Another of the Metallic Pigment Stacks from MAC, Strawberry Patch focuses on metallic pink shades.
Star Crystal |
Rose Light |
Rose Light looks distinctly salmon-toned inside its pot but, once applied, it becomes more of light yellow-toned pink with subtle silvery shimmer flecks that bears little resemblance to its appearance inside the container. Rose Light is another of the more finely-milled pigments in this stack & it has a nice frosty, metallic sheen to it.
Strawberry Patch |
Without a doubt, Strawberry Patch is, to my eye, the prettiest-looking of these four pigments. A vivid medium pink that has a hint of lilac to it. Once applied to the skin, there's a silver sheen that doesn't come across as much in the pot. What lets Strawberry Patch down is its texture; this is beyond chunky!
Swatching it was hard-going, it takes work to get even coverage & there's loose chunks of pigment floating around.

Moon Rose |
The last shade in this stack is Moon Rose. It's a darker pink with a touch of red to it. It also has a vivid, bright pink sheen to it. Moon Rose is another shade that looks a lot better on skin than it does in the pot, and it has a nice, soft texture to it.

The swatches were done straight on to bare skin using the pigments dry. The issues with Strawberry Patch & its texture are very much in evidence in the picture.
If you like your pink shades, the Strawberry Patch stack is worth checking out. However, the big let-down comes in the form of the shade Strawberry Patch. The texture is really awkward & hard to work with. The other three are absolutely fine, though, and have great pigmentation.
