Satellite Dreams is a mid toned purple with shimmer. It doesn't lean too red or too blue but it's still on the bluer side of purple (but not as much as a violet). It's a Veluxe Pearl and has a soft, smooth texture.
As is true with most purples, this isn't as pigmented as other colours. For some reason purples are sheerer through most brands of eye shadow I have. A primer is definitely needed here. It fades with a grey tone very quickly if I don't wear one. Over Urban Decay Primer Potion it will show much truer to the pan and last a good 7-8 hours. Even with a primer, it fades a touch sooner than other shadows I have from MAC.
I like to pack this on over the lid and add plenty of smudged black liner to create a great smokey look.
MAC Shadows are available from MAC (website/stores/counters):
-Pro pans are £10.00
-Pots are £12.00
I think that you can buy a better purple eye shadow for £1! I think this one looks appalling without a primer. Oh dear, I am becoming a serious make up cynic in my old age......
ReplyDeleteYeah, MAC really don't do the best purples.
DeleteLOL... you are funny..
ReplyDeleteThe best purple I've tried is from Mally Beauty, I can even use it as a liner!
ReplyDeleteI am trying not to buy anymore talc based eyeshadows and to just stick to minerals, but pans are so convenient and I haven't found a purple that compares with Mally's.
I've got plenty of fantastic purples from minerals, but I get sucked in by MAC way too often!
