Nothing is too loud or in-your-face here. It’s just gorgeous, and again this contributes to the overall wearability of this shade. (Actually I found a handy-dandy blog post explaining all of MAC’s finishes, which you can read here if you’re interested.) It has a pearly, subtly metallic effect on the eye.

This is one of MAC’s Veluxe Pearl shades if you know your MAC finishes. Just easy, easy application and great color payoff. Nor does it deposit too much onto your cheeks during eye application.Īnd the best news? Sumptuous Olive blends like absolute butter across the eyes. What I mean by that is when you dip your brush in to pick up the color, it doesn’t kick up a lot of product. There is very little fall-out from this shade, as can often be the case with other shimmery, pearly or metallic shadows. I love to apply this as a light wash all over my eyes with a big fluffy brush, like my beloved MAC 217 for instance. It’s just the most beautiful, softly-defining cool-toned olivey-gold shade I know of (wow that was a lot of hyphens!). Application photos are coming up later in this post so can see what I mean. Pressed in the pan, it looks a lot more green than it does when applied to the eye. If you’re a fan of very wearable olive green shades on your eyes then Sumptuous Olive is for you! Actually I would say this is a light ashy gold shade that pulls olive, if that makes sense.

So this post is my love note to this gorgeous little lady.įYI – I have this shade as a single, but it appears this is now only sold as a Pro Palette Refill Pan on MAC’s website. Lemme tell you, I have a lot of eyeshadows in my collection too many for one person to be very honest.
