MAC Supernatural Dazzle: Dazzleshadows in It’s All About Shine, Shine De-Light, Oh So Gilty, Dazzle Style, Dreamy Beams and Midnight Shine

March 30th, 2018 by Karen 14 Comments

Dazzling you, one shadow at a time…

Hey, if this were like an Internet spelling ? bee, and we had to spell Dreamy Beams, which is the Dazzleshadow from MAC that I’m super in love with right now, it would be spelled D-R-E-A-M-Y B-E-A-M-Z. But maybe with two Zs — NO, THREE Zs! Beamzzz. Then you’d be the the legit Internet spelling bee winner with your three crazy Zs. ?

I’m wearing Dreamy Beams, a beautiful bronzed brown with a squeeze of purple, on my lids today and thinking that I need to wear it every day for perhaps the next two months! It’s one of the new $18 Dazzleshadows from the MAC Supernatural Dazzle collection, which quietly dropped on MAC counters and the MAC website a few weeks ago.

There are a bunch of these glittery eyeshadow singles, some Dazzleglass glosses as well, all being added to the MAC permanent line. Some of the shades are new, some are re-promotes… Among the Dazzleshadow eyeshadows, there are six new ones, and I have five swatched here. Beamy Dreams… HAHAHA! Dreamy Beams is one of the new ones, and it’s the most swoon-y to me, although there are several that make me fall out of my flip-flops, like moody Midnight Shine, a dark plummy purple.

These aren’t like the UD Moondusts at all, even though they look similar in the pans. I love the Moondusts, but they’re sheerer than these are, and the glitter bits are bigger, so I think of them more as glitter top coats. Like, if you already have your eyes done on Friday night, and you’re about to leave the house but you want a little something extra, you tap a Moondust on your lids.

On the other hand, you can build an eye look around a single Dazzleshadow. You don’t need to apply them on top of something else because they have a pigmented base, so they can stand alone.

The Dazzleshadows are soft and creamy powders (they almost feel wet) with dainty, delicate flecks of glitter that say, “Hey, I’m fun!” without flashing it on a big neon sign above your head, so they’re sparkly AND super wearable.

See? Not too crazy! The cheeks are Melon Pink (MAC Padma), and the lips are MAC Skew (Throwback).

Of course, they are glitters, so there’s a little fallout, but it’s not even enough to make it “a thing.” You won’t have to do very much cleanup.

When I wear these, I don’t like to take them too far up my lids because they start to look a little crazy, so I’ll stop just short of my crease, then sweep a matte in there (I’m wearing MAC Kid here). When I wear Dreamy Beams, I’ll also line my lash and water lines with something like MAC Prunella, but any basic brown or black works, too.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Happy Good Friday! ?

    I like Dreamy Beams and Midnight Shine. But I don’t feel the need to run out and buy these.

        Yes, I’m back. Well my body is back, my brain is somewhere else. Super jet-lagged and I caught a virus the last day we were there. Already, missing Tokyo, the lovely people there and the incredible food.
        I hope you have a wonderful Easter with your family.

      Hi Savannah,

      I love that one as an inner corner highlight! I think it would also be gorgeous placed on the center of the lids in a halo eye look. The Dazzleglasses are SO underrated, IMHO. Total sleeper heroes from the line!

    Midnight Shine looks beautiful, the others are pretty too, but don’t excite me.

      You gotta see them in person! I think your mind will change when you see them dazzling in the light.

    Hi Karen – have you ever worked with glitter glue? I saw these dazzlers online the other day and was wondering if glue was needed. I have not tried glitter glue for fear it will be like taking off glitter nail polish, but am interested!

      Hi Mary Ann,

      I have used Too Faced’s glitter glue before with other products, but I don’t think it’s necessary with the Dazzleshadows. They do a bang up job of sticking to the lids on their own, or with a primer. I’ve been using the MAC Prep + Prime 24HR eye primer with these and have been super happy with the wear time. No creasing at all! And flaking off of the tiny glitter pieces.

      Do you have an eye primer that you like? I think as long as you have that underneath, you’ll be fine.

      Isn’t it though? I need to stop wanting to spell it with a z. BEAMZ.

      I hope you’re doing well and that you had a good week. 🙂 What’s the plan for the weekend?

    I love the way Dreamy beams looks on your lids, I think I need some of these. And I’m curious to know what shine de-light and dreamy beams would look like layered… I have an excuse to head to the mall again!!!

    Hi Karen thank you for swatching these. I have a girlfriend whose birthday is coming up and I might get her the Midnight Shine since purple is her favorite color. The glitter in the Dazzleshadows and look perfect and not too ostentatious for *ahem* mature women like me and my friend.

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
