In my Video Post: MAC Temperature Rising Collection Swatches and Review, I talked about the summer collection of MAC for 2013 that featured metallic shades of eye shadows, bright blushes, dazzle lipsticks and shimmery lipglasses and body oils. I will be dividing my Temperature Rising written reviews according to the products of this collection. For this installment, I'll be talking about the quads.
These eye shadow quads are quite different from the summer eye shadows of past MAC summer collections. As I'd mentioned in my video review, I was glad that MAC didn't give us bright teals and corals for this collection, as I'm totally tealed out when it comes to MAC summer collections. In the past years, we always see a lot of teals, bright pinks and corals in MAC eye shadow collections for summer, but this year, it's all about the metallics which I absolutely love. These are shades that you can totally wear throughout the year, and not just spring and summer.
The first one is called Bare My Soul, and I prefer this one over the other quad called Temperature Rising. Bare My Soul has a lovely shadow in the same name that is a frosted gold. When In Rio is a deep green with copper pearl, Friendly is a deep bronze-chocolate in the veluxe pearl formula, and Romantico is a light taupe bronze also in veluxe pearl. This quad is very versatile and you can change your look from day to night depending on your choice and application of the colors.
Temperature Rising is a mauve-red-purple kind of palette. It has Circus/Performance Art which is a frosted gold mauve, Swelter which is a mid-tone violet, Temperature Rising which is a light warm tanned peach, and Beauty Marked which is a charcoal black with red pearl.
Swatches:
Swelter, Beauty Marked
As I'd mentioned in the video review, I am totally disappointed in Beauty Marked. It's supposed to be blackened red, at least when you look at it in the pan, but it is just your basic black without any hint of red upon application.
Friendly, When in Rio
Friendly, When in Rio
As you can see, the shades of Bare My Soul as metallic but very wearable, and the dark colors are very rich.
Below are screen caps of my Video Review on the MAC Temperature Rising collection, and I used the shadows in the Bare My Soul quad on my eyes. I used Bare My Soul on the lids, then all three other colors in the quad were used on the crease and outer lid.
All in all, I am really liking the shadows in this collection, just because they are not your usual teals and corals from MAC summer collections. I am particularly liking Bare My Soul, which is such a great and versatile quad of metallic and dark crease shades.
Stay tuned for reviews and swatches of the other items from the MAC Temperature Rising collection!
