MAC Havana Extra Dimension Eye Shadow Review

Skin Tone- Medium, NC42, warm undertones
Staying away from Mac is a difficult task for me. I love Mac and that is no surprise anymore but this time I picked something that made me fall in love all over again. The extra dimension eye shadows are the gorgeous to say the least and I ended up picking 2 beautiful shades from the whole range. Here is my review on Havana, review of Stolen Moment coming up soon.

My Experience with MAC Havana Extra Dimension Eye Shadow:

The shadow comes in little round pots with a clear lid. The cap shuts with a click and hence it can be travelled with easily. The details about the product are mentioned on the outer paper carton. The shadows come with some textured designs which look glamorous but sadly with usage it will get flattened out.
packaging

The textures of the shadows are a delight to work with. There is minimal to no fall out when you pat on the shadow with a placement brush or fingertips. I would say the pigmentation is definitely better when used wet but even with a regular brush on primed lids, the shadows look absolutely wonderful. I am so impressed with the formula that I might end up picking more shades from the range. They are easy to work with and blend seamlessly with minimum effort.
name

Mac describes Havana as “dirty copper brown” and very apt description I would say. It can be a lovely overall shade for those who stay away from shadows fearing the mixing of colors. This muted gorgeousness adds to the richness of the shade and it doesn’t look tacky/cheap at all.

It stayed on my lids till I removed it. There is a bit of fading after 6 -7 hours, without primer, but nothing bothersome. I have normal eyelids so with a primer underneath it would definitely stay longer. Thankfully the shimmers do not travel here and there making me look like a disco ball after sometime. Once you place it on the lid, it stays on like an obedient child.
