3. Top 10 Mac Eyeshadows For Hazel Eyes

So you could say I am a bit of a Mac eyeshadow addict. I firmly believe that it is better to invest in a large palette and fill it up than buying individual potted eyeshadows. They are easier to store and travel with. So when building your collection where do you begin? I have listed below the 10 eyeshadows that every makeup lover should have. How I have narrowed it down to 10 I do not know as there are so many more that I could have added in. For me there is no other eyeshadows that can compare to the Mac’s.

Mac All that Glitters Eyeshadow. There is a proverb that says, “All that glitters is not gold”. Highly pigmented powder. Applies evenly, blends well. Can be used wet or dry. Available in a wide variety of textures and finishes. Usage: Apply to lid using fingers, brush or sponge-tip applicator. To intensify your eye shadow, swipe brush over Eye Shadow. Spray Prep + Prime Fix+ on brush to intensify payoff. Claims: - Dermatologist tested - Ophthalmologist.

Vanilla
This is a creamy beige colour with an almost matte finish. I use this on my lid with another colour ( there are so many that work with this) in the crease or on the brow bone as a highlighter. This is a very easy colour to work with and has great pigmentation

Best Mac Neutral Eyeshadows

Naked Lunch
As you can see from the picture I have hit pan on this colour. It is a beautiful pinky tan colour. I use this on the lid with Mac Satin Taupe in the crease. This is gorgeous with any darker colour in the crease.

Woodwinked
This is a colour that I can’t live without. It is a is a warm, red-toned brown with a metallic shine.This is beautiful on its own all over the lid or it can be paired with Mulch in the crease or with Patina on the lid and Woodwinked in the crease. If you only buy one colour than this is the one.

All That Glitters
As the name suggests All That Glitters is a gorgeous light coppery gold colour. This is another must have. It is beautiful on the lid with Mulch in the crease. I love using the combination of Woodwinked, All that glitters, Much and then Vanilla pigment for the inner corner.

Amber Lights
If you have blue eyes then you must have this in your collection. Amber Lights is a rich, warm-toned coppery bronze with a frost finish. This is gorgeous with vanilla on the lid, Amber Lights in the crease and Embark in the outer V.

Cranberry
This colour is very much the Mac shade of the season. It is a berried red with a frost finish. This colour can be worn in so many different ways. For a casual look you could put Blanc Type or Vanilla on the lid with Cranberry in the crease. Or for a night out, Girly or pink frost on the lid, Cranberry in the crease and Beauty Marked in the outer V.

Sushi Flower
This is another beauty. It is quite bright and might not be to everyones taste but I love it. It is a is a medium-dark pink with a satin finish. For a dramatic look this is gorgeous on the lid with Beauty Marked in the crease. Or for a more daytime friendly look put Phloof on the lid with Sushi Flower in the crease.

Blackberry
I love this colour for a neutral look. Blackberry is a dark purple, matte shade. Postgresql client gui. While it isn’t as pigmented as other colours and can be hard to work with, this is beautiful with Vanilla or Blanc Type on the lid and Blackberry in the crease. All you need then is a bit of black liner and you are set.

Best Mac Eyeshadow Combinations

Embark
This is one of my favourite colours. It is a deep neutral shade that appears purple in the pan but comes out like the most gorgeous brown colour. I love to pair this with amber lights but there are so many combinations for this colour it is just a case of playing around with it.

Charcoal Brown
As you can see I didn’t take this picture myself as I actually need to buy a new one. Charcoal brown is a medium-dark, gray-tinted brown with a matte finish. The main way I use this is for my eyebrows. I use this instead of pencil with an angled brush to give the HD Brow look. I have started using it with Mac Painterly paint pot and vanilla on the lid and Charcoal brown in the crease and wing liquid liner.

