MAC Shade Stick

As a huuuge fan, it's rare that a MAC product will truly dissapoint me. They're usually of a very high standard that tends to run throughout the entire range of products, yet I wasn't really pleased with the results many of the Shadesticks gave me. MAC market them as a 'rich and creamy eyeshadow delivered in a sophisticated stick-style format.' Okay, they are rich, I will give them that. Creamy, however? Not so much. Unless I warm them up for a while before using, they tug on the skin and drag across the eyelid resulting in anything but a smooth finish :-/ And the 'sophisticated' packaging has cause many of my own and others, to break halfway down the ...  Read the complete review

Mac is a brand that I have come to rely on and it is a great quality range which has something to suit everyone. It is not the cheapest brand but the quality is really worth it and you need minimal amounts of the product so it lasts a lot longer than other products.

The colour I bought was a pinky bronze, called Penny, but there are many different shades. It comes in a black tube with a coloured end, 'Mac Shade Stick'. You need to take of the lid and can see the crayon like make-up stick which you can wind up or down the ...  Read the complete review

I've only got one shadestick that I bought along with the colours to complete the Viva Glam V look for the Pamela Anderson eyes. I must say, unlike my experience with the other MAC products, which I LOVE, I'm not too fond of this one... I bought the colour mangomix, a coppery orange shade. It was recommended to me by one of the MAC make up artists. They said that it would bring out the colour of the shadows and complete the look. When they applied it on my lids, I couldn't really see what they were doing as I had to close my eyes, so I assumed that it really did make a difference to the look. Unfortunately, when I tried it the next day, I didn't get the ...  Read the complete review
