Look Series ~ Shadowy Lady [Pre-Made Palettes]

Posted by Tamara in FotD, look series, looks, palette | 1 comment

Even though today is the first day of fall, I figured I would add the third installment to the Pre-Made Palette series. Just like the first one, this quad came out of MAC’s Cult of Cherry collection last fall.  It’s a beautiful cool toned palette, great for those who love purple.  The colours are extremely versatile and allow for subtle day looks or more intense evening looks.

My favourite colour in the quad is Smuged Violet. It’s a very pretty purple, and it’s unique in my collection. The texture is unique as well (though easy to work with), it is labelled as a frost but it strikes me as a fusion of a frost and a lustre.

As much as I love this quad, I definitely have had better luck when I use it with a similar toned base. My favourite base to use with it is MAC’s paint in ArtJam. This may be because of my skin tone, but the base just adds a depth that is otherwise absent.
