MAC Snow Ball Eye Compact/Gold - Makeup and Beauty Blog

Gooooooold!

I learned two shocking factoids — admittedly shocking! — related to vision and eyes in the last week, and the kickoff is that you're supposed to supervene upon your contact lens cases every three months in social club to avert getting an eye-borne bacterial infection (I saw information technology in a random video about contacts that someone posted on Facebook).

Were you already enlightened of this? Because I had no idea. Evidently, I'm disgusting, considering I commonly proceed my cases until I lose a cap, OMG!

As well mind blowing: the MAC Snow Ball Eye Compacts, 'cause they're shockingly good.

Dissimilar the majority of the MAC holiday palettes I've seen over the past something-number of years, most of which accept been passable, but not really memorable, the ii in this twelvemonth'southward Snow Ball holiday collection are downright memorably groovy.

The kickoff is called Rose Gold, and it's my favorite of the two, but the other 1, Gold, is no slouch either. I simply recall it's maybe a smidgen less epic than Rose Gold…but we'll come back to that in 2 swishes of a tabby's tail.

Either manner, with both of them, the quality is there, and I'm all for it!

MAC Snow Ball Eye Compact/Gold ($29.50)

Like the Rose Gold Compact, the Gold one is $29.fifty and comes with half dozen pulverization eyeshadows. Two of the shadows are flashy, glittery Dazzleshadows (there'south a white gold and a yellow gold), and other iv are powder shadows in MAC'due south regular eyeshadow formula (a satiny nude peach; a mid-tone satiny brown; a matte charcoal; and a sparkly, glittery grayish black that isn't quite equally sparkly as the two Dazzleshadows).

This eye await would piece of work with nearly lip colors, but I bet it would look super cool with nudes, pinks and reds.

The Gold 1 is much more neutral and less pink than the Rose Gold i, and I think it'due south more often than not more article of clothing. I've worn it on top of MAC's fabled Prep + Prime 24-Hour Extend Eye Base and oasis't experienced whatsoever skipping, patchiness or fallout during application, and the shadows keep going and going and going, so the wear fourth dimension? Expert stuff.

Come through, shimmer

Although I call up the shadows in the Gold one could work well on many more peel tones than the shadows in the Rose Gilded i, you'd almost definitely have to incorporate something similar MAC Soba or Cork as a transition colour, considering if you lot look at how the Gold palette is bundled, on one side you've got all of your lighter shadows, and all of your darker shadows on the other, but in that location aren't really whatsoever colors in the middle to span transition between them.

Having something to bridge the gap between the lighter and the darker shadows is practically a necessity, and that's where golden brownish Soba and/or Cork could assist.

Only the whisper of a kitten motion-picture show (I layered both of the black shadows in the palette)

If you'd prefer to streamline and don't want to add anything else into the mix, the Gilded compact would be a proficient choice for uncomplicated centre looks. I might use the nude peach in the crease, 1 of the gold glitters on my lids, and and then line my lash lines with either the brown or one of the black shades. Super easy and not fussy at all!

It looks similar information technology should have chocolate inside, doesn't it?

In case you're feeling it, Aureate is a limited edition holiday palette, then you might want to snap it up sooner rather than afterward. It'south at MAC counters and online right now.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty aficionado,
