These shadows all are formulated very nicely, but you will need to pack on Concrete a little more than the average MAC shadow in order for it to be completely opaque. I feel these are great staples whether you are a makeup artist with a makeup studio, or a mother with a small makeup bag that only holds the necessities. All three of them are some of the very first MAC eyeshadows I have ever owned. These are all shadows that see much love from me, and that I have owned for a very long time.

Brown Down gives it a more brown smokey feel, while Concrete makes it look more like a classic smokey eye.

In my June favorites video, I mentioned my ‘Lazy Girl Look of the Month.’ It just happens to be a combo of these three eyeshadows! I will pat Mulch all over my lid space, and then take either Brown Down or Concrete into my crease. This is one of my all time favorite crease colors! $14.50 This eyeshadow is fairly pigmented, but isn’t completely opaque. On my skin tone, this eyeshadow reads more as a brown-grey, not a true taupe.

Concrete is described as a ‘muted taupe brown’ with a satin finish.
