Pictured: MAC's Rated R and Eyepopping
Pictured left to right: MAC's Sharp from the Tempting Eye Palette, MAC's Eyepopping, Tony&Tina's Cosmic Destiny and the new MAC shade called Rated R. I did two swatches of this shade. I applied wet and dry.

MAC's Eyepopping and
Sharp are very close in looks. Eyepopping is a richer texture with a smidge less yellow pigment.
Cosmic Destiny shadow in the Tony & Tina Spring Nymph eye palette is more of a muted pea green soup shade with a dash of shimmer.
Rated "R" shadow is a lime green that flashes yellow metallic. Applied wet brings out the green intensity. The texture for starflash shades is magnificent. It feels creamy yet light like a dollop of marshmallow fluff.
The pigment is richer and more vivid. This shadow has spunk in comparison to all the other bitter green shadows I own.
Rated "R" is from the current Love That Look collection and retails for $14.50.

Does anyone else find it odd that it's so similar to the green in the NARS duo of the same name - Rated R?
I wish I could do a comparison shot. My nearest Nars counter is in Cleveland.
It didn't even catch my eye on the website, but now I really want to see it!!! Thanks for the great swatches! :)
TKS! very good swatches!
Lawsuit waiting to happen...
Wooow they are so vividly GREEN!!
Love this! I have Sharp and have eyed each of the others. But I have to ask the obvious question, how do they all compare to the MAC's bitter green that's actually called Bitter?
Stef: That I do not know! I have never purchased it because I have all these others. Same with Rated X by Nars. I wish I could do some side by side's with those shades too!
You need those, so do I!
