Hello, lovelies! Happy Friday! Throughout the course of this year I want to individually review my favorite MAC eyeshadows. I've swatched some in the past in my New MAC Palette and MAC Neutral Palette posts but my Neutral Palette post is so old! I would love to redo it with better pictures. Anyways, I won Steamy from the lovely Natalie during a giveaway. Here are my thoughts on it:
Color
I would describe Steamy as a turquoise/teal. It's such a pretty color! I love it because it's a bit icy but it still looks good with my brown eyes and warm skin. I think that icy greens that lean too much towards blue look terrible on me.
Texture
Steamy has a frost finish. It's soft and easy to work with but not as buttery as a veluxe pearl or as my other MAC frosts (like Cranberry or Sumptuous Olive).
Formula
Steamy has a very good color payoff. It's pigmented, vibrant, and lasts long on the eyes even without a primer.
Overall
I adore this color! It's not extremely unique so I'm sure other brands might have something like this, but it's still a great addition to my collection. Steamy is very frosty so it's eye-catching and fun to wear. In the eye look above I paired it with liquid liner and MAC's Swiss Chocolate on the crease.
I prefer this eyeshadow over Shimmermoss. Great review.
ReplyDeleteI don't own Shimmermoss but it seems quite similar xx

This seems like a really pigmented and lovely colour. I've never bought a mac eye shadow but I've heard great things about them! I'd be really interested to see a blog post on how to make eyeshadows like this one wearable with everyday clothes :) xx

Although I've only using this particular eyeshadow during the nighttime, I'm usually never afraid of colors during the daytime. I use clothes that are in the same color family but I don't match my eyeshadow to my outfit xx
DeleteI love this colour. It's beautiful! Love wearing greens in this shade :)

Oh I really like this! I am just starting to get into MAC and loving all the awesome colour options!
ReplyDeleteI have this and I quite like it!
ReplyDeleteLove the color! It reminds me a little of Flipside from Urban Decay, though I think Flipside is a little more on the green side.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to review them all :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous colour!!

ReplyDeleteI love the look you created at the end! looks really nice :) I love this kind of colour, must check it out next time i'm at Mac :D xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous color. I have great appreciation for teal.
ReplyDeleteYou can pull off literally every shade. It always looks amazing. And this is no exception :)
ReplyDeleteI love Steamy and I can't wait to buy and try it out! It looks lovely on you xx
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love when a colored shadow is muted a bit to make it way more wearable! The swatch on your finger sold me on this and I'm gonna check it out next time I'm at MAC :)

Very pretty, I'm not a big fan of turquoise or light blue eyeshadows as I find them kind of tacky but this one looks nice x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous color! I love brown eyes with green shades, looks lovely :)

I love steamy! Sometimes I need to pack color on my lid with a stiffer brush, though.
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing colour!!

This colour looks stunning on you! I need to be a bit braver with my eyeshadow colours, would love to be able to pull off a gorgeous shade like this x

Steamy was one of my first MAC eye shadows years ago and I still love it! The perfect turquoise to blend in with browns (as you did!)- adds a pop of colour without being too vibrant, so it's surprisingly wearable. Glad you're loving it! :)
