MAC x Stranger Things Eyeshadow Palette

Hawkins Class of 1986

The MAC Hawkins Class of 1986 Eyeshadow x 8 Palette is a newer, limited edition palette with three matte and five shimmer hues. Unfortunately, the shimmer formula was thicker and harder, making it difficult to apply on the lid, and several of them seemed to lose their shimmer/shine within minutes after application. The mattes were soft and blendable, albeit a little powdery at times.

Dingus

Dingus is a yellowy gold with slight warm undertones and a glossy luster. The product appeared metallic, but the finish seemed prone to fade to something more like to a satin or pearl sheen after a few minutes.

Opaque color coverage
Moderately dense, somewhat thick texture that was stiffer
Doesn’t pick up evenly with brush, best applied with fingertips
Harder to blend edges of darker shades due to texture
Average-wearing (seven to eight hours of wear, prone to fading)

Palace Arcade

Palace Arcade is a medium purple with delicate, warm undertones and a satin finish. It seemed more metallic in the pan but faded to a more satin-like finish on the skin.
