However, I promise you the other side will be with more fun colors! I have a mixture of both warm and cool tones! If you see a star (*) next to the name, it means that I highly recommend that shade! So ya, let's get into it! I decided to just stick to my neutrals to get more use out of them. I'm not sure when the other side will be complete, but in the future, I'll be posting about it! I started this palette either in January or February. So for this post, I'll only be showing you one side of the palette (15 eyeshadows). They can be used dry or wet (I prefer dry). Each eyeshadow comes with 1.3g of product. They give you MORE than enough to see if you like it.In terms of MAC eyeshadow shades and formulas, I really do like them! MAC has a huge variety of shades and finishes to choose from! The pigmentation on these are really nice! I noticed with some of the shades, they don't swatch well on your hand, but on the lid, they're really nice! They're not the smoothest eyeshadows I've played with, but they blend really nicely! If you prime your eyes properly, they can last up to 12 hours or even more! Normally in the pot, they're $19CAD a piece, but when you buy them just in a pan, it's $12CAD.
This will do it! When each of these eyeshadows is layered over Rubenesque, you can see how strong they become just in the swatches alone: MAC Rubenesque (L to R) Arena applied over a primer, Arena applied over Rubenesque (L to R) Off the Page applied over a primer, Off the Page applied over RubenesqueĪmazing how the addition of a simple paint pot can dramatically change how an eyeshadow behaves, isn’t it?! As mentioned in the first post I did on MAC paint pots, if you aren’t sold on buying a full size jar of one of MAC’s paint pots, I ordered samples from this websiteto try them myself.
Several ladies have written me in the past to ask about how to get Arena to show better on the lid. In this look, I chose to layer Off the Page and Arena over it after applied to the lid. Additionally, its duochrome quality is also great for layering under pink and yellow eyeshadows to set them ablaze! In today’s post, I’ll be showing you how easily it punches up your orange eyeshadows. The wonderful thing about this color is its versatility. Like many of MAC’s duochrome eyeshadows, it was only a matter of time before they turned that formula into a paint pot and formed the ever-lovely Rubenesque.
