MAC Eyeshadow

I recently leapt on the MAC bandwagon a few weeks ago buy purchasing: Trax and Vanilla powder eyeshadow, Mauvism, Stilife and Untitled Paints and Cubic blusher. These products are excellent and worth every penny! I am so in love with the paints and Trax eyeshadow. The paints are very pigmented and are a dream to apply - they are a cream that comes in these cute little "paint tubes", hence the name, and they dry to a powdery, amazing lasting finish. They make great bases (especially Untitled, which is a very natural looking creamy, beige colour with a teeny amount of shimmer). Stilife is a very pretty, VERY shimmery pale peachy colour. Mauvism is an ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to eyeshadows I am what can only be described as a hoarder - I have a massive collection, ranging from your bog standard neutrals, through to hot pinks, peacock greens and striking purples. Unsurprisingly for anyone who knows their makeup, there is nothing I like better than a browse through the vast colour collection that is MAC. As well as the huge selection of colours, there is also a great choice of finishes - from frosted, to pearl, to matte, there's something for everyone, whether you're looking to recreate a classic 1940's matte look, or a sparkly 1980's effect. At £11 each they are on the pricey side, but in my experience the quality is well worth ...  Read the complete review

I first came across MAC Eyeshadows quite a few years ago while I was at a counter getting a whole face make-up look for my Winter Formal. The assistant used 'Bisque' (a beige) all over the lid as a neutral base to make the light green liner ('So There Jade' Powerpoint Eye Pencil) stand out. I was hooked straight away. Online and in stores MAC Eyeshadows come in a wide variety of colours and finishes, from bright mattes to subtle satins, to create any look for day or night. The best thing about these highly-pigmented powder shadows is that the colour seen in the pot transfers well when applied to the eye area - too often have I been left disappointed after ...  Read the complete review

Yes it's true I love Mac make-up. I began this love affair with aid of a camp make-up artist Paul. Paul, one of Mac's instore make-up artist listened to my call for all day, everyday eyes. First he selected a skin colour shade for my whole eye (up to the eye brow) then he selected a dark brown for the closing part of the eye lid. I also added a glisening bronze and a light purple to my collection. *Packaging* They come in a stylish black (or special edition colour) box which has a circular whole in the top so you can see the colour of the eye shadow. The actual eye shadow is in a smallish (c. 5cm across) plastic shell with a clear acrylic ...  Read the complete review

After the disappointment of the MAC Paint and the elation of the MAC Pigment, I am now going to review the final eyeshadow product in my wedding makeup collection. The Pigment is fairly revolutionary, not by the fact it is a loose power eyeshadow but by virtue of the fact that it is a loose powder eyeshadow that actually works. The Paint is fairly rubbish really. Which brings me to the standard MAC Eye Shadow.... It is a single colour eyeshadow which comes in a round pot. I bought this in black for creating a smoky look and also a champagne/gold for my lid (I then used the Pigment up to my eyebrows). It cost £10 for each 1.5g pot from House of Fraser and MAC ...  Read the complete review
