Embedded Burgundy
MAC Embedded Burgundy Join in Color 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($34.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a brand new, everlasting six-pan palette that included two matte shades and 4 shimmers in a rose-toned shade story. I used to be not impressed by the components used for the brand new Join in Color palettes because the shimmers had been dry, skinny, dusty, and/or powdery with sheer protection and poor longevity, whereas the mattes had been higher, they weren’t as blendable as they may (or ought to!) have been. The brand new components is meant to have “one-swipe” pigmentation and they’re being bought as VERY pigmented eyeshadows, but three shimmers had been very, very weak eyeshadows… interval.

Components Overview

MAC describes their newest components as “one-swipe, pure pigment payoff” with a “light-weight, silky-smooth texture” that has eight-hour put on (nicely, at the least they’re real looking!). They really state that the components has “as much as 25% greater pigment load.” Cannot say that appeared true in observe, although.
The brand new components is thinner, extra powdery or drier, and fewer pigmented than prior MAC formulation, which have been inconsistent at finest in the previous couple of years. The matte shades had been semi-opaque to opaque, sometimes buildable, and pretty blendable, whereas the shimmers had been drier with poor adhesion, fallout, and had been significantly vulnerable to fading.
Up to now, generally MAC’s components did not swatch in addition to it carried out, typically being a very buildable and blendable components with out being powdery, however I didn’t discover efficiency to be higher than swatches and it was typically a bit of worse. In a time when so many manufacturers are pushing metallics to the subsequent stage when it comes to depth, it’s attention-grabbing to see MAC’s shimmers worsen over time — and so they do not seem to be they’re truly making an attempt to go for a extra satin-like sheen, they’re simply… weak metallics.
A number of the mattes lasted so long as eight hours on me, whereas some had been nearer to 6 to seven hours. Many of the shimmers lasted six hours on me with a pair lasting longer and shorter.
