MAC Shop Cook Eye Shadow x4 Quads



MAC recently launched their Shop Cook collection which I was really looking forward too especially for the eye shadows quads since I am always such a sucker for them unless all the shadows end up being flops with terrible pigmentation which is always so disappointing but these three seemed really promising and actually all had really good pigmentation there were only a few shadows that were a little difficult to swatch but would still probably apply well on the lid with a primer.


From left to right: Call me Bubbles, Fresh Daisy, Full of Flavour, Brash

Call Me Bubbles:
Call Me Bubbles is a light tan satin
Fresh Daisy is an orange frost
Full of Flavour is a coral matte
Brash is a frost reddish copper veluxe pearl
This was the only quad where I didn’t have any problems swatching any of the shadows, brash applied the best with a creamy soft and smooth opaque coverage and the other three also had great pigmentation making this the best quad out of the bunch performance wise.


From left to right: Sugar Snack, Hypnotizing, Power Boosted, Shop & Drop

Shop & Drop:
Sugar Snack is a light pink matte
Hypnotizing is a frosted greyed mauve frost
Power Boosted is a violet veluxe pearl
Shop & Drop is a deep blue satin
This was my second favorite quad out of the three just because I love purples all the shadows applied well and the textures were soft and smooth but I did have some problems with Sugar Snack the texture felt a bit powdery and was pretty sheer to the point I had problems even trying to layer the shade to build up the color.


From left to right: Laundry Daze, Colour Added, Pre-Packed, Self-Serve

Colour Added:
Laundry Daze is a light yellow satin
Colour Added is a bright yellow veluxe pearl
Pre-Packed is a muted turquoise veluxe pearl
Self-Serve is a deep grey satin
This was definitely my favorite quad out of the three of them mainly because of Pre-Packed; Pre-Packed is an incredibly beautiful color and swatched creamy and buttery, Laundry Daze and Colour Added I found were not as creamy but both swatched soft and smooth, Self-Serve was the only one that I had problems with and had to layer the shade several times just to build up the color.
