How long does it take you to hit the bottom of a MAC eyeshadow?

pshhhh I BARELY hit pan on an e/s (Woodwinked). I can see a tiny bit of the pan. and I've had it since hmm 2004???? lol but I went a while without wearing e/s and have recently gotten back into it. I imagine Shroom will be the next one to hit pan.

I've only hit pan on Brule haha. And it took me more than a year. But I didn't wear it everyday though, although it is my go-to colour when I do wear shadow.

And it depends on the shadow as well. Like crazy colours I think it'll take forever to hit pan.

I haven't hit pan on my eyeshadows yet and it's been a year. I think it's a sign I have too many since I don't usually use the same ones every time. The ones that will probably hit pan first are the highlighters.

I haven't hit the pan on my e/s. I guess the first one will probably be Shroom. I use it quite often.

Handwritten I've had for maybe 8 months & there's a tiny bit of pan showing. I use this everyday over my eye liner.

It took me about 18 months to hit the pan on shroom.

And about 12 months to hit the pan on my Family Silver MES - I loved that eyeshadow!

I ran out of Brule after a whole year of daily use (I used as my brow highlighter). I've been using Blanc Type now for the same purpose since early 2009 and I think I'll hit the pan any day now. It's taking me longer to finish it cos I also use either Vanilla p/m or Solar White as highlight now.

I've also hit the pan on Goldmine which I bought in 2006 I think. I don't use it every day, though it does get lotsa love from me.

White Frost was one of my first Mac eyeshadows from about a year ago, and about 50% pan is showing... I'm not really even sure how. However, I bought Folie for my brows in June 2009 and it looks as though I've barely made a dent... obviously I do my brows every day, with occasional touch ups later in the day.

I think it depends on the texture somewhat, to be honest. The softer textures tend to fly up into the air, kind of wasting some product

After about 6 months of daily use, I hit the pan on my beloved Vanilla e/s. It takes me about a year to use the entire thing up. I just started my 4th pan. I use it everyday in some way. I just started my second Blushbaby and Pink Swoon Blushes. Those took about 18 months of wearing 3-4x a week to use up. I finished up Blacktrack in about a year too.

I have hit pan on my Studio Fix Powder! I've had it for a year and a half and I'm so happy that I've hit pan on it!

Ive had shroom since i was a freshmen, I just graduated and I still havent hit pan on it!!

Had been using Shroom everyday, took about a year to hit pan. I also have the Dame Edna Beauty Powder when they came out, had been using it everyday and going to hit pan soon.

I've been using Shroom nearly every day for a year, can't remember when I first hit the bottom but I reckon I will get another month or so out of it

I've hit pan and had to repurchase Shroom, All That Glitters, Expensive Pink and Woodwinked. All from daily use, and they took around a year or so I think.

I've had satin taupe for almost a year now (10 months if I remember correctly) and I'm about to hit pan. I use it very often.. it's my favourite!

Took me a few months for Orb. I used it as a high light, all over color, or to blend out harsh edges.
