Hey everyone! Now who in the world doesn’t like blue right? And being the makeup junkie that I am, I am a serial blue shade buyer. Yup Guilty as charged! I think this is the most shade I have in my collection (I mean when combined with other brands in my entire collection) it’s maniacal! It’s like red lipsticks with me, I just can’t keep my hands off of them.
Cobalt – This is an unusual primary blue shadow hints of indigo to it. It is a Matte finish but strangely has some shimmer in it. I need a little bit of effort when using this shade as it’s a bit dry so a good eye base is mandatory when using this shade. It’s still a gorgeous shade to me but be warned it is a tad drying after a while of application. Would i repurchase this? Honestly I would have to say, No just because its too dry for me.
Electric Eel – This is a bright deep cyan blue that reminds me of my high school uniform. It is the exact shade ( you know what I’m talking about my fellow Malaysians! haha). It is in a Satin finish. A lot of people complain that this shade is not a great shade, saying that its patchy and no pigmentation. However, I’m experiencing quite the opposite with this shade. On me it has an amazing colour payoff and blending is effortless.
Freshwater – This is a bright, medium ocean blue. It is in the Veluxe Pearl finish family and is absolutely amazing. It has such an amazing colour payoff and is bold. I generally use this for the lower lash line for a pop of colour. It is an amazing shade for brown eyes in my opinionn!
Atlantic Blue – This is a beautiful deep, intense cobalt blue that has a slight violet undertone to it. It is in a Matte finish but requires little work when using this colour. The pigmentation is great and in my opinion, is a must-have. This blue has the most amazing and smooth texture for a matte finish. It applies evenly & doesn’t fade or change in colour.
Navel – This is an indigo blue shade with a hint of purple to it. Though belonging to the Velvet finish family, it really is more like a Matte in my opinion. I’m not to hot about this shade. I can say it’s a regret buy. It was beautiful when the MUA put it on for me but I can’t seem to make it work by myself. It is dry and patchy and the colour never seems to blend well.
Contrast – This is a beautiful navy blue that is perfect for a smokey eye. It is in the Velvet finish family and is absolutely amazing. It’s almost similar to Deep Truth (which is sadly discontinued) but in my opinion slightly lighter. I’ve repurchased this twice because it’s a great sub for carbon whenever I want to add some depth to certain eye looks.
Tilt – This is a beautiful duo-chrome blue shade which has some green and purples in it. It’s in the Frost finishy family and is intense. The colour payoff is magnificent and blending is a breeze. I love love love this shade. It’s another shade I have repurchase twice because I like to pair it with contrast or use it in the inner corners. It’s also fantastic when paired with MAC’s Steamy. I love how smooth and creamy this eyeshadow is. It is one of my all time favourite MAC shade and I hope they never ever discontinue this colour.
Done with the blue on to the next colour of this series. Stay tuned for the purples next. 🙂
