MAC Brant Brothers Eye Shadow Quad |
MAC Brant Brothers 4 Pillars: Eye Shadow X 4 ($43.50 CAD):
This eyeshadow quad comes in a very sleek and shiny plastic compact embossed with the collection logo. The packaging definitely has a more masculine/androgynous feel as the collection is designed with both men and women in mind. The palette includes four very neutral shades. You get a soft pale champagne shimmer, a matte light taupe-brown, a medium taupe-brown matte with subtle sparkles, and a matte black.

Mother's Milk is very silky and smooth and both
Sandstone and
Mystery are fairly pigmented for mattes.
Carbon, however, is very chalky and patchy; I could barely get the color to show up on my arm swatches. I know matte blacks are not easy to formulate but this one is definitely lacking.

MAC Brant Brothers Eye Kohl |
MAC Brant Brothers Eye Kohl ($21.50 CAD):
Packaged in simple pencil forms, the Eye Kohls from the Brant Brothers Collection are available in three shades:
El Dorado, a bold gold shimmer,
Smolder, a matte carbon black, and
Paragon, a pearly champagne shimmer.

MAC Brant Brothers Eye Kohl |
All three shades are richly pigmented and buttery smooth. As their name suggests, the shades are easily blendable but they aren't smudge-proof. If you are into a more softened smoky look then these will work well but if you like your liners crisp and long-lasting, these aren't the most appropriate.
