Great eye shadow. I will purchase more colors. M from Scottsdale,AZ. Applies smooth, stays on all day with a primer. Shelly from Payson Utah. I love Mac stuff. An eye shadow staple. Kimber0917 from New Jersey. Some eyeshadows are a hit and miss from MAC, but the matte shadows never disappoint. Anyway, above is a photo showing you how I store my MAC eyeshadows. I like to keep them sorted by color family to stay organized. Most of my favorites are housed in the “Neutrals” palette. Top 15 MAC Eyeshadows Carbon. My most used black eyeshadow. I use this color for many different purposes but mostly for eyeliner or defining the outer V.

A few months back I did a post about Mac eyeshadows. I have found myself becoming more daring with my eye makeup since I started blogging, so decided to do an updated top 10 Mac eyeshadows.

I have been collecting my Mac eyeshadows for about 2 years now, and I used to buy around 2 a month, sometimes more. I haven’t bought a new Mac eyeshadow in ages, as my 3 palettes are full now and I want to use up what I have. If you know you are going to buy more than 2 or 3 Mac eyeshadows I seriously recommend investing in a palette. An empty palette will cost you €18, or you can buy this palette from Make Up For Ever for €14.50. It has a metal bottom and will hold much more eyeshadows than the Mac palette. It will also hold other brands of eyeshadows, making it perfect for travelling.

The colours I have chosen below, will suit most eye colours and can be used to create day and night looks. I would love to know what your favourite eyeshadows are.

Blanc Type

As you can tell from the picture, this is a much loved eyeshadow. When looking for a neutral base colour, I find myself reaching for Blanc Type above all others. This eyeshadow has a matte finish. It is a creamy beige colour, that is seriously pigmented. A little goes a long way with this one. This is best used as a base colour.

Woodwinked

Woodwinked it by far my most used eyeshadow. It is definitely in my top 3 Mac eyeshadows. It is a warm red toned brown colour, with a bit of a metallic shine. It is has a veluxe pearl finish . Woodwinked can be worn in so many ways. I love to wear it on its own all over the lid and blend it up into the crease. Woodwinked is such a special colour, because when it is blended out it looks like you have a few different colours on, that were blended in beautifully. This eyeshadow is a must and works on all eye colours. It is also perfect for people that are not overly confident with applying lists of different eyeshadows.

Sushi Flower

Every single time I use Sushi Flower, I aways say to myself, ” oooooh I LOVE this”. Sushi Flower looks like a very scary colour, but my god it is gorgeous. Sushi Flower is a medium dark pink colour, with a satin finish. I like to wear this in the crease as a transition colour, but over the summer I will wear it on the lid the odd time. Again this colour suits most eye colours, but would look really great on brown or blue eyes.

Amber Lights

Amber Lights is another very special colour. When this is applied onto blue eyes, holy moly, they seriously pop. It is a really rich warm toned, coppery bronze and has a frost finish. This is suited to most eye colours, but if you have blue eyes you need this. I wear this in so many ways. In the crease with blanc type on the lid and embark on the outer corners. Or on the lid with orange in the crease and embark on the outer corners. This is another Mac colour in my top 3

Beauty Marked

The pictures do not do this eyeshadow any justice. This is the most gorgeous blacked burgundy colour, with a hint of shimmer running through it. It has a velvet colour and is best used as an outer corner colour, or I sometimes wear it all over the lid, blended out for a smoky eye look.

Cranberry

Oh Cranberry, you gorgeous thing you. Cranberry is fabulous berried red colour with a frost finish. This is another colour that really makes blue eyes pop. I like to wear it on the lid, with a light brown like kid in the crease. This is another must have for blue eyed ladies.

Embark

Embark is a very unusual colour. It is a very rich brown with some red undertones. It has a matte finish. I use this more as an outer corner colour, but it blends so well that it can be used in many different ways.

Sketch

Sketch is dark burgundy brown with a velvet finish. Sketch was one of the first colours I ever bought and I wear it in lots of different ways. My favourite is to wear it in the crease with any light neutral colour on the lid. This suits all eye colours.

Patina

Patina is such an undervalued eyeshadow.This is another great colour like Woodwinked, for those who aren’t too confident at applying lots of different colours. It is a golden brown colour, with a little bit of a shine to it. It is great for any colour eyes, but because it has a lovely golden warmth to it, it is brilliant for blue eyes. It can be applied all over the lid, or as I like to do, in the crease with woodwinked on the lid.

Coppering

Right now, Coppering is my absolute favourite Mac eyeshadow. I recently did a tutorial with this shadow. It is a rich copper colour, with a veluxe pearl finish. This eyeshadow is so easy to work with. It can be worn in so many different ways, but I love to just wear it on it’s own blended up into the crease. It suits most eye colours, but for blue eyes this is a must.

Eyeshadows For Mac Pro

Chill Insurance asked me “Do you prefer to stay in or go out during the winter months?” During the winter I barely budge from the couch. My routine consists of pyjamas, fluffy slippers and face masks! However, as soon as March hits, I begin to get an itch to become somewhat of a social butterfly again. I don’t know if it is the new brighter clothes hitting the shops or the new makeup releases that have me dying for a night out. Spring time means a change in makeup, so for this collaboration I have picked out a few of my favourite item that are both new and old to…
