It’s Vintage
MAC It’s Vintage Powder Kiss Soft Matte Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a deep, purplish-taupe with neutral-to-cool undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage with less than a second layer.
The texture was soft, smooth, and finely-milled, which ensured it was blendable. It lasted nicely for eight hours before fading visibly on me.

Formula Overview
$20.00/0.05 oz. – $400.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have “pillow-soft, matte colour” that is “highly blendable” with “unbelievable slip” that has “stay-true colour” that doesn’t fade, crease, or dry out the lids. The majority of the shades were pigmented, though a few were more semi-opaque and buildable.
The texture was soft, smooth, and slightly powdery in the pan–softer and more yielding than the standard MAC matte eyeshadow–but had more glide for better adhesion and blendability on bare skin. The eyeshadows stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.
They’re thinner and a bit more powdery than the long-discontinued Matte2 formula, though it was more like that finish than the current, matte finish in the brand’s permament range of eyeshadows. They were easier and more forgiving to work with than a lot of MAC’s eyeshadows, so they were improved and a nice addition to the brand’s range (they’re also available as pan-only for less).
