My Favourite MAC Eyeshadows

Hi Everyone!

 

As you can see from the picture above, I have a pretty large collection of MAC eyeshadows! They are amazing, there is a wide range of colours and finishes to suit everyone. I have lot's of shadows in my collection from various brands but the MAC ones have a special place in my heart! They are the first ones I purchased when I really got into make-up. Woodwinked was my first, followed by Satin Taupe and they are still used on a regular basis to this day! I have repurchased both of them several times! So when I sat down to write this post I wanted it to be a top 10 but I just couldn't select only 10! So here are my favourites!

Cranberry, Coppering, Woodwinked

DESCRIPTIONS/ FINISHES/ THOUGHTS:

 

NYLON: Pale gold with icy shimmer (Frost). This is the perfect highlight for the inner corner. Its also beautiful when patted onto the centre of the lid to add brightness.

MYTHOLOGY: Copper (Lustre). I love my copper shades! This has a little fallout but it's worth it!

SWISH: Bright pink with icy shimmer (Frost). This has a pink base with a slight purple duochrome. I love to pear it with Pink Pearl pigment.

EXPENSIVE PINK: Pink with duochrome (Veluxe Pearl). This has brown elements to it and is so pretty worn alone, all over the lid.

STAR VIOLET: Pinky- brown plum (Veluxe Pearl). Gorgeous plum shade that you can pair with purples or browns.

CRANBERRY: Red- plum with pink shimmer (Frost). This is quite the cult shade! It can be a bit scary looking but it works well with browns!

COPPERING: Orange copper (Veluxe Pearl). I am a sucker for copper shades and this is one of the best!

WOODWINKED: Warm antique gold (Veluxe Pearl). This is a must have! It's a beautiful, easy to wear shade that's gold on the lid and blends out into a copper shade in the crease.

AMBER LIGHTS: Peachy- brown with shimmer (Frost). Another popular shade online!

SABLE: Gold- plum with bronze pearl (Frost).

ANTIQUED: Ash brown with bronze (Veluxe Pearl). This is one of my very shades! There's a beautiful redness to it!

PLUM DRESSING: Pinky- plum with metal (Veluxe Pearl). The perfect shade that's half way between pink and purple.

FIG 1: Eggplant purple (Matte). VERY pigmented! A must have if you love purple!

SUMPTUOUS OLIVE: Khaki with pearl (Veluxe Pearl). I love this all over the lid with a warm brown in the crease. Ideal if you want to try green but are a little nervous about it!

KNIGHT DIVINE: Black with silver pearl (Veluxe Pearl). This is more grey than black to me and is ideal for a silver- grey smoky eye.

CONTRAST: Purplish- blue with blue pearl (Velvet). The perfect colour for a navy smoky eye.

 

Other honourable mentions have to go to All That Glitters, Satin Taupe and Club. I could have included them in the list above but I find there are other similar shadows in my collection of non- MAC shadows that I reach for more than them! They are beautiful though!

 

As I mentioned above, the shadows come in various finishes. I found an excellent guide to them here

 

You can purchase the shadows from the MAC website here. They are priced at £10 for the pro pans that I have and £13 for the regular containers.
