Ugh, I really must say that I love MAC cosmetics. Ever since a good friend of mine got me hooked on certain products, like their Lip Plush and Lip Glass lipgloss, which I swear is the longest lasting lip gloss I’ve ever worn, I feel like I’ve been converted. The only product I’m holding out on trying of theirs is the mascara since I still like my drugstore brand L’Oreal Lash Out, and feel that it does the best job on lengthening, darkening and enlarging my eyelashes, and I’ve tried a lot of other expensieve brands too.
My friend, the same one who started my MAC eye opening, got me a limited edition eyeshadow duo that consists of a light off white color ( a yellowish tan) and a deeper brown. Since I’m a brunette with a fair but not necessarily red complexion, browns are one my favorite colors for my eyes.
The eyeshadows also have a tad bit of sparkle to them, making them a bit more festive and reflective when you put them on. The only thing with sparkly eyeshadows that are powder is that you have to be careful to wipe underneath your eyes after application since the sparkles inevitably fall underneath the hollows of your eyes, but that’s minimal with the MAC ones since they don’t go crazy on the sparkle.
The eyeshadow, as with all their other products, goes on smoothly and effortlessly, and it’s deeply pigmented so you don’t find that you’re swiping over and over to get the desired depth to your color, which can be a pain with other eyeshadows that are chinsy on the pigmentation. MAC colors always seem to be a much richer tone as well, and more universally flattering, because I swear I could put this exact same color on made by someone else and it would not look as rich and flattering.
