comparison swatches of the following MAC shadows:

Socialite (from the stroke of Midnight Warm palette), Color #2 (from the Double Feature #4 eyeshadow duo), Uninterrupted (pro-longwear shadow) and Outre.

Preferably on bare skin in indirect sunlight or artificial light without a flash. I'm ~NC15/20. Thanks so much! :)

Hi Can someone do comparison swatches for MACs Maroon Pigment and MACs Heritage Rouge pigment please? To cut a very long story short, I can't tell the difference between the 2 as they both look the same

I have heritage rouge but not maroon for you. Let me know if you would like to see that one at least.

That's because they are so close it's not worth having both unless you're a piggie collector like me. Maroon is on the left, Heritage Rouge on the right, NW15 indoor lighting. If I had to give you a difference, Heritage Rouge is ever so slightly redder. HTH!

Thanks for the swatches. I thought as much, cos when I received Maroon last week, I said to myself and then to a friend on Instagram that it looks like a pigment I already own, but couldn't put a name to the face. I nearly came close to selling it, but changed my mind a few days after putting up the listing on eBay. Cos I spent so long looking for Maroon (just a few months), it's happily sitting in my pigment and glitter collection next to Heritage Rouge... Or a random pigment. Still got a long way to go on my collection. Thank you once again xxx

I would love a swatch of Lingering Kiss, Media and Talk That Talk l/s next to each other (preferably on pale unlined lips and light NW skin)
That would be such great help! Thank you

How do I make a swatch request? Does this quote thing work with images we've taken pictures of on our device? Easy! Post a reply to this thread with the item that you'd like to see swatched, plus any condition requests (on unlined lips, on dark/pale skin, etc). This not a thread exclusively for MAC products. How do I answer a swatch request? Even easier! When you see a swatch request you simply click   and then you can respond to the request by either attaching an image file, link to a picture uploaded to the Specktra Gallery or link to an image uploaded to a private server or image hosting site like Photobucket. Don't forget to give as much relevant detail as you can - lighting conditions, whether or not you've used a base, and other little but important details. Please do not start a new thread with an individual swatch request, or respond to a swatch request in this thread with a new individual thread. The point of this thread is to keep all our miscellaneous swatches as a single easily-searched resource. Some quick tips:
  • Be realistic with your swatch requests. If you ask for every single eyeshadow MAC has to be swatched against each other, your chances of getting a complete request are very slim. I suggest asking for no more than five or six items per request and space your requests over a few days.
  • Don't bump your requests. If someone is able to fulfill your request, they will do so without you posting multiple bumps.
  • The swatch thread only works if people give and take in equal amounts. If someone fulfils your request, please see if you can answer someone else's swatch request.
Sample request: And remember, a clear swatch is a useful swatch! Try to be as colour accurate as possible, make sure the picture is in focus, and try to include as much relevant detail as you can. Unless the request asks for products to be layered ("Rebel lipstick over Beet lipliner, please!"), avoid layering products - it alters the colour and texture of the swatch and makes it a little less useful. Happy swatching! :)
