SHADES IN MY MAC PALETTE

Hey guys,

Allow me begin by thanking you for your trust, support and loyalty in the past year and wishing you a happy and prosperous new year. May it be one filled with God's goodness, favor and blessings all the way.

Back to being and staying beautiful :)

Before I begin, Can I stress the fact that the MAC Cosmetics Company has never produced neither a '120 Eye shadow Palette' or a '24 pcs Brush Set'. I have come across quite a number of fake MAC products ranging from eye shadows to lip products, so if you have one of those, hmmmmnnnn......
Always purchase your MAC products from trusted distributors and if you are ever still in doubt, visit their official website or buy in store.
Speaking of their eye shadows, they come in either pots or in refill pans. So if you want to purchase the refill pans, you have to buy the empty palettes separately (either the palette of 4 or 15).

Here's my palette of 15 with the shadows.





My customized palette is filled majorly with 'Base' and 'Contour' Colors as I personally prefer to highlight with lighter shades of foundation and concealer as opposed to eye shadows. I must confess the colors I selected are absolutely pretty and highly pigmented too, just in case you are looking to purchase a few lovely shades.

Here are the 15 individual colours in no particular order.

Contrast

Cranberry

Electra

Red Brick

Hepcat

Woodwinked
Goldmine
Amberlights (Amaaaaazing)

Expensive Pink

Star Violet

Coppering
Embark
Antiqued

Shadowy Lady

Sketch
A major reason I love MAC eye shadows is the fact that although highly pigmented, they hardly leave fall-outs, so I can afford to apply my bases (Foundation, Concealer and Powder) before doing my eye shadow work. With their matte shades such as Embark, Red Brick and Shadowy Lady above, I apply a white eye shadow base to make them stand out and they pop really well.

I know what you're thinking, and you are right. They are quite expensive. The empty palette of 15 is £12 and each refill pan (eye shadow) is £10, so in total, the package costs £162. Quite expensive, but totally worth it (If you ask me).

I'll post a few looks I have created with these shades pretty soon.



Your Beauty Bestie,
Eniola
