If I want to change things up in the crease or outer V I use green smoke.
Shale and arena are my ‘underrated’ picks: two great shades that don’t get enough love. Woodwinked is by far my favorite shade as you can use it all over the lid, in the crease or wherever and it will always look great. For the inner corner it’s a toss between dazzlelight and nylon. When it comes to textures I love the frost and veluxe pearl finishes most and that’s what I tend to have most of as well. While in row 4 I go with expensive pink, green smoke and star violet mostly. Row 3 is devoted to shale, sketch and retrospeck. In row 2 I use woodwinked, satin taupe and mulch the most. My favorite shades are arena, nylon and dazzlelight from the top row. Row 4 (bottom): green smoke (lustre), humid (frost), star violet (veluxe pearl), coppering (veluxe pearl), expensive pink (veluxe pearl), paradisco (frost).Row 3: shale (satin), blackberry (matte), sketch (velvet), cranberry (frost), amber lights (frost), retrospeck (lustre).Row 2: antiqued (veluxe pearl), mulch (velvet), swiss chocolate (matte), wedge (matte), patina (frost), satin taupe (frost), woodwinked (veluxe pearl).Row 1 (top): yoghurt (matte), naked lunch (frost), malt (matte), arena (satin), nylon (frost), dazzlelight (veluxe pearl), vanilla (matte).
These are all colors that I hardly ever used because they either didn’t go very well with the other colors in the palette or because they aren’t colors I use very often. The eyeshadows I took out of this palette and put in a Z-palette are Swish (frost), Lucky Green (veluxe pearl), Jest (frost) and and Sushi Flower (satin). Wedge will be a great color to blend out looks into the crease and Swiss Chocolate will add a bit of warmth and goes with the purples, taupes and pinks that I use most. Malt is a very neutral, almost fleshtoned shade, which will go with any shade I already own. The three shades go together as a trio, but also work nicely together with the shades that I already have. I went with malt to use as an all over lid shade, wedge to go into the crease and swiss chocolate to go into the crease and outer V. Like I said, I felt I missed a couple of good matte shades to make the palette more versatile. > Swiss chocolate: muted reddish brown (matte)
ARENA MAC EYESHADOW UPDATE
Let’s first look at the three new shades I purchased to update the palette. In total, the palette holds 26 shadows because I took out the divider. They are also much more expensive than this one ever was and it still works fine, so I see no reason to make that splurge. I find the new palettes a bit too expensive to buy only to replace this one because they are new. I would like to get a new one, preferably two, so I can fit all of my MAC eyeshadows into one spot again, but for now this will do. As you can see I still have the old palette. I put all the basic lid shades at the top as well as highlight colors, neutral shades went into the second row and pops of colors in rows 3 and 4.
I went to MAC, got myself some matte eyeshadows and reorganized my palette. Now, 3 years after completing my palette, I noticed a few colors I wasn’t using much and that I was missing a couple of good matte shades for blending and crease colors. I embarked on putting together the palette over the course of a year and a half, starting in late 2010. When I first got into make up, I decided to immediately get started on putting together a palette, rather than relying on individual shadows. Kirsten If you like those try Honesty.MAC do some of the best eyeshadows on the planet.cate For any eyeshadow beginners like myself who are teens, I recommend Stila's Kitten.I for one love color! Perhaps I'll write an article more geared towards colored shadows. Amber Tan good point! Then again, people who are just starting out or who are new might be intimidated by color and might be less inclined to try it out at first.Ya Bello, blue and mauve are also versatile, so is mild green.Wendy Those who are new to eye make up neutral eye shadow is the way to go like myself.You could have added another more interesting shade. Christina There are so many superior black eyeshadows to MAC Carbon, even in the drug store wet n wild is better.Show me purples, pinks, greens, blues and teals! Now those are pretty! Beener83 Copperplate is my favourite from Mac.
