When it comes to eye shadow, picking the right one is extremely important. In the beauty industry eye shadows can range from $1 to $40 for one color. How do you know which one is good? From past experience, I think the best eye shadows are the ones that stay on and have a lot of pigment. MAC eyeshadow is the perfect candidate for good eye shadow at its price. Many people may think that MAC is quite expensive but it is reasonable. It is packed with a lot of pigment and lasts a long time on the eyes. The color comes on rich and the stores have many colors to choose from. I have used other brands of eye shadow that work well with a lot of pigment such as Urban Decay and Makeup Forever. However, their single color eye shadow run from $18-$20 versus MAC's eye shadw for $14.50.
Some tips: Adding primer such as MAC's "paint" will enhance and make eye shadow last even longer! If you want to save moeny you can buy the palette refills. They are the same size as the regular eye shadow except it doesn't come in a case. You can buy a pallette and in time it pays for itself because you just refill it. Also, MAC has a Back-to-MAC program. By returning six primary packaging containers you'll receive a free MAC lipstick of your choice (and for MAC stores you can choose a lipstick, clear or tinted lip gloss or eyeshadow).
