It had a smooth and soft texture which didn’t felt firmly press in the pan and applied and adhered well on the lid. It’s a permanent shade and was fairly pigmented up to a medium coverage in a single pass. Tilt is a light blue-green with cool undertones and a pearl frost finish. I got around six and a half hours wear before it started to fade.
Keep in mind the Lustre formula doesn’t deliver intense pigmentation and full opacity thought. I tried applying it using my fingers but still got a semi-sheer pigmentation which can’t be built up to a more intense color actually. It also tended to sheer out when blended and looked patchy and a bit uneven. The best way to pick up the product and apply it is by using a damp flat brush and just gently pat it onto the lid.
It is a permanent shade last featured in MAC El Seed Cicero Eyeshadow Palette but in Now & Zen palette the formula seems very thin and prone to fall out during the application.Įven thought the texture is very soft and creamy, it kicks off a lot of powder in the pan and doesn’t evenly across the lid. Honey Lust is a soft, light bronze peach with more sparkling finish than luster. I had around eight hours wear with it before starting to crease slightly. The texture felt dense and firm but adhered well and blended easily across the lid. It had a good pigmentation with a brighter and more metallic light kinda of finish. Phloof! is a light but bright pink-white with very subtle warm undertones and a frosted sheen. MAC Now & Zen 9 x Eyeshadow Palette Lunar New Year 2020 Shade by Shade Review To me personally the overall packaging looks cheap, is the same old MAC Cosmetics 9 pan eyeshadow compact which desperately needs an upgrade. The dark olive green compact has a magnetic closure and this colorful pattern on top which definitely attracts attention.
Not all the eyeshadows perform well but I was impressed by those who didn’t swatch so well on my hand but they applied and blended easily on the lid. Overall there is a nice palette of pastels and light colors for spring, but quite easy dupable. That’s why I didn’t want to buy this palette because I owned some of the shades in the past as singles and still have them in other palettes. The palette is considered limited edition because of the packaging and the combination of shades put together.īasically there are no new shades in this palette, because they are all existing permanent shades and repromotes and this is disappointing but also a common thing among MAC launches.
MAC Now & Zen 9 x Eyeshadow Palette ($33.00 / £28.00 for 5.85 g / 0.20 oz) is 9 pan pastel eyeshadow palette with lustre, veluxe pearl and matte. I addressed the mixed up order on my IGTV video but MAC UK customer service handled everything so smoothly and I got sent my order while I was allowed to keep this palette as well.
