Totally my style! I am fair with dyed black hair and a golden undertone and this shadow paired with nude lips and bottom black liner makes me feel like a badass. To get it pigmented I use a pigment...

Bitter is a gorgeous vibrant matte neon yellow green IN THE PAN & SWATCHED ON THE FINGER TIPS. However, on the lid it doesn't even show up you literally have dig tons of product on the brush (which...

This is an ok color, it's pigmented yes, but it's a weird mix of green and yellow. I like it, and I'll use it for spring type looks, but It's not a color I'm going to run out of any time soon.

Bitter is a nice apple green eyeshadow in the pan... However on my lids in tends to look quite yellow. It`s pretty sheer so I recommend using it with a wet brush for maximum color payoff. I...

I am bitter about Bitter. Bitter is the "special" half-cousin of Rated R. No, Bitter is the pathetic protégé of Eyepopping. Or, it is the inbred love-child of Rated R and Eyepopping--you know,...

I bought this primarily to use with Wondergrass because on its own, this is sheer. It looks great when applied as a secondary color, but on its own it is a sheer Mountain Dew-colored wash. I love...

I was super excited to get this eyeshadow. I thought that it was going to be really bright and vibrant. Sadly, it was not. I find it really difficult to work with. Even getting it on the brush is a...

I really love this color - I've noticed with some other reviews it's either a love it or hate it situation but I love how it adds just the right amount of pop to my eyes. On my skin tone (I'm an...

I am very disappointed in Bitter. It's a shocking yellow-green in the pan, and being MAC, I expected crazy shocking colour on my lids. But it actually has very poor colour payoff, it's impossible...

I love this color, but I wouldn't buy it again. I really had to work to find colors to go with it so it would work for me, and I don't reach for it too often because of this. Its a very vibrant...

I think the pigmentation/color payoff on this shadow is awesome, I'm not sure why it didn't work for other people. I use a medium flat eyeshadow brush from Sephora and press and hold it in place....

I think Katy Perry used this in the 'Hot n Cold' video. It's a funky eyeshadow- when I saw it I just had to buy it. It's one to be creative with. The photo posted to show the eyeshadow here is...

Dreadful. No pigment, really hard formula that doesn't pick up on a brush, wet or dry. Pack it on and still no colour, two hours later it won't be there at all. MAC should do a product recall on...

This is one of my favorite shades of green so I was attracted to an eyeshadow in that colour. Sadly, I'm not a huge fan. Even with a good eye primer, and a white base underneath it it still doesn't...

This works well with my hazel eyes and nw20 skin, but only because my look is more eccentric. It works well with a heavy eye over a good base, but I also like it really subtly in outer corners of...

After having this color for many years, and even repurchasing it 2 other times, this cannot work for me. No matter what base, mixing medium, or brush I use, there is no payoff. The texture is...

MAC Bitter is completely vibrant, and IMO, a very insane shade that almost borders on being obnoxious and garish. Even being warm toned, I find this a hard shade to wear because being a velvet, it...
