MAC Metal-X Cream Eyeshadows

Tired of the same old matte eyeshadow tones? Then try some creamy metallic finish ones instead, courtesy of MAC Cosmetics. Select your favorite tones from the nine alternatives included in the latest Metal X collection.

You can never have too many collections in one season. The well known philosophy that MAC Cosmetics has adopted over the years is once again successfully applied for a new eyeshadow collection called Metal-X Cream Eyeshadows. Although Metal-X eyeshadows were released in 2007, the new formulations of the eyeshadows aim to drastically improve quality.

Apparently, the brand's strategy is to make the most of one launch, given the fact that they scheduled the Metal-X collection in the same day with the recently presented Daphne Guinness for MAC collection. This means that the collection will be launched on Boxing Day, December 26 in North America while internationally, in January 2012.

Going from fairly soft and innocent to more dramatic and flirty, the nine versatile eyeshadows will instantly add a luxurious touch to get you to stand out. Metallics have gained a lot of popularity in recent seasons as brands like Giorgio Armani have offered products like Eyes To Kill that were recently updated. Update your eyeshadow collection with these high shine, elegant metallic tones:

Virgin Silver - White with silver pearl

Fusion Gold - Light pinky beige with gold pearl

Palladium - Metallic ash

Cyber - Metallic silver with silver pearl

Rusty - Dirty peach gold

Red Hot Copper - Warm copper

Venetian Tarnish - Golden tarnished bronze

Vintage Coin - Metallic olive green

Gold Carbon- Metallic taupe
