Swatches…
Plumage, Lime and Free to be |
Verdict:
Plumage has really good color pay off but… it is powdery and loose. You are bound to let loose a lot more product than you need at the touch of your brush, so watch out for fall out! Lucky for me Eb gave me a heads up so I knew what to expect, thanks girl.
Free to be and Lime have a smooth powdery texture but poorer color pay off. I also found them to be hard to blend, and practically impossible to layer on. Free to be can work as blush too especially on lighter skin tones.
I got these in their refill pans in the hope of putting them in my MUFE magnetic palette. Unfortunately I found the strength of their magnets very weak. They stick but with a little shake they get loose :-(. I have never heard this complaint before so I guess it might be specific to the MUFE magnetic palette? They are also available in the regular individual packaging though.
Lime is a Pro shade so you can only get it in a MacPro store, Free to be and Plumage are regular.
They all retail at 12.50€ for 1.5g in the refill pan and 16.50€ in the regular packaging.
Honestly I am disappointed with these, I expected a better from Mac. This is my first bad experience with Mac eye shadows. If I could do it over I would get only Plumage.
Hope this helps someone,
TTFN

u're very welcome girl. plumage is a beautiful colour. i would use a cream base and then pat on the colour rather than sweep.
