What's the WiFi

MAC What’s the WiFi Eyeshadow ($17.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a bright, lime green with moderate, warm undertones paired with a matte finish. The eyeshadow had nearly opaque color payoff that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out nicely along the edges without sheering out too readily.

The texture was lightly powdery, so it was more sensitive to natural oils or dampness on the skin, which means you’ll want to apply to drier skin and/or over primer to ensure it doesn’t darken (and look a bit yellower), but it was blendable and wasn’t prone to sheering out too readily. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours and left a faint, yellowy stain behind.

Mint Condition

MAC Mint Condition Eyeshadow ($17.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a minty green with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage without having to use a primer, which was nice.

The texture was on the more powder side and felt slightly drier to the touch, though it wasn’t as thin nor as firmly-pressed as a lot of MAC matte eyeshadows have been in the past, so it was more blendable but had a smidgen of fallout. It lasted nicely for eight hours on me before fading a bit.

Stormwatch

MAC Stormwatch Eyeshadow ($17.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark blue-teal with cool undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft, lightly powdery (but not prone to fallout or sheering out) with a more substantial feel to it; the texture was more giving, more powdery than the typical MAC matte eyeshadow.

It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly and maintained its intensity, but it was a little harder to diffuse and blend out. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Triennial Wave

MAC Triennial Wave Eyeshadow ($17.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a brighter, cyan blue with cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had good pigmentation in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The texture was soft and finely-milled to the touch, but it was slightly powdery, which resulted in a little bit of fallout.

I felt like it was less powdery than the last version I tried, so it was generally improved but didn’t feel substantially different (the press seemed firmer). It stayed on well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Power to the Purple

MAC Power to the Purple Eyeshadow ($17.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark purple with cooler undertones and a matte finish. Against all odds, it had great color payoff in a single layer, and it was buildable to full coverage. The texture felt smooth to the touch, a bit more substantial, though not quite as velvety or as soft compared to some of the other revamped matte shades.

The color applied fairly evenly to bare skin but the edges took more effort to diffuse and soften, so I’d recommend going very light-handed along the edge or using a completely clean brush to diffuse the edges. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.
