Hi
Love the blog.. I need your help. I mainly use Mac eyeshadows. but I now after a pallette which has colours in dark pigments and the I do not want a large quantity of product because i usually get sick for the colour. I am not to concerned about the price but I am after a pallatte which should definetly have blue, green and gold in it.. Any recommendations? I am not from USA, will need products which I can find in my part of the world..Thanks..
Hi nzgirl
I would recommend creating your own palette with MAC refill pans (the Pro Palette Refill Pans can be now bought from the MAC website).
I have a bunch of ready-made palettes and I dont use them as often as I use my custom built MAC one.
The colors that I recommend are:
Blue - deep truth, freshwater
Green - Humid, Steamy, Swimming, Sumptuous Olive
Gold - Goldmine, Ricepaper
You can buy a 15 slot empty Pro palette from MAC (http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT1556&PRODUCT_ID=514&QUERY=palette) and fill it with the above refills.
Hope this helps!
Thank you very much. I might do what you have suggested. another question if you dont mind. When i use the MAC Carbon eyeshadow as eyeliner on my lower lid, after a while i can see bits of black powder below my lower lid onto my cheeks.. Would you know why that is? I mix water with it before i apply with angle brush - maybe this couls be the reason?
nzgirl - that could possibly be the reason. I usually use Carbon to set my kajal below the waterline
Thanks for all your help.. Keep up the good work..
Your eyes are really beautiful! :)
