Review; MAC Trio 1 (LE)

Trio 1 (Heatherette)

OK, I thought I would love this, and in the palette the colours look awesome, especially mood ring. However I dislike the textures even though I like frost and veluxe pearl (Hoppin’ Frost, Mood Ring Veluxe pearl, Cloudburst velvet) I found all these shadows too powdery and not pigmented enough. The pink came up as just invisible powder on my face, the mint green I had to pile on to get it to show up, and the black one was so powdery it went everywhere however the colour was very pigmented. These were so hard to work with that the look just did not come out right. I’ve given up on it, which is a massive shame.

Although I don’t normally like the textures (Royal Tour satin, Dame’s Desire frost, Climate Blue velvet) they really worked on my lid, it was really easy to use, and the colours go so well together, however they are different enough to obviously stand out against each other. I much prefer these to mattes but they still have a matte effect. I like this trio more then I thought I would.
