Bamboo is the most amazing warm transition shade for fair skin. This is a matte shadow with great payoff. It's not the creamiest matte ever but it's still very blendable, buildable, and smooth. ...

A matte orange-peach, blatantly warm toned eyeshadow that is a suitable blending or lid shadow for me. I've loved it since the first time I've applied it, and have now stored it in my everyday...

Bamboo is one of my favorite eyeshadows for my blue-green, deepset eyes and I've purchased it many times over the years. I will go so far as to say it's my holy grail eyeshadow. The warm, light...

This is my go to transition shade to put in my crease. I normally go for brown neutral looks. This shadow is blendable and very pigmented and suits my complexion better the Soft Brown. I don't hear...

So far, I'm really liking this eyeshadow. I find it to be a very good crease color/blending color. It's also good for a touch of warmth. It's similar to "Kid" in my opinion, just not pink toned....

Every woman NEEDS a matte eyeshadow that is literally the exact color of their skin tone. This allows a perfect base for a neutral eye and helps makes other layers of eyeshadows blend so much...

This shade is sooooo nice! It's a light warm brown matte shade. I use this to blend colors in my crease or use it as a crease color too. It's so versatile and the color payoff is great. If you're...

I went into Mac looking to create a soft yet sculpted eye look - essentially to look like a naked eye but better. I love neutrals on my eyes because I have blue eyes and especially for my work...

Wow! Bamboo has already leapfrogged to the top of my repurchase MAC core colors list and I've only owned it 3 days. Lest you think I'm jumping the gun, I should add I've been searching for a...

I had no luck with this. I really wanted to like this because I like matte neutral eyeshadows, but when I applied Bamboo, even with a primer, it looked like I never put any eyeshadow on at all.

I really want to like this color, but it does not show up on me at all. I am a NC 45 and when applied to my lids it looks as though I have nothing there. I was looking for the perfect lid color...

This is a really nice nude/beige with slight peach undertones that is pigmented and has a smooth buttery texture. I find Bamboo to be quite versatile as I can use it as a lid colour, in the crease,...

I LOVE this shade! Can't say enough about it. It's an absolutely perfect all-over-the-lid color for a soft professional neutral eye. I pair it with Saddle for a clean smokey eye or wear it with...

I didn't think I would like this colour looking at it in the pan, but once one applied it transforms into a beautiful, soft golden-beige peach. However, I do think this is the kind of colour that...

Not a good colour for me! I gave it 2 lippies because its a great quality, smooth, blendable matte, but bamboo is just awful on me. Way too orange. I was hoping for a light, wearable neutral. Nope....

I really love the quality of MAC's Matte eyeshadows. Matte eyeshadows give off a classic put together look. Bamboo is a dark nudey colour with a hint of orange/peachy undertone. It's one of MAC's...

From the permanent line. It's a medium beige, around NW/NC 35, would be my guess. It's not as dark on as I thought it would be, but it blends nicely and works well with a light eyecolor day. ...

On me, bamboo is pretty near invisible - the peachy-beige shade matches my skin almost perfectly. So, it doesn't do the usual job of an eyeshadow for me. Instead, I use it to even out my lids...
