I started out my MAC eyeshadow collection with the basic everyday neutral shades like Cork, Wedge and Brule and soon started adding more colours and textures into my collection. MAC eyeshadows can be hit or miss, and i do feel that some MAC eyeshadow shades really could be creamier and more pigmented.

Compared to eyeshadow palettes like those of Too Faced, Urban Decay and Lorac, Mac eyeshadows aren't as buttery smooth but they are professional eyeshadows that are made to be long-wearing and build up colour well. Overall I find that MAC eyeshadows have pretty much no fall out and they have amazing staying-power. I didn't actually start beauty blogging until 2014 when i created . Back then Makeup Geek was only in the process of creating samples ( some i actually still have today ) but MAC was the company that had the monopoly on the 'build your own palette' game. I started adding MAC eyeshadows to my collection four years ago when i first started lifestyle blogging.

I have found the best shades that flatter my dark brown eyes and my light-medium warm skin tone ( besides neutral browns and creams ) are Bronzes, Purples, Silvers and Blues, especially deep royal blue or Teals. Then brighter shades like teals, blues, purples, and pinks to really make our eyes pop. For brown-eyed girls the most flattering colours are neutral shades like chocolate browns, bronzes, coppers, and taupes. I have a lot of red undertone in my very dark brown eyes, so i tend to want to balance that out. I have a warm under-tone and warm and neutral eyeshadows seem to suit me the best. Obviously bringing your skin-tone into consideration helps us determine whether you should lean towards more warm or cool toned shades. Us ladies with brown eyes are pretty lucky that we can wear most colours. I have put three of my most worn everyday quads into this post in the hope that it might help or inspire anyone else with brown eyes. Having experimental playtime, along with researching which shades suit your eye colour the best can really help you to decide which eyeshadows should be incorporated into your MAC palette. This is where i think it is important to really experiment with a cheaper palette first to see which colours not only look the most flattering on you, but are also shades you would feel confident wearing. Most of us make the mistake of buying every colour of the rainbow, but not every eyeshadow colour is going to suit us or will be used. You need to decide if you are more of a neutral, cool-toned, or colourful eyeshadow kind of person. I'm very much a neutral eyeshadow lover but i do have a few pops of colour in my mac eyeshadow collection, in case i'm feeling a bit more daring. As mentioned briefly i feel the best way to start off making a MAC eyeshadow palette is to begin with a small quad, which is currently the the second from smallest palette that MAC does. Plus, it's easily fixed by making sure the magnet on the pans are strong.Mac is a cosmetics company that sells pan version eyeshadows and they also have their own palettes.

I find the magnets on the Duo to be a little weaker than the Single palettes, but since I have inserts, I don't worry too much about it. Besides, as a mere mortal, I really don't have any reason to be carrying around 24 lipsticks at one time, but it would be great for makeup artists or die-hard lipstick lovers! I do have the 24 well insert, but I find it too shallow for my liking.

I know! Craziness.Īnyway, I plan on making this a cheeks / lips palette. A month ago it would have set you back almost $60. All in all, this palette was less than $16 after tax.

So, I took advantage of the free express shipping promotion on the weekend and picked up another Large Duo Palette and a couple inserts.

All the inserts (12 well, 24 well, 6 blush, and 15 eyeshadow) are now $2 each (previously they were $11 each).

The Pro Eyeshadow Palette x 2 is now $6.

The Pro Eyeshadow Palette x 4 is now $10.

The Large Pro Palettes, single & duo, are now $10 each (previously they were $21 and $30 respectively).

Here's a little breakdown (I'm listing Canadian pricing, obviously US pricing is a couple dollars less): So, to say that I was surprised to see up to an 80% price decrease is an understatement. Usually companies lower production costs and keep the higher markup for more profit. I have to say, that's pretty rare to see. Apparently (from what I've read in the blogosphere), they dropped the prices a couple weeks ago claiming it's due to lowered costs in production. Did you know that MAC has dropped the prices for their Pro Palettes / inserts? I didn't until I was browsing their website on the weekend.
