M.A.C Eye Shadows I Can't Live Without

M.A.C Eye shadows
A luxury product, especially in a pro pallet.

For those that haven't seen/got a pro pallet you buy the individuals and create your own favourite pallet. It is expensive as you buy the individual shadows, the pallet and the holder separately yet they're also so much fun to make and really for filling (for lack of a better word) when you finally fill one.

 I have a nearly filled my first pallet and from all the M.A.C eyeshadow quads/pallets I own I have narrowed my favourites down to 5 ...well 6 


The top 5 M.A.C eye shadows I can't live with out are:

• Patina - A Shimmered champagne/taupe/gold like colour with a pearlescent sheen to it in the sunlight. It is the perfect barely-there colour for a fresh faced look and my go to paired with a bright red lip.
• Woodwinked - My all time favourite and as you can guess it's the one that's hit pan and is in serious need of a repurchase hurry up payday!. Woodwinked goes with all looks it and blends like heaven on your eyelid. It requires minimum effort and provides maximum results. This colour is a warm toned bronzy antique gold shimmer and will pretty much enhance any eye colour. When blended it has a darker coppery/brunt tone to it which essentially acts as a natural crease shadow when applied all over the lid and blended. I haven't found a lip colour or skin tone that this doesn't work with. If it isn't in your makeup bag already you need to get yourself to M.A.C now! 
• Wedge - This is a matte colour which can act perfectly as a base to the above two colours to deepen and enhance them. However, Wedge is also brilliant in its own right. It is a lovely muted beige/taupe colour with M.A.C usual beautifully smooth formula it can be the perfect way to add depth to an eye with out going over board and without a shimmer. It is the perfect matte nude to compliment lighter and darker shadows whether that be as a base or used to create a natural shadow in the crease.
• Mulch - A shimmered redish brown, again blends perfectly for the ultimate deep smokey eye with an extra bit of bronzy loveliness. This colour is a warm toned brown with tiny pearlescent golden flecks which would compliment blue or green eyes in harmony. Even though it is a shimmer Mulch can be used to create shadows and applied all over the lid you can still achieve a wearable daytime look.
• Mystery - My favourite matte brown this is essentially a cooler plum/brown toned matte version of Mulch yet I would still consider it an essential in my makeup bag. This colour can compliment most neutral shades whether they are warm or cool toned with ease and for those dark haired beauties can be the perfect colour for your eyebrows with its ashy undertones it won't add any red/orange twinges that some pencils seem to give. This paired with Wedge in the centre of the lid and this on the outer corner  is my favourite combination for a matte smokey brown eye and can be easily vamped up or down for day - night use.

(Sable is also featured in above and below pictures as I love it so much! Nevertheless I think I could potentially survive without it so it didn't make the cut for the top 5 but it is still beautiful. See picture above and below of shadows in the pallet for reference)
