MAC Big Bounce Eyeshadows from Flighty

I love MAC, you know that if you've been here at least once. I've been using it since 1993. I say this as a lead in to the new Big Bounce cream eyeshadows, because it's a rare day when MAC does something that just doesn't seem to work.

It's also been mentioned here many times that I have oily eyelids and major makeup melt , so  keep that in mind. But my fellow blogger Musings of a Muse had many of the same issues on her dry lids.

Big Bounce shadows are a  thin whipped mousse . Swatched on my hand they look glorious and rich in  pigment. On my eyes, both with and without base, I layered and layered ,waiting long for the product to dry in between and still came up with a sheer wash. Now MAC does say that they are sheer washes, buildable to medium. I got the sheer only. And they didn't last much at all,  moved around  the lid and streaked.

The colors here are beautiful  , and  I was excited when I opened the jars even knowing cream shadows rarely work for me ( except Paint Pots, love them and  one by Shu Uemura).

That said, The Mom used one , with her UD base and got more color than I did. She has oily lids too,  but definitely had better results.

So if you're jonesing to try Big Bounce ,  maybe get the SA to test them on you first for a trial  run.
