No makeup collection can be properly complete without one or two MAC eyeshadows, culminating of course with a 15 handpicked shades palette. Have to say that I’ve been working on building up my collection for a while, carefully selecting the most wearable and flattering colors for me.
I’ve played safe, mixing matte neutrals like Era, Omega or Espresso with rose gold shimmers (Mythology) and satin metallics like Satin Taupe, Patina or Sable. For a pop of color and a smokier look, Cranberry and Club seemed the best choice. I wanted to create a very wearable selection of complementary shades that i could always use and could match any occasion or outfit. Plus, the eyeshadows don’t come very cheap so i wanted to maximize my investment.
Talking about the quality seems so overdone, the texture is butter soft and the colour selection a dream. Still have to use some sort of a primer underneath so im not faced with creasing, but that’s because my skin is oily and melts everything in sight.
My palette is the old version, there is a new one out with a clear lid…really itching to create a new one, which will probably be ‘neutrals and beyond’. Yes, i am boring like that.
Any other amazing shades i should consider? Let me know in the Comments xo.
Such great choices! I have some mad greens in my from my youth that remain barely used. Soba is a lovely shade – just lighter than Cork. I use it as a transitional colour.

Thanks Lorraine, itching to start a new one. Eye shadows are my poison haha!
Love MAC products, satin taupe is my favourite in your palette.
Try Sketch, it’s a deep purple, really good for contouring but if you’re feeling braver, I love wearing it all over for a really heavy eye! xxx
