MAC Colourizations Pro Palette Eye Shadow X 2: You Can't Easily Pop In and Out of This Double Feature - Makeup and Beauty Blog

The very first time I walked up to a MAC eyeshadow brandish example, my eyes rolled back in my head. Not because of eyeshadow ecstasy, heed yous; this was years ago, and at the time I didn't know Soft Brown from chocolate delight. No, looking downwards at those rows of sleek, little pots, as beads of perspiration formed on my brow, I was utterly and completely overwhelmed.

What I could have used back then was something like the new MAC Pro Palette Middle Shadows X 2 ($25 each US; $30 in Canada). Designed to take the guesswork out of choosing which eyeshadows to pair past teaming two coordinating colors together in a cute lil' palette (and eliminating what was a major source of makeup stress for me way dorsum when), these eight duos dance onto MAC counters with the new Colourizations Collection Baronial 4 in N America, and internationally, some fourth dimension next month.

MAC calls them, "daring pairings," and from the half dozen palettes I've seen and then far, some of the couplings, like the orange and navy in Double Characteristic 8, appear more adventurous than others (even if information technology isn't that risky, I still really similar Double Characteristic 5'south pairing of that frosty peach and the duochrome brown with dark-green pearl).

The pans are rumored to take been magnetized. Potentially very cool, right? Well, in the name of makeup science, I managed to pry one out this afternoon.

Permit'due south see… Information technology did not go well.

With a prophylactic pin and elbow grease, I wrestled out the orange shade from Double Feature 8, desperately dissentious it in the process. In hindsight, I probably could have thought of a more elegant means of extraction, but I didn't see any magnets. These suckers are glued in their pans. To be sure, I placed a refrigerator magnet in the circle where the pans rest. I didn't feel anything, except along the edges of the palette, because they exercise have a magnetized lock.

The shadows vary widely in terms of pigment, ranging from super sheer to opaque, and the textures appear to vary, too. Almost of the shades here experience soft and smooth to me (OMG! Double Feature 4's ochre shade feels like BUTTAH!), although a few of the matte pans and satins expect a little chalky on my skin.

I dig these duos a lot. The colors combos look fun, and they have the guesswork out of doing my eye makeup in the morning. My favorite way to work 'em? Applying each palette's lighter shade on my lid, blending out the edges (with either a finger or castor), and lining my upper and lower lash lines with the darker shade. They're easy like that. 🙂

MAKEUP AND Beauty BLOG RATING: A- (some of the matte and satin colors look a little chalky on me)

Why is eating exterior so darn fun?

It'south nice and warm here tonight, so El Hub and I decided to have our dinner al fresco on the deck. Tonight Chef Tabs prepared a nice grilled snapper with a tomato and antic sauce, and wild rice and steamed spinach with lemon. 🙂

When was the final time you had a repast outside? Was it a picnic, a barbeque, or maybe luncheon at a eating house with outdoor seating?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty aficionado,

Karen
