Palladium is a light ash shade, and doesn't show up that much on my pale olive skin. It would be more apparent on a darker or lighter skintone. I like it nonetheless; it reminds me of the shimmer shade from NARS All About Eve eyeshadow duo, and it makes for a quick shimmery eye that's day appropriate (I've also lined my upper lashes with a grey eye pencil for a bit of definition). I do still find the Gold Carbon more interesting and probably more useful. These do make a good base for powder eyeshadows for a more intense finish.

I really like the effect in the full face picture as it seem quite brightening somehow. I couldn't find them when I was in the MAC Pro store last night. I suspect they were hidden behind a body as it was quite busy.
ReplyDeleteHi MB - they didn't have a separate display for them when I saw them - they were just in a little tray and I had to ask the MA if they had them. It's worth asking if you're near a store soon.
ReplyDeleteI still prefer the Gold Carbon ;)
Ohh I like...Like you said it would be good as a base. I'm trying to find a really strong silver eyeshadow that is bright on indian skin! I do love the Gold Carbon, I'm a sucker for a good M.A.C eyeshadow
ReplyDeleteHello Simderella - you might have a look at Cyber from this line too - it's a stronger, cooler silver shade. Thanks for your comment :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks good on you - I am fairly olive skinned and find I normally need a base before applying these. I will see if I can order some in for the shop - but they are like hens teeth at the moment.

I've always loved Metal-X - it's got a great texture!
ReplyDeleteI always get skin envy when I look at your pics, you do have very lovely even toned skin. The eyeshadow is rather lovely too btw, very subtle but as Jane says nicely brightening!
ReplyDeleteHi Jamilla - the old Metal X got a lot of flack for their creasiness, but I did like the finish. These are definitely drier.
ReplyDeleteHi Ihavemostlybeen - thank you!
