Not bad in quality, but highly overrated. A majority of people don't realize that there are plenty of professional makeup companies that sell far better eyeshadows, and at cheaper prices to boost. What makes MAC stand out? Well, it's easily accessible. MAC has done very well marketing-wise and in catering to the general population. If you want to make the effort to order better eyeshadows online, I'd rec looking into brands like Yaby and Nixie. Makeup artists for runways, shows, magazines, and everything in between work these eyeshadows like the average woman works MAC ones ;). With that said, MAC e/s are quite vibrant and boast better wear (how well and how long it stays on) than most drugstore ones.
