Her grandfather George V approved of the name Elizabeth, which hadn’t been used in the British Royal Family for many years. “A lovely complexion,” her grandmother Queen Mary wrote in her diary on the day her son Bertie’s first child was born, by the Caesarean method, in 1926. She looks around, as if to hang on to the scene a little longer, before she gets into the Land-Rover to go back via Windsor to London-back to work. She says, “The chestnut’s got a good action, hasn’t he?” and her companions agree, not so much out of deference (she is the Queen of England) as because she is an accurate observer and a knowledgeable breeder of race horses, and in the last few years has risen to the top of the British list of winning owner-breeders. Long grass tinged with white, and white clouds of breath pulsing from the horses’ nostrils as they come fast down the practice gallops, a pair of yearlings, one black, one chestnut, their jockeys urging but not particularly pressing them, soon letting them ease up and turn back, pace gently toward the three people who have been standing attentively by a Land-Rover: the trainer, Major Dick Hern the racing manager, Lord Porchester and the owner of the horses, a small woman of fifty, with bright, almost sapphire-blue eyes, wearing a sheepskin jacket, tweed skirt, and muddy boots, her cheeks glowing from good health and pleasure. Green and pleasant downland, high in Berkshire, on a frosty spring morning. The matte shades were lightly creamy to slightly stiffer to work with, and with the stiffer ones, I preferred using a brush to get the initial product out of the jar and then use a fingertip to furiously diffuse the product.This is the first part of a two-part Profile. The matte finish is most consistent in performance and tended to perform better than the shades with some level of shimmer.

(Plus, it is rare that products actually go as long as 12, let alone 16, hours without some sign(s) of wear.) I don't recall this product having a specific, 24-hour wear claim before (and my prior reviews don't mention it, just that it was "long-wearing"), so ratings did change for certain shades as a result.īrowse all of our MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot swatches. With 24-hour wear claims like this, I wear for as long as I'm awake, but I don't want to sleep in makeup, so I extrapolate based on the state of it at 16-hours. The wear of the shimmer shades was shorter, too, and there was often a bit of creasing within 10 hours of wear. I didn't find that they applied any better using brushes over fingertips or vice versa. They were best applied in thin layers and built up, but the results were inconsistent and varied a lot between shades. The shimmery finish, particularly more pearlescent/metallic, were significantly more emollient than the matte shades, and this led to sheerer coverage that often applied unevenly and was difficult to apply with precision. The matte shades were typically semi-opaque to opaque in coverage and longer-wearing-12 to 14 hours before showing a bit of fading-but were varying degrees of blendable (related to how creamy the initial texture was).
The matte shades were lightly creamy to slightly stiffer to work with, and with the stiffer ones, I preferred using a brush to get the initial product out of the jar and then use a fingertip to furiously diffuse the product. The formula is supposed to be "highly pigmented, long-wearing, blendable" and can be used as either an "eye primer" or as a "cream shadow." The brand says it's supposed to wear for "24 hours" without flaking or creasing.
