*REVIEW* MAC Eyeshadow in Satin Taupe

Hello! :)
I have a review for you: the MAC Eyeshadow in Satin Taupe. This is one of the frost finishes, and I bought it a while ago now - It is my first MAC Eyeshadow! :)
 

 

 

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY:

This costs £14.50, which is quite expensive (like all MAC shadows) so I did think about which shadow to buy for quite some time before I bought it as I knew I wanted a shadow I would be able to get a lot of use out of.

I bought this from the Debenhams website, but you can also get it online at the MAC website too; MAC is also available in some department stores in the UK and shops.

 

PIGMENTATION:

I've been really pleased with the pigmentation of this shadow, especially considering purple/taupe shadows are notoriously hard to get well pigmented.

The swatch above is with a primer on the top swatch, and without a primer on the bottom swatch.

As you can see the shadow works best with a primer and something to cling onto, but it's not a bad swatch without a primer.

Satin Taupe is a plum/taupe colour with gold/bronze shimmer; it makes a really nice colour for an everyday look!

 

TEXTURE:

The texture of this seems to be fairly hard, though not the hardest shadow I have. It seems to be quite well pressed and doesn't kick up a load of powder like some others I have. It's not a creamy type of shadow by any  means, but the texture doesn't seem to get in the way of the pigmentation.

 

WEARABILITY:

This shadow seems to last quite a while on me and I haven't noticed any creasing (though I generally don't get a huge amount of creasing with other shadows anyway). This lasts around 8  hours on me but I do get it starting to fade slightly by then.

 

OVERALL:
Generally I'm really pleased I have this shadow, and I'm glad I chose this to be my first MAC shadow ever! :) It's a colour I can use on an everyday basis and it always looks really pretty.

 

Would I buy again?

Yes, and I plan to investigate buying other MAC eyeshadows (I always get distracted by their concealers!)

 

Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoyed my review! :)
