    Probably the worst purchase from Mac. Wrong colour for me as I am NC20. It is not long lasting and tends to disappear in an hour. It does not stand out or even compliment my skin. I wear it and...

    NC43-ish, warm skin, brown eyes. I've had it for about 2 or 3 years and use it frequently. This is just a few degrees lighter than my eyelids (MAC's Bronze is exactly the colour of my eyelids to...

    I thought Soba wouldve never worked for me and i was 100 percent wrong. I put Mac Soba on the lid and Cork in the crease and i fell in love(for now). Soba is a gorgeous light caramel brown that...

    Fantastic one wash colour. I bought this after seeing the YouTubed The Anna Edit rave about it and I’m glad I did. I have dark brown hair and pale skin and this flatters my dark brown eyes.

    This shade is lovely for a blonde with warm tones and brown eyes. It really seems to pick up the gold in my eyes. Is light enough to look casual enough for every day and doesn't over power/look too...

    I am not that big on MAC eyeshadows if I am honest, but I got Soba with a little limited edition duo, which came out earlier this summer and I freaking love it. Don't be fooled by its somewhat...

    Love the subtle gold shimmers in the eyeshadow, it adds something extra to this otherwise matte eyeshadow while still looking very natural on the eyes. However, I'm not sure if i got a dud or what,...

    Many years ago, I was all set to purchase Soba at a MAC store when the SA said "It's VERY yellow, you know?" in a not very encouraging tone of voice, and that alone put me off purchasing it for...

    A good everyday shade that is perfect for work or for looking pulled together. It doesn't emphasize any redness from lack of sleep and I like to blend it with darker shades. It should be a part of...

    Would I repurchase? A resounding yes! MAC Soba is my lids but better eyeshadow LOL. It goes a soft brown on me without looking chalky and blends like a dream. I sport is all over my Asian hooded...

    USD$16. On my C2/NC20 skin, this looks like a very natural, medium-toned grayish brown. Although there's little flecks of shimmer in the color, the end result is no shimmer or shine at all. From a...

    Soba is a beautiful caramel colour which complements my brown eyes. I find that I can wear this one on its own or blended with other colours such as Cork or Saddle in the crease. As a Satin, I find...

    I bought this per the recommendation of a MAC artist who I chatted with on their site. I was looking for a peanut butter color, and this one absolutely isn't peanut butter (soft brown would have...

    After patina, soba is my next choice. It is divine. Adds depth and vibrance to eyes.

    I love this shadow. I would not have picked it out, based on it's mustardy color in the tube, but for other reviews. It goes on beautifully. Depending on how much I apply, it ranges from a neutral...

    When I first bought it I was expecting to wear it all over the lid for a neutral but nice wash of colour but it was of course a bit more boring than I thought on my nc44 skin tone. So I wound up...

    A gorgeous medium golden brown with extremely subtle shimmer particles. Great for contouring the eyes or serving as a quick wash of colour across the lid. Is quite a unique colour so I will...

    I LOVE this shadow! It's something I wouldn't have bought on my own. Just looking at it in the container, it doesn't seem that special. However, I went to the MAC counter to get my makeup done...
