Hi guys! Today I have to share one of my favourite eyeshadows! This was my first MAC eyeshadow and it's in the shade All that Glitters. And yes, I did take the opportunity to reference The Lord of the Rings in the title - I freaking love that stuff. :D
The packaging is nice and practical, albeit a little big considering it only holds 1.3g of product. It shuts securely and I like that the top is clear so that you can see the shade inside.
All that Glitters has a Veluxe Pearl finish. I'm not totally educated on the different eyeshadow finishes that MAC do, but I believe the Veluxe Pearls are shimmery, pearly, bordering metallic shadows.
It is a beautiful shade which does get a lot of hype and I believe is one of their best selling eyeshadows. All that Glitters is a pinky-beigey-bronze shade with a golden edge. It's gorgeous all over the lid. I think it looks amazing on its own - blended into the crease. It's one of those multi-dimensional shades that looks different in different angles and lighting. In the crease it looks slightly darker. I like to think it sort of looks like a beige sunset on the eye!
The formula is very smooth and doesn't kick up a lot of powder. I will admit, it's not the most pigmented of shadows - it's not by any means chalky, or lacking in pigment but it isn't like BABAM COLOUR type thang. That doesn't bother me in any way as it is super easy to blend and it looks flawless on the eyes! Wear time is pretty typical if you have a primer on (I feel that all eyeshadows are great if you have a good primer!) - no creasing or fading.
It's a bit hard to see the colour in the swatches, so I do apologise! But the shade is beautiful nonetheless and I recommend having a swatchy-swatch instore if you haven't already!
I absolutely adore this shadow and it's definitely one of my most used. However, I don't feel I'll be running out and purchasing any other MAC shadows, because they are SO exorbitantly priced and they aren't the most amazing formula I've tried. MAC eyeshadows retail for AUD$33 in the clam shell compact with only 1.3g of product.
What is your favourite MAC eyeshadow?