Hit, miss and maybe : Eyeshadow palettes

When it comes to eyeshadow palettes, I have a serious problem. When I see a new palette release, there is like a switch goes off inside me and I am not right until I buy it! It is actually an illness! As a result, I am very picky as to what I want from a palette. For me, if a palette is to be a hit, it must have a good selection of colours that you can create a number of looks from. There is nothing worse than having a palette where the shadows just don’t work all that well together. Secondly, the shadows must be easy to work with.…

Highlighting products for glowing skin

Highlighting your face gives your skin a beautiful glow and helps you either minimise or maximise the features you want to change. When highlighting picking a good shade is really important. You can either go for a shade that is close to your skin tone, or as I like to do a shade slightly lighter than your foundation/skin tone. It is important never to go darker for highlighting. Nobody wants mucky looking skin. I like to use a product that has a bit of a glow or shimmer to it. I said shimmer not glitter. Nobody wants to look like they were tackled by Tinker bell. Where to apply highlighter…

Becca shimmering skin perfector pressed in Moonstone

The Becca shimmering skin perfector pressed,was the first item on my hitlist when I went to Florida last month. I have heard so many good things about this powder highlighter and it had been on my mind for a long time. When Jaclyn Hill, one of my favourite YouTubers, raved about this, that I decided that my life would not be complete until I tried it. The Becca Shimmering skin perfector pressed in the shade Moonstone, is a shimmering golden powder highlighter that is the perfect colour for Irish skintones. I am a massive fan of adding a powder highlighter to the tops of my cheeks, to give a glowy…

The Body Shop Smoky Plum Palette

Oh how I love this time of year. I just love the run up to Christmas and everything that goes with it. If I was allowed, I’d have my Christmas tree up in September . One of my favourite things about Christmas is all the lovely gift sets a palettes that are launched. The Body Shop is not a name I normally associate with makeup, so this little beauty was a real surprise for me. The Smoky eye palette in Plum comes in a sleek little black compact which would be perfect for travelling. It contains 4 different eyeshadows and 2 little mini brushes. The eyeshadows are so pigmented and…

Wet’n’Wild Petal Pusher Palette Review

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few months, you will already know that the massively popular US brand Wet n Wild landed on Irish shores last January. If you haven’t already bought at least 1 item from this incredible brand, you seriously need to get yourself down to you nearest Dunnes and get something. Honestly the range is amazing. Already so many of their products have found their way into my favourites. One of my most used Wet n Wild products over the last few months, is the Petal Pusher Palette ( try saying that fast again and again). I adore the looks that this palette creates as…

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Genius

To me, a good set of brows can make or break a face. Trust me, I went around with practically invisible brows for long enough, that now I am on the hunt for THE perfect brow product. 10 years ago, browless and thinking I was only gorgeous Anastasia Beverly Hills is the brow guru that a lot of celebrities in the States visit to get the perfect shape brows. Unfortunately for me, and for many other 80s and 90s kids, our brows are far too often little tufts of scabby looking hair over our eyes, from years of over plucking to get any sort of a decent shape on them…

Top: MAC Humid, Bottom Left: MAC Greensmoke, Bottom Right: MAC Sumptuous Olive

With St. Patrick’s Day this week, I wanted to share my top green MAC eyeshadows. Out of my collection, I chose these particular three for their color, finish, and pigmentation.

My Top Green MAC Eyeshadows

Here are my favorites (luckily, they are all part of MAC’s permanent collection!):

1. Greensmoke – A cooler green with a sparkle finish.
2. Sumptuous Olive – A warm, almost golden green with a pearl finish.
3. Humid – A warmer green with a frost finish.

Starting with Greensmoke and Sumptuous Olive, I think these shades are really great for everyday looks. The green in them is subtle enough to make them office friendly, and they pair nicely with brown and taupe eyeshadows since they are both more muted and contain golden/brown tones.

For those more daring, or for a night out, Humid is the way to go. As you can see in the swatches below, the Humid eyeshadow is the deepest, most vibrant green shade. It pairs especially well with yellow eyeshadows since it has that slight yellow/golden sheen mixed in.

From left to right: Greensmoke, Sumptuous Olive, and Humid

I found Humid (frost) and Sumptuous Olive (Veluxe Pearl) to be exceptionally easy to apply. Greensmoke on the other hand, being a luster finish, takes a little more time to build up. I’d recommend using a densely-packed flat shader brush to pick up the product from the pan and pack in on the lid. But despite that, once on the eye, it comes out as my #1 favorite out of the three (check out my post on Greensmoke here if you’re interested in seeing it applied).
