Continuing with the wonderful shades of eye shadow by MAC here is the review on the shade Rich Core from the Extra Dimension Eye Shadow range. All the shades in this range are great in terms of texture and formulation and I have only good things to say about these.

Price – Rs 1500/- for 1.3gm
Product Description:
A hybrid shadow that’s smooth like a cream, blendable like a liquid and finishes like a powder.
In Extra Dimension eye shadow is a modern hybrid formula that combines the smoothness of a cream, the blendability of a liquid and the finish of a powder with long-wearing colour and prismatic reflections. Its creamy silky near fluid formula creates luminous well defined eyes in finishes from sheer crystallized light to stunning metallic.

My Experience with MAC Rich Core 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.

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.

Rich Core is described as “Dirty aubergine” by MAC which I feel is quite an apt description of the shade. I really like this particular shade as such shades are glam yet wearable. The shimmers add to the beauty of the shade and doesn’t move all over the face with time. Depending on the occasion, the intensity of the shade can be played with as these are great both as dry and wet. It can be played up or down depending on the occasion and the mood but in both ways it would definitely be the focus of the whole makeup look.

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 forever.

Pros of MAC Rich Core Extra Dimension Eye Shadow:

• Cute packaging (can be de-potted as well).
• Lovely shade.
• Would suit all skin tones.
• Can be used wet and dry.
• No fall out.
• Blends like dream.
• Stays long.
• No creasing.
