Other than the light purple and the rosy pink shadow, everything is pretty bright and loud in here! I find some of my Sleek palettes a little hard to use due to the colour selection, but this one is really great, provided of course that you like bright colours. There isn't an obvious highlighter shade in it (the white one is too frosty for highlighting, better in the inner corner/tearduct area), but if your collection is even a quarter of mine, I'm sure you will own a highlighter shade to use with it.Īll in all I'm very pleased with the palette and other than my usual compaints (put the shade names on the palette somewhere rather than the see through protective sheet, get rid of the applicator, stop putting the price up by a quid every year) it's a really nice one to have.
I have done a few nice looks with this, although I still haven't used the bright coral shade (which I guess would also make a nice blush, if only the pans were bigger) and the black one. They swatched very nicely, with the exeption of the matte ones which swatched okay, but actually all of them applied, blended and stayed really well on my eyelids.
Some (most) are shimmery/frosty and there are 3 matte ones too. The eyeshadows come in a good variety of shades, you get yellow, green, teal, blue, coral, pink, the lot.
#Mac cosmetics eyeshadow in aqua swatch full size
I am really anxious to try more colors but since they are on the more expensive side, I will have to buy them as I can afford them.The palette comes in a gorgeous cardboard sleeve, but inside the sleeve it's the usual matte black palette with a full size mirror in the lid, 12 eyeshadows and a double ended applicator. These are available on Sephora only right now and they are $22.00 each. But ALL shadows do that on me without a primer, so I don’t think that speaks to the quality of these or anything. One thing to keep in mind is they may be waterproof, but they are not crease-proof, at least not on me with my greasy-ass lids! I didn’t have on a primer (I usually use Too Faced or Urban Decay) and after about 2 hours, they creased a lot. I just slapped some on with my finger and blended it out. Just a quick and dirty pic of Turquoise on my lid. Emerald Green is more of what I think of as a grass green, it’s very “spring-like” in color.Īnd they do NOT budge! This swatch is after I wiped HARD with a wet paper towel at least 7-8 times trying to get it off! Very waterproof indeed! The are also packed with “mother of pearl” particles to give off a luminous glow.Īs you can see from the swatches these really are very pigmented and bright! The Turquoise color is a beautiful medium aqua blue.
They have an extremely creamy & smooth texture. They come in an array of colors, 22 in all, and I have two to show you today.īasically what these are, are waterproof cream eyeshadows. Make Up For Ever has a new line of eye creme colors out called Aqua Cremes. If you haven’t yet subscribed, please do so! 🙂 Also some of this will be shown on my YouTube channel in video format rather than a post, but when I do videos, I always will post them on here also. I am thinking it might be on a totally different website, but that remains to be seen. I am still toying with exactly how I am going to bring you these reviews once my new blog is up. If things work out and this takes off, maybe I will be able to someday show more products. For now at least I will be showing the stuff that jumps out at me personally, and what I would normally purchase. I won’t be sticking to one brand or anything either, it will run the gamut from inexpensive drugstore makeup all the way to the more expensive lines. I rarely even do that with nail polish because I find it boring and uninspired when all people do is post promo pics. What I won’t be showing (for the most part) is a bunch of promo pics for upcoming collections. For me it’s easier to swatch makeup than nail polish because it’s so much quicker and you don’t have to be as precise as polish and layer on coats, do clean-up, etc. I do plan on doing makeup reviews now because the fact is, I love makeup as much if not more than nail polish. I think some people maybe were worried I wouldn’t be covering nails anymore, which I will! I think I should have made it a little more clear that it didn’t mean I would stop doing nail polish swatches, this would be in addition to that. Remember when I said I was interested in doing cosmetics reviews and I did that little poll? Over 53% of you said you would like to see them, 13% said they didn’t care (which I take as a yes), almost 4% were “Other” and then about 30% said no.
