Quinning
MAC Quinning Eyeshadow x 8 Palette ($45.00 for 0.49 oz.) has a extra spring-time, pastel-leaning shade story, which might usually spell hassle for manufacturers as pastel eyeshadows are a problem to do properly… and much more so when the model isn’t actually lauded for its eyeshadow any extra. Time typically runs collectively for me, so I used to be simply interested by how a lot I used to like MAC’s eyeshadows and the way little they curiosity me now! The truth is that MAC hasn’t been my “go-to” for eyeshadow in practically a decade. I’m shocked the components hasn’t returned to kind on condition that size of time, although.
Sadly, this palette simply is a reminder of how a lot the components has modified over time; the eyeshadows have been sheerer, drier, thinner, and extra liable to fading all through the palette. It could completely require a superb eyeshadow primer (one thing with a little bit of tackiness) or moist brushes to make it work.

System Overview
$17.00/0.05 oz. – $340.00 Per Ounce
The components is meant to be a “extremely pigmented powder” that goes on “evenly and blends properly.” MAC eyeshadows run the gamut from whole failures to long-time, cult-favorite staples. Typically, the everlasting line has been extra constant in performance–and larger efficiency at that–compared to restricted version launches, however it might actually rely.
The Matte end tends to have a firmer press and a little bit of thinness in comparison with different matte formulation in the marketplace, so MAC matte eyeshadows have a tendency to construct up higher and have higher wear-time with out fallout as they don’t seem to be powdery in any respect. Among the newer matte end shades have had a extra velvety high quality to them that offers them a softer really feel however aren’t powdery; these have been simpler to mix and are sometimes extra pigmented in a single layer.
The Lustre end is designed to have sheerer pigmentation, and it usually has extra sheer to medium protection with a drier, dustier consistency that may be exhausting to use with a dry brush. Lustre end shades can endure from fallout throughout utility, too. They’re the old-fashioned model of an eyeshadow “topper.” I’d suggest making use of with a fingertip or making use of with a dampened brush to get smoother, extra even protection and decrease fallout.
The Satin end is few and much in-between, however it’s softer and extra yielding than the Matte end however performs equally. They have a tendency to have very low sheen however are fairly blendable with medium to opaque protection. It may be simple to combine the end up with the Velvet end, which has extra of a sparkle-over-matte impact however are extra powdery than the true Matte end.
The Frost end is extra firmly-pressed into the pan however does not have fallout, is usually pigmented, and blends out properly sufficient. They’ll typically be slightly drier to the contact relying on how a lot shimmer is within the shade. The Veluxe Pearl end is likely one of the creamier takes throughout the vary, and newer shades launched within the end are likely to have extra average, silicone-like slip. I’ve discovered that Veluxe Pearl end shades are likely to have extra semi-opaque pigmentation and are extra constant in efficiency than among the different finishes.
One factor I’ve discovered with MAC eyeshadows is that they have a tendency to last more with out primer than the common model (eight hours). Whereas some eyeshadow shades do not swatch properly, they usually apply higher in practice–as in on the eyes!–than simply swatched on the pores and skin. They are often fairly hit and miss, and so they have inconsistencies between releases (see Carbon and its sordid evaluation historical past!).

System Overview
$17.00/0.05 oz. – $340.00 Per Ounce
The components is meant to be a “extremely pigmented powder” that goes on “evenly and blends properly.” MAC eyeshadows run the gamut from whole failures to long-time, cult-favorite staples. Typically, the everlasting line has been extra constant in performance–and larger efficiency at that–compared to restricted version launches, however it might actually rely.
The Matte end tends to have a firmer press and a little bit of thinness in comparison with different matte formulation in the marketplace, so MAC matte eyeshadows have a tendency to construct up higher and have higher wear-time with out fallout as they don’t seem to be powdery in any respect. Among the newer matte end shades have had a extra velvety high quality to them that offers them a softer really feel however aren’t powdery; these have been simpler to mix and are sometimes extra pigmented in a single layer.
The Lustre end is designed to have sheerer pigmentation, and it usually has extra sheer to medium protection with a drier, dustier consistency that may be exhausting to use with a dry brush. Lustre end shades can endure from fallout throughout utility, too. They’re the old-fashioned model of an eyeshadow “topper.” I’d suggest making use of with a fingertip or making use of with a dampened brush to get smoother, extra even protection and decrease fallout.
The Satin end is few and much in-between, however it’s softer and extra yielding than the Matte end however performs equally. They have a tendency to have very low sheen however are fairly blendable with medium to opaque protection. It may be simple to combine the end up with the Velvet end, which has extra of a sparkle-over-matte impact however are extra powdery than the true Matte end.
The Frost end is extra firmly-pressed into the pan however does not have fallout, is usually pigmented, and blends out properly sufficient. They’ll typically be slightly drier to the contact relying on how a lot shimmer is within the shade. The Veluxe Pearl end is likely one of the creamier takes throughout the vary, and newer shades launched within the end are likely to have extra average, silicone-like slip. I’ve discovered that Veluxe Pearl end shades are likely to have extra semi-opaque pigmentation and are extra constant in efficiency than among the different finishes.
One factor I’ve discovered with MAC eyeshadows is that they have a tendency to last more with out primer than the common model (eight hours). Whereas some eyeshadow shades do not swatch properly, they usually apply higher in practice–as in on the eyes!–than simply swatched on the pores and skin. They are often fairly hit and miss, and so they have inconsistencies between releases (see Carbon and its sordid evaluation historical past!).
