Mark Reid Art - Kryolan Turquoise #TK2 (Powered by CubeCart)
Looks - Bright Green and Blue with Kryolan Palette #5308-SF

Kryolan TK2, is similar to NewlyMinted. It is slightly more aqua than NM, but it is soooo small. But Kryolan gives awesome pay off and doesnt crease compared to NM. And its cheaper and bigger.

(Well, I bought it at 7.00)

Wow. Trax is one of my fav. MAC eye shadows. It looks great on deep skin tones, IMO.

I hate Retrospeck.

 

[joey444]

I love retrospeck! It's like a perfect gold color on me. I also love bitter, I'm surprised so many people hate it.

I hate Falling Star (I look sick in it), Sable (haven't been able to pair it with anything that makes me look decent!), Sweet Lust, Woodwinked (such a pretty color that just doesn't work for me) and Cosmic.

 

[LuvinMyMAC]

I hate Trax with a passion!! It just doesn't work for me and it has no color payoff whatsoever. Ugghhh..hate that damn thing.

Idol Eyes

when i saw the thread title beauty marked popped into my head.
it was my first ever MAC eyeshadow and i ran right back to urban decay for a good 2 or so years after that! it does not look as pretty when you are wearing it! i can pack it on and get color pay-off but it's still not the same

 

[LipglossLover13]

Beauty marked - eurgh. Just makes my eyes look bruised.

Idol eyes - terrible, low pigmented, sparkly bleh (must have a problem with lustres as im not a big fan of aquadisiac either)

Newly minted - I dont *hate* this eyeshadow, thats unfair, but its so pigmented I dont know what to do with it.

Creme de Violet - Little colour payoff and so hard to blend

ok, granted, beauty marked looks like total sh!+ if you just stick your brush in it and stick it on your face. i totally agree with that. BUT! if you use a black base (i use loreal HIP cream shadow paint in steely), it looks JUST like it does in the container. however, i don't usually use it like this. i use it almost daily with a transformer (i use too faced liquif-eye), as a liquid eyeliner, and it is fierce. its really intense, and has that red-shimmer undertone... i get TONS of compliments on how beautiful my eyes are when i wear beauty marked as a liner. if you have it, and its just sitting around, i would def recommend trying this! you will love your beauty marked again

you won't be regretting that purchase.

also, i would say the only mac shadow that i have that i don't have a good use for is fab n flashy. i really actually have NO IDEA why i ever bought it. not very versatile.

Amen to Warm Chill, Gulfstream, and Cool Heat! Gorgeous shades, but I've worn them once since last summer because the payoff sucks, and once you do get it on, you better hope it's where you want it (especially with Cool Heat) because it's not budging. Boooo!

Try packing Pen N Pink on with the 227 (or similar brush) over Vanilla e/s. It never worked for me until I tried it like that, but now I can use it. Before it was just pink poo.

It's hard to think of a MAC eyeshadow that I hate, but if I had to pick, it would be Bold As Gold from the Fafi Eyes II quad. It's bold as NOTHING.

I had no problem with Gulfstream, which is strange. The entire Cool Heat collection had like, no color payoff whatsoever. Which sucks because the colors were so beautiful.

i second dear cupcake. I hate it and why did i buy it. I look like i have pink eyes. Gross! Quote:

heheh, is it weird that I'm hurt when ppl don't like the eyeshadows I love?? I bought every single eyeshadow that came out with Cool Heat. Blue Flame, Climate Blue, Gulf Stream and Solar White have amazing colour payoff. I use them over Painterly most of the time. Cool Heat e/s has ok payoff but is kinda chalky and Warm Chill has smooth texture but is a very light colour. I wear it over either Cash Flow or Greenstroke and then it's nice...try it

Someone has to yet convince me on Sweet lust. The most useless eyeshadow ever made

why the heck did I buy it??

 

[L1LMAMAJ]

Bronze. After using it more, it makes me look sick and like I was crying. It never seems to blend well either. I realllly wanted to love this.

Nanogold. People look great in it but it never shows up on me.

Trax. It never blends well and doesn't show up. I love how it looks in the pan, though.

This is a p/p but I really hate Bare Study but the girl I sold it to LOVES it so who knows.

I'm sure there's more but I can't think right now.

 

[CellyCell]

NEWLY MINTED!
I like the color but the texture is the worst and I'm a fan of Matte.
I gave it away to my friend and she even said it sucked.

 

[cetati]

I really can't get club or Stars n Rockets to work for me.

 

[lollipop_lovin]

I usually end up loving the eyeshadows I start out hating.
I used to hate Paradisco and Parfait Amour because of their color payoff, but I figured out how to use them. Now I think they have the perfect amount of pigmentation and I wouldn't want them any other way.
But I will always hate Sketch. eww.
