MAC Summer Stash Crushed Metallic Pigment Stack Review, Swatch

Decription :
The full stack includes 4 crushed metal pigments. I have only two of the 4. But when you purchase it, you’d get a stack of 4 not two. Here is how the full stack looks.
Price : Rs 2050

Light pink champagne (Frost)
Light white pearl (Frost)
Light violet with silver pearl (Frost)
Brown bronze with gold pearl (Frost)
Crushed Metal pigments are are part of upcoming Collection by MAC – Surf Baby. These are a stack of metallic pigments. They are high shine pigments, which give almost a foiled effect on lids when applied with a wet brush. I have used the lighter shade in the inner corner of my lids in my eye makeup look HERE
The lighter shade comes out as silvery champagne with very high metallic finish. Looks beautiful as a inner corner highlighter. Totally makes your eyes look awake.
This one is a light coppery color with high silver frost. (Don’t get confused by the color in jar and swatch. The colors in more concentrated form in jar so are looking darker than how they apply in actual)
Swatches : left (copper silver), right Champagne silver
Like and Dislikes :
- Very very strongly pigmented and if you like to play with high shine colors, these are nice.
- Can be used for various things- for eye makeup, for highlighting the face, body. I am planning to make nail paint out of one of them, let’s see how it goes. 🙂
- These can be used both wet and dry. However I personally found them a little messy to work with when used dry because these pigments are so closely packed that a teeny bit of color gives such a chunky finish. And these tend to fly so it gets difficult to remove the fall out especially if you have done your face makeup already. When applied wet, they work just fine.
- These go on evenly both wet and dry.
- Very long lasting. The shine is maintained for good 4-5 hours and they don’t tend to disappear until your remove them.
- You have to be careful working with these. I pick up color only from the lid and that does the job. You can easily go overboard with these.
- Come in easy to carry stackable jars.

i love the way you review each and everyone of the products. can these be used as blushes or lippies as well?
Aruna, you can use these on cupid’s bow or may be just on the center of the lower lip. it gives the illusion of fuller lips. 🙂 and for cheeks they look really nice as highlighters when applied on top part of the cheekbones. 🙂
these would be great highlighters! I agree with you..def not everyone’s cup of tea, need to be extremely careful or else would end up looking like disco ball :stars:
I loved the way u used it as a highlghter in your tutorial..really open’s up the eye :thumbsup:
highlighters for the cheeks too?..maybe just a dab on the cheek bones to give it a shine or a warm glow
yeah aruna. :))
thank you parita. :))
Looks delicious Rati :toothygrin:
I dont think I would ever try these (just because i am not sure if i could ever get it right) but I love reading and enjoying the pictures that you post.
It reminds me of Bournvita :toothygrin: As a kid I used to eat bournvita (as is) in a small cup…these jars reminded me of that
now that you have mentioned ,it does look like bornvita :lol2:
I really can’t workout frosty colors on me.. have to learn them 😛

You no want good piccys :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug:
though i stay away from frost finishes else where on my face… i jut love it on my eyes… it gives sucha pop to my jet black eyes ;p
are u using these separate lenses which blur the space behind ur subject?
nahin i am not using separate lenses neha. same camera wala lens. bt i plan to buy some lenses soon. :))
haan these frosty shades look lovely on the inner corners. i tried all over the lid also to see how they work bt i guess these are best bet for highlighting;. 🙂
hahaha somehow i like em all over lids… 😐 😐 😐 actualy not all over.. just above lashline area.. much below the crease…
haan sometimes that works. infact when used wet na they give that foiled effect. rock chic kinds. 😀 😀
I am very bad in makeup since have not used it all these years 😛 this looks so good
Rati, some time when you get free plz do a tutorial on different ways of using the pigments :))
