MAC Eye Shadow —
I'm an "au naturale" type of girl. Most days, I only wear eyeliner and mascara. Part of the reason is I'm constantly putting Visine or a contact refresher in my eyes during the day; the other part is that I am lazy and don't care about covering up my zits, tinting my lips or adding color to my cheeks. I'm pale for a reason (see: my hair color).That's not to say I don't enjoy looking glamorous for a date or a night out on the town. Special occasions deserve a special look, and when I want to look like a rockstar I turn to MAC eye shadow.
This stuff is frickin' fantastic. MAC eye shadow comes individually sold in tiny circular cases, or you can create your own palette of four colors. The eye shadow is magnetic and clicks right in to the palette - sa-weet! Individually the eye shadow is $14.50; I always purchase the DIY palette because it's a great deal. The exact price of a DIY palette fails me at the moment, but I will update this review when I remember. Just trust me, you want a palette.
I highly recommend the palettes because you can choose colors for both day and night. I usually create a palette with neutral colors for a day look and vibrant, sparkly colors for an evening look. There are 161 colors to choose from, so selecting your favorites can be difficult. The MAC salespeople are SUPER friendly and will help you pick which colors look best with your eyes and other features. You will not leave a MAC store feeling disappointed about your eye shadow color choices.
MAC eye shadow lasts forever. I have had one palette for almost a year and a half. Granted, I do not wear eye shadow that often, but when I first started wearing makeup I did wear eye shadow quite frequently. An individual case of MAC eye shadow lasted me about six months. I do not glob on the eye shadow, so if you use a lot of shadow it might last less than that.
The shadow itself is pretty thick. You don't need to use a lot to get a nice look. This stuff stays on nicely too. You can blend it easily, but it doesn't smudge. I don't know what is in this eye shadow, but it just looks great on and is totally worth the price. Buy it already!
MAC eye shadow gets five stars from me. If I'm going to spend money on eye makeup, then it's going to be MAC eye shadow. No questions asked.
