This is most likely as close as I’m going to get to sci-fi makeup this week. They’re the new MAC Spellbinder Shadows, as well as they have magnetized bits — which is odd as well as freaky as well as cool.

I held a paper clip above one of the pots, as well as you can see the bits cling to it…

I gotta say, though…I expected these to be much easier to work with than MAC’s other loose pigments since of the whole magnetic action, however they aren’t. When I did this look, I got shadow around the location — around my desk, around my hands, around my face.

I must not have done my foundation first; it took a while to clean whatever up…

But you do get high-wattage, incredibly dramatic, incredibly frosty drama with these, as well as exceptionally enough, they don’t highlight my fine lines. If you want your eyes to shimmer from a mile away, these are fantastic for that.

Interestingly, as well as I’m not sure why this is, these are simple to blend into each other however tough to blend as well as buff apart. Like, in the look I’m using right here with several shades, getting one of the colors to merge into the next barely needed any type of blending work, however when I tried one more look with just one of the shades, I couldn’t effectively buff out the edges.

MAC does suggest that you utilize a primer under these, as well as I absolutely agree. I tried them both with as well as without, as well as with a primer, the shadows used smoothly. primer absolutely makes them much easier to work with.

If you don’t utilize a primer with them as well as have any type of unevenness or dry patches on your lids, brace yourself, since these might get skippy.

Also, I have this water line sensitivity issue… I don’t understand if “sensitivity” is the ideal word, however often when I wear specific eye products, my water lines feel dry.

My eyes don’t water, feel itchy or turn red, however I can feel when the skin is dry. Unfortunately, these do that with me. I don’t understand if it’s just something with my eyes, however I feel it when I wear these shadows, as well as I don’t always feel it when I wear eyeshadow in general.

It’s not a deal-breaker, though. I still like exactly how these look as well as exactly how they don’t highlight my fine lines (yay!). I just have to be cautious exactly how long I wear them.
