When I spotted this MAC eyeshadow pan in the shade Sable on a blog sale for just £7.00, looking barely used, it was too good to resist. After googling swatches and reading that it was a great colour to suit blue eyes, I knew it had to be the third eyeshadow to go in my MAC pro palette quad.
Sable is a Frost finish, which gives an iridescent shine to the eyeshadow. MAC describe Sable as a "gold-plum with bronze pearl" shade, which I do partially agree with. I would describe it as a warm bronze with plum undertones; I'm not sure if there's any gold in there! Although Sable doesn't look much in the pan, it really comes into its own on the skin and looks stunning. I'm so glad I bought it; I don't think I have any other shade quite like it in my eyeshadow collection and the plum undertones make it perfect for Autumn. I also love how buildable the colour is, so it can be easily be transformed from a day to night shade. As with the other MAC eyeshadows I've tried, the quality and pigmentation is on a very high level.
I now need one more eyeshadow pan to make my quad complete (the other shades I have are Satin Taupe and All That Glitters), so if you have any recommendations please let me know in the comments.
What do you think of Sable? Which MAC eyeshadow shades do you love?

Very much so :-) xx
DeleteGorgeous! What a lovely shade Sasha and perfect for this time of year as you say! I still haven't popped my Mac eyeshadow cherry yet - I fear once I start I won't be able to stop! I am hankering after the Mac paintpot in Groundwork - don't think I'll be able to resist for too much longer! xx
ReplyDeleteOoh yes the paint pots look great, it's on my never ending wishlist of things I would love to try! xx
DeleteSo glad that you like it! The plum tones just didn't suit me but it looks lovely on you! xx

I do, thank you so much! xx
DeleteI have sable, mythology, all that glitters and nylon in my quad and I love all of them, they are perfect everyday shades. :) X

I will have to have a look at Mythology and Nylon! I love everyday shades xx
DeleteSable is such a pretty shade, but spending £10 for a pan of it would make me cringe - though at the same time I'm very jealous! xxx

MAC eyeshadows are definitely a splurge, but they are gorgeous quality and very good quality! Getting any kind of money off or discount is therefore an absolute bargain to me xx
DeleteI think it's perfect for a light smoky look. :)

Absolutely! It can be worn quite sheer or layered for a much stronger colour xx
DeleteLove Sable! Shroom would be a good one to complete your quad, it's such a pretty highlight! :)

Me too :-) xx
DeleteSuch a beautiful shade! I would recommend Soba, it looks kind of boring in the pan but is so nice on the lid :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recommendation! I'm excited to choose one xx
DeleteThat is such a gorgeous shade, it looks so multi-dimensional xx

I think that's definitely a benefit of the Frost finishes, they have a gorgeous finish xx
DeleteI love Sable - it's so under-rated! At Christmas, I pair it with Cranberry at the outer corner for a really festive makeup look :-)
