MAC Eyeshadows Decoded

MAC Eyeshadows Decoded

By Anita Matte

Here is the last installation of my three–part MAC finishes guide. Since I did the different finishes and types of lip gloss and lipstick from MAC Cosmetics, I decided that I would also explain all of the different finishes for their amazing eye shadows.

Frost: An iridescent shine that adds a highlight to any colour.
Lustre: Smoothly pearlized; intensely frosted with deluxe ultra-fine "conditioned" finish.
Matte: Hi–colour pay–off in a no–shine matte finish.
Matte2: Intense, opaque matte finish with exceptionally rich colour pay–off.
Satin: Pure colour in a satin–style finish. Provides a soft subtle non–frost, light–refractive sheen. 

Veluxe: Superfine pigment rich and very luxe. Supple to apply. Provides silky smooth matte finish.
Veluxe Pearl: Vibrantly–toned, velvety soft, shimmering metallic. Veluxe eyeshadow, now overlaid with high-shine pearl.
Velvet: Soft looking finish with high–colour intensity. Has a plush velvety look and feel.
Starflash: Starflash is a"creamy" powder with a smooth application and a pearlized, medium buildable coverage.
