MAC Silver Dawn Extra Dimension Eyeshadow Review & Swatches

Taupe lovers rejoice because MAC Silver Dawn Extra Dimension Eyeshadow ($19.50) is on the case! This delightful gunmetal taupe is available with the MAC Magnetic Nudes Collection that will be launching on Boxing Day (12/26).

Take a peek!

MAC Silver Dawn Extra Dimension Eyeshadow is a delightfully sultry gunmetal taupe. Applied dry it’s a perfect smoky taupe but wet it becomes a bit more silvery with a more dramatic liquid metal foiled finish. I tend to stay away from traditional black smoky eyes and rely on taupe to create a more wearable smoked out eye as taupe doesn’t accentuate my darker circles and finer lines and this is a beautiful shade to work such a look with!

The MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadow is a nice, new take on MAC’s traditional Mineralize Collections. Visually the shadows are really pretty as they have a cool just poured liquid metal into an eyeshadow pot look.

This shade and most Extra Dimension Eyeshadows I’ve tried have a smooth creaminess with the blendability of a liquid and the application of a powder formula. MAC actually created them by blending liquids, powders, pearls, and creams and molding them into a cake formula. The finish has some sparkle but more metal than anything else. You can use them wet or dry and they produce an incredible foiling effect worn wet. They wear quite well wet but dry I’d suggest primer as color loses intensity and fades at around the four to five hour mark. I like the fact they have absolutely no fall out and if I want finger application is easy enough to do!

DO check out Silver Dawn if you’re a taupe fan! I’m positive you’ll adore it!
