Is Fyrinnae Eye Shadow Better Than MAC Eye Shadow?

Fyrinnae's cosmetics can sway even hardcore MAC fans. You can purchase color samples for only $1.50, the actual products are cheaper than MAC,and they send generous freebies with your order. Also, the names are more evocative and the colors are no less imaginative.

Fyrinnae doesn't have a brick and mortar store, but their web site more than makes up for it. Rather than just pixelated color swatches, they have photographs of the product. This includes swatches of the color applied both wet and dry on bare skin.

MAC's cosmetic counters have an intimidating reputation. While there are many helpful, kind sales assistants out there, MAC is also known for having customer service that can be condescending and unhelpful. But people go to the counter so they can see the product in real life. Shopping online and having access to Fyrinnae's wonderful pictures makes this unnecessary. I prefer to shop online because it's faster, and if I can avoid getting attitude in the process, I'm all for it.

Fyrinnae donates to a wildlife center, and their hand-created colors are vegan. MAC also donates to charity, with money going to fight AIDS. Neither company tests on animals.

Fyrinnae eye shadows sell for just $5.25 per color. MAC shadows are $14 per color, and you can't purchase samples.

Professional colours are designed to last a long time even in conditions that might normally interfere with makeup.

Arcane magic eyeshadows change colors depending on how the light hits it, and naturally they provide pictures as examples. Archmage, for instance, looks blue/green in one picture, then purple/lavender in another.

MAC always has something new to try out, but even that can get old. Sometimes MAC puts out collections that have "new" shades that look almost identical to older ones. Fyrinnae's inexpensive samples enable you to try out new things with having to spend much or go to a store.
