MAC Cosmetics's Upcoming Spellbinder Shadows Will Absolutely Blow Your Mind

True beauty junkies know that loose pigment is the fastest way to achieve high-intensity eye makeup looks, but they also know it's one of the messiest techniques. Unless you slap on a supersticky primer first, you'll be dealing with fallout all day and night. That's less than ideal considering you want compliments on the highlighter you're wearing on your cheekbones, not remarks on the little specks tumbling onto them from your eyelids.

Leave it to MAC to completely turn the concept of loose pigment on its head with the brand's new Spellbinder shadows. Launching on Oct. 20, this collection consists of eight shimmering loose formulas that are magnetically charged. The packaging itself contains a magnet, preventing any product from spilling out of the matte black container. It also keeps the shadow beautifully arranged in tiny, glimmering rows. See it in action here.

When dipping our fingers into the shadow, we observed that it featured an unusual cushy feel that was closer to a gel-powder formula. Smoothing it onto the skin revealed its rich, creamy texture, buildable color, and luminous finish. It applied just like a cream shadow, so there's no risk of fallout.

While you don't have to layer it over another color, we can see how these black-based hues would look even more dimensional on top of MAC's iconic Carbon eye shadow ($16). Read on to see shots of the collection.
