Rose Lens
MAC Rose Lens 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. I used to be not impressed by the formulation 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 formulation 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.
The one factor that saved this palette from dropping into the D-rating vary is that MAC solely made an eight-hour put on time declare (whereas most manufacturers aren’t particular, so 8 hours of damage usually garners 8.5/10 ranking, and right here 8-hour put on could be 10/10).

Components Overview

MAC describes their newest formulation as “one-swipe, pure pigment payoff” with a “light-weight, silky-smooth texture” that has eight-hour put on (properly, at the least they’re reasonable!). They really state that the formulation has “as much as 25% larger pigment load.” Cannot say that appeared true in follow, although.
The brand new formulation is thinner, extra powdery or drier, and fewer pigmented than prior MAC formulation, which have been inconsistent at greatest in the previous few years. The matte shades had been semi-opaque to opaque, usually buildable, and pretty blendable, whereas the shimmers had been drier with poor adhesion, fallout, and had been significantly liable to fading.
Prior to now, typically MAC’s formulation did not swatch in addition to it carried out, typically being a very buildable and blendable formulation with out being powdery, however I didn’t discover efficiency to be higher than swatches and it was typically slightly worse. In a time when so many manufacturers are pushing metallics to the following stage by way of depth, it’s fascinating to see MAC’s shimmers worsen over time — they usually do not seem to be they’re really attempting to go for a extra satin-like sheen, they’re simply… weak metallics.
A few of the mattes lasted so long as eight hours on me, whereas some had been nearer to 6 to seven hours. A lot of the shimmers lasted six hours on me with a pair lasting longer and shorter.
