Majority of them are semi-mattes with a subtle sheen. Some can be totally matte while some are frosty. Satin – Satin eye shadows also vary in finish. Examples are Blanc Type, Copperplate, Handwritten etcĥ. Some people however find these hard to blend.
Matte² – These are known as Matte Squared and the difference between these and Matte ones is that Matte² shadows have a buttery texture with very good color payoff. Some of the good mattes are Swiss Chocolate, Soft Brown, Carbon etc.Ĥ. Some can be excellent and very pigmented while others, specially the LE ones can be really dry. Matte – These have no shimmer, glitter or sheen.
Typically these are dry, have chunky glitter and a lot of fall out. Lustre – avoid these if you are not a fan of glitter coz that’s what they have in plenty. Some examples of Frosts are Sable, Satin Taupe, Amber Lights, Bronze, Ricepaper, Humid etc.Ģ. The con is that not all shades are very pigmented. The best thing about the Frost eye shadows are that they are shimmery but does not have an overdose of glitter. Frost – these have fine shimmer that give a shining iridescence finish. So here’s a short guide to the different MAC eye shadow finishes with examples of some popular shades to give a better idea.ġ. A lot of you might know much more than me but a lot of you might not. I was quite ignorant of the difference between all these finishes till some time back but I did my R&D and here I am sharing with you my knowledge. We all know that MAC has a mind boggling array of eye shadows and in the store, it can get a bit overwhelming with all these shades and on top of that the different finishes. I started off with buying Sleek’s i-divine palettes (which are awesome) and now veering towards getting some MAC. Recently though and maybe it’s all because of blogging, I have discovered a passion to collect eye shadows. Even though I did buy them, I was never too enthusiastic about eye makeup and more interested in adding lipsticks to my stash. I must admit that I was never an eye shadow girl.
