Stash: Eye Shadow Palette – Highlight [M.A.C.]

Posted by Tamara in palette, stash, swatches | 3 comments

After a bit of a hiatus, it’s back to the stash!

This may look slightly familiar as I did an overview of my palettes a few months ago. I decided that I would go back and do swatches, since it seems to be a pretty popular request. It’s one thing to see something in the pan, it’s something entirely different when you can see it on the skin.

The first palette is my highlight palette, which looks different than it did last time.  I have no idea why, but I’m very finicky about my palettes and how they’re set up.  With the addition of some new colours I wanted to move things around to give a better flow.  The good thing about this?  I have two new slots open for highlights!  LOL

And yes, there are some pressed pigments in there.  If you want to see how I did that, you can check out my video for a full demonstration.  I love having them integrated with my eye shadows, they get used so much more frequently  now!

Just a note regarding Motif and All That Glitters.  Motif just shows up as a sheer pink wash, which was originally a huge disappointment.  But I’ve found that works as a great highlight for pinks or to switch up a neutral look.  All That Glitters is a gorgeous nude-peach, which is pretty close to my skin tone – perfect for a more subtle look.

Highly-pigmented powder. Applies evenly, blends well.
