My MAC eyeshadow palette :-)

Hi everyone,

I am really excited to share this post with you today because it is my MAC eyeshadow pallet :). I love MAC eye shadows and as soon as I finish this post I will probably have to update it as I am constantly buying them. They all have an amazing finish and great pigmentation.

This is my eyeshadow pallet I keep them in the MAC pro pallet which you can get at any MAC store or online. Forgive me they are well used and don't look so great.

MAC have a few different finishes for their eye shadows and by finishes I mean the texture and appearance of an eyeshadow. This will affect the colour payoff and the result for the final look. Another thing that will affect how they look on you is weather you have cool or warm toned skin if you don't know check out my blog on how to find out.

Matte

Matte is classified as high colour payoff and no shine matte finish. These eye shadows have no shine, no glitter and no frost they do not reflect light. You will get the most intense colour with a matte shade.

The shades I have in the matte finish are:

Atlantic blue is a cobalt blue in the pan however this has very little colour payoff I had to scrape the colour out of the pan to get the intensity in the photo. I don't think I will be repurchase this as I was very disappointed with it.

Rule is orange there is no other description for this colour except bright orange, but don't think its not wearable smoked out with swiss chocolate it looks amazing.

Wedge is another warm toned shadow it is a nice light brown and can be worn all over the lid or in the crease for a little bit of colour during the day.

Swiss chocolate is a gorgeous medium brown its very warm toned with a definite orange base.

Embark this eyeshadow is a very intense brown with warm undertones and a matte finish.

Carbon is described as an intense black which may be true if you pack it on but it is a little sheer in my opinion.

Frost 

Frost finish is an iridescent shine that will add highlight to any colour. Frost finish has reflecting particles throughout and creates a pearly shiny effect.

The shades I have in frost finish are:

Naked lunch is a nice warm toned champagne colour I would normally wear this all over the lid as a base colour or over another colour to add sparkle.

Paradisco is a beautiful coral/pink colour with a gold undertone and is one of my more used colours I love this colour because it has a pretty soft shimmer to it.

Amber lights is a very rich coppery brown with gold shimmer in it. It has a warm orange undertone with a metallic finish. 

Steamy this is quite a cool toned green/teal shade with shimmer in it. Its such a pretty colour, one you need to see in person as the camera doesn't do it justice. 

Tilt this is a very light blue with a shimmery finish also one I don't reach for that often as it is so shimmery. However it has an amazing duo chrome effect and one you need to check out in person.

Satin

Satin finish gives colour in a smooth finish it provides a soft subtle non-frost sheen. 

In the satin finish I have:

Brule can be described as a soft creamy beige and is a good base/highlight colour.

Orb is a soft pink/peach it is more for highlighting or as a base colour.

Sushi flower I'm not entirely sure what made me get this as it is pink it has slight golden undertones. I haven't as of yet figured out what way to wear this but it is very pretty and I hopefully will find a way to wear it soon.

Haux this is a nice muted mauve colour and with nice warm undertones. I wear this quite regular in the crease with wedge all over the lid for a quick smokey eye during the day.

Veluxe

Veluxe is a soft creamy version of a matte it has a nice silky finish. 

I only have one of these: Down brown is a subtlety warm toned dark chocolate brown. Its a very intense brown and works really well with a brown smokey eye.

Velvet

Velvet finish is soft with high colour intensity and can range from a matte finish to a full on glitter bomb with this one its name is in regards to the texture rather than the actual finish. 

The only one in this finish I have is: Sketch it is described as a burgundy red shimmer with a muted, dusty brown/burgundy and a matte finish.

Veluxe Pearl

Veluxe Pearl shadows are almost metallic looking. They are ultra-shimmery and very easy to apply and blend over the lid. The shadows themselves are very soft and apply smoothly. 

In Veluxe pearl I have: 

Moons reflexion is a green tinged blue with a silvery sheen so it has a more cool tone to it and an amazing duo chrome effect. It works beautifully all over the lid with carbon blended well in the outer corner.

Freshwater this is a very hard colour to decide wether it is warm or cool toned, its looks like a silvery blue but from some angles it looks like it could have gold tones in it. One I need try to use more I really like it but need to find a nice way to wear.

Expensive pink is a golden pink with a lot of shimmer in it. I wear this one a lot in my crease I usually blend it out with swiss chocolate to tone down the shimmer and put wedge all over the lid.

Star Violet is a beautiful golden purple with warm golden brown undertones and a shimmery finish. It wears really nice all over the lid with Embark or Down brown blended into the crease.

Antiqued is a very warm toned medium/brown with a softer frosted finish. This goes really well with Down brown and Embark.

Sumptuous olive is an amazing golden green shade the duo chrome this colour is amazing one you need to try out as my photo doesn't do it justice. I love using this all over the lid with Embark blended in the corners.
