A matte, mid-brown with a golden tone. I discovered that this is too dark to use for transition for me and doesn't blend out nicely there (on my hood skin it was a bit patchy) using my preferred tech...Read more

This is a dupe for Buck in the Naked palette! I am not someone who likes to do eyeshadow because I can never do them right and it never looks good on my asian almond eyes. My go to is Groundwork Paint...Read more

It looks boring in the pan, but this has been an excellent eyeshadow for defining the lid or like others have noted, filling in my eyebrows.

Cork is a matte medium neutral brown. I'm a natural redhead but my hair isn't bright orange. It's like like a medium auburn. Anyway, cork is the best brow shade for me with my invisi-brows. Totall...Read more

I originally wrote a review for Cork way back in 2010 and at the time, I wasn't very happy with it. Now, 6 years later, MAC has had the wisdom to drop the price of their Pro Pan shadows considerably ...Read more

I love this product!!! I don't really use it as an eyeshadow but more as a contour color for my cheeks, forehead, and nose (although I'm sure it is lovely on the eyes). It is VERY pigmented, and looks...Read more

I was unsure about this at first but it goes really well with wedge (another Mac eyeshadow).

On me, this is a medium golden brown. It's a good staple and a workhorse. Works great as a crease color in so many looks. Lovely satin finish (almost matte) but not dry or flat. Can be built up or app...Read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this color! So versatile. I use it for contouring on my jawline, cheeks, and eyes. Also great for helping to shape my eyebrows, leaving them looking natural since it's a powder.

I do use this as a cooler-toned crease color for a neutral eye, but Cork gets far more use as a brow powder. I use this daily for the outer half of my brows (with M•A•C Omega on the inner half) and h...Read more

The eyeshadow itself is great, it's creamy and pigmented. However, it turned orange on my eyes and that isn't a look I'd want on an everyday basis. $16 for an eyeshadow I won't wear is too much for me...Read more

Good basic staple eyeshadow tang everyone should own! I use it as a crease color for an everyday natural look, also works good for eyebrows. I just hit pan recently and will repurchase.
