MAC Cosmetics Eye Shadow - Omega - Reviews | MakeupAlley (2024)

I wear N3 in MAC Powder + Foundation and this was sooo yellow on me. It looks like a healing black eye, which isn’t a look I’m usually going for. No thank you. UPDATE: Bumping from 2 lippies to 4...

Picked this up at TJ Maxx as an impulse purchase. Wow it is ugly in the pan but if you’re pale like me (NC20), it is the best way to contour your eyes. I apply this in my eye socket then line my...

As others have described it, this MAC eyeshadow is warm taupe that is on the lighter side. I am pale (NC15/N3) and I had read that this was a great contour for lighter skin tones. I use this all...

A pale, warm taupe. It almost has a yellow or olive undertone to it, but still decidedly taupe. (I used to apply eyeshadow to bare eyelids and never liked this shade bc it matched the natural...

I like it to even out my eyelids. My eyelids are the colour of MAC saddle overall, but pink and brown in other areas, I mean overall they are quite dark but uneven, compared to the rest of my...

This is such a workhorse! It matches my eyebrows. It's my go to contour. It fills in my hairline when I don't have bangs. It can look too ashy as an eyeshadow by itself, but it's my go to color...

I'm a dark blond with highlights and I found this to be a bit red and grey on me and darker than what I like in a brow color. It's slightly darker and more red/grey than Anastasia's brow powder in...

Omega. Where have you been all my life? I am a blonde with blonde eyebrows and have been using Anastasia Brow Duo powder in Taupe for the past 3 years. I love it. However, I thought it might...

Five years ago, the MAC sales associate recommended Omega on the lid and Saddle in the outer corner for my wedding. After wearing Omega daily for two years, I wanted to try something new. This...

This shadow was a very pleasant surprise. I was looking for a transition and blending color, and also a shadow that would give a subtle sculpted look when used in the crease. I initially bought...

I don't know what I'd do without Omega! It is my absolute holy grail brow powder (paired with M•A•C Cork for a very slight ombre effect). It is one of the only shadows I'm pretty close to hitting...

This is a cool toned, light brown, matte shade. I use it as a transition color in my crease and sometimes on my eyebrows (I'm a dark blonde/brunette). It's not an essential for me, I could live...

I love this as a crease and outer V color, it blends well and isn't too reddish on my skin. never creases, lasts all day and applies beautifully. I'm nc40 for reference.

This is a good cool toned taupe-ish light brown option for PPP. Light enough to be used all over the lid or a crease. It's also very flattering for hazel eyes and seems to bring out the green!

First off, I should point out that I've never used this product as an eye shadow. It is in no way to my tastes for that purpose. I use it as a contour powder and I adore it. I am extremely pale and...

First of all I don't use this as eyeshadow, I use it as a brow filler. :) I have dark blonde hair and, teamed with Illamasqua's fabulous sealing gel, absolutely perfect to fill in my brows. Matches...
