MAC In The Groove – Togetherness Mineralize Eyeshadow Trio and Stereo Rose MSF Swatches

The rest of the Mineralize Skin Finish swatches will follow soon. In the meantime here is Togetherness.

It’s a gorgeous trio. A soft lilac/ pink shade, deep black based royal purple and a gun metal grey. All are shimmery to an extent with the purple being the most shimmery. They are softer than normal MAC shadows but I didn’t experience any fall out when I first used them. They are really quite well pigmented too and blend like a dream. These are swatched with no base as usual.


And here is the infamous Stereo Rose. This has become my new favourite blush! It looks a little redder on than it does in this swatch. I’ve been paring it with By Candlelight and the effect is so polished it’s unreal. Yes there is a bit of shimmer but it isn’t too noticeable and definitely avoids disco-ball-face syndrome. If you pick up one thing from this collection my best bet would be this.



All in all I’m really chuffed with this collection. I like the smooth, soft texture of the MAC mineralize products. I had been warned that the older mineralize eyeshadows were prone to fall out and were chunky but I haven’t found this at all with Togetherness. Maybe they changed the formula?

More swatches en route! xx

  1. That is such a gorgeous combination of colours in the eyeshadow trio. I've been really impressed with Stereo Rose too, I thought maybe I'd be too pale for it - but actually I think it looks better! x

  2. Wow, I didn't expect the swatches of togetherness to come out like that! It looks very different than the topshop one! I'll have to get snapping now that I am back home!

  3. I was sure I'd love Stereo Rose but it didn't suit me at all. I grabbed Petticoat though, it's much better on my pale skin :)

  4. I am uber pale myself and find that Stereo Rose suits if used with a light hand. I guess it depends on how cool/warm toned you are though :-) Petticoat is a smidgin too frosty for me but I love it anyway!

    Can't wait to see the Topshop swatches! xx
