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 coloration story. I used to be not impressed by the formulation used for the brand new Join in Color palettes because the shimmers have been dry, skinny, dusty, and/or powdery with sheer protection and poor longevity, whereas the mattes have been higher, they weren’t as blendable as they might (or ought to!) have been. The brand new formulation is meant to have “one-swipe” pigmentation and they’re being offered as VERY pigmented eyeshadows, but three shimmers have been very, very weak eyeshadows… interval.

Method 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 (nicely, at the very least they’re lifelike!). They really state that the formulation has “as much as 25% larger pigment load.” Cannot say that appeared true in observe, 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 have been semi-opaque to opaque, usually buildable, and pretty blendable, whereas the shimmers have been drier with poor adhesion, fallout, and have been notably susceptible to fading.
Previously, generally MAC’s formulation did not swatch in addition to it carried out, usually 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 usually a bit of worse. In a time when so many manufacturers are pushing metallics to the subsequent degree by way of depth, it’s attention-grabbing to see MAC’s shimmers worsen over time — they usually do not seem to be they’re truly attempting 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 have been nearer to 6 to seven hours. Many of the shimmers lasted six hours on me with a pair lasting longer and shorter.
