MAC eyeshadows are something I go from being completely obsessed with, to forgetting about, to wishing I used more, to go back to being obsessed over. It's an ongoing cycle. So to combat this I decided to make a fool proof palette. I decided 15 shades was too many, 4 not enough, so 6 is going to have to be perfect - so this is what I chose!
Texture (Velvet) "Peachy Brown with Shimmer"
I wouldn't say this has a shimmer, its almost Matte, I love how warm this shade is, it really does just go with everything in the palette, this is the base of pretty much all my eye looks.
Sable (Frost) "Gold Plum with Bronze Pearl"
This is such an odd colour, yet completely works, I love this with Texture for a really warm smokey eye, this is my outer corner shade.
Coppering (Veluxe Pearl) "Orange Copper"
This is something I didn't used to use very often, but teamed up with Amber Lights it is the perfect dramatic warm gold/red eye. Very Autumnal looking, and just perfection in this palette.
Amber Lights (Frost) "Peachy Brown with Shimmer"
Amber Lights is every girls best friend. If you love a gold eye you must own this. It is warm, true gold, stunning as a centre lid shade.
Sumptuous Olive (Veluxe Pearl) "Khaki with Pearl"
This is the shade I shouldn't love, but without a doubt is my favourite MAC shade. It's a greeny gold shimmer, its just beautiful. I use this with Texture in the crease, or just as a one shade eye. So beautiful
Red Brick (Matte) Orange Red
The red I use surprisingly a lot. Not something I would have thought I would reach for but I seem to all the time, and it just finishes this palette off beautifully.
I love this little palette, and I have been reaching for it all the time!

DeleteReally pretty colour choices in this, surprised by how much I like that olive shade - in the pan it looks a bit scary but I can see how that would look stunning just swept over the lid!

The olive for me is a total winner, not something you would pick up typically in store but I love it on everyone - so beautiful.

ReplyDeleteHeather | Of Beauty & Nothingness x
Thank you :)
DeleteI feel like I'm an outsider, because I have only one eyshadow from MAC. I really should do something about it. :D I love how you built your eyeshadow palette, especially the olive and brick shades!
ReplyDeleteMichelle Morchella
YES! Go treat yourself to Sumptuous olive! I love it, so stunning on everyone :)
DeleteI never realised MAC made palettes for six shades, this is indeed the right number - 15 is a little excessive (and expensive!). I've never tried MAC eyeshadows actually, but if I ever get some it'd be in a little palette like yours. I'd also get the same type of warm shades as they're my favourite - Sumptuous Olive is gorgeous and so unique!

I'm not gonna lie, I've always hated the colour orange but oh gosh, I think Red Brick is such a gorgeous shade! This looks like a perfect palette for the colder season, bring some warmth into the winter <3
