My MAC Neutral Eyeshadow Palettes ♥


Hello fellow makeup addicts

I don't think I've ever said this before but MAC eyeshadows are my absolute favorites. I've tried so many different brands - including high street brands like Maybelline, L'Oréal and Sleek and high end brands like Dior, Urban Decay, YSL and Nars - but I always felt like none of them could hold a candle to MAC eyeshadows. In fact, they are highly pigmented, smooth in application, easily blendable and cause minimal, if any, fall-down. 

13€ might seem a lot for a single eyeshadow pan but in my opinion, they are definitely worth the price. 

I do own 2 big eyeshadow palettes and a small one but I'm only going to focus on the more wearable and work/school/university appropriate shades, so basically the ones that I personally get the most use out of.


As you can probably imagine, the purpose of this blog post is not to give a detailed review on every single eyeshadow (since I love them all, I would just be repeating myself over and over) but it's about swatching the different shades in order to allow you to get a general overview of my favorite colors.

Let's begin :)

  3. I gave away/sold all my MAC shadows except one - All That Glitters, so would have to say thats my fave. I don't know what it is but MAC shadows just don't do it for me. Your swatches look great and reviews are always positive but the few I've tried were terrible quality, so bad that if I hadn't bought them directly from MAC I would be convinced they were fake. I love the look of Satin Taupe and Expensive Pink though.

  4. I would love to try MAC eyeshadows, but for some odd reason, MAC only sell the normal eyehsadows (the ones that we have to depot) wich cost...21 euros. And some stores won't accept the cases for back to mac. And they won't sell the pro palettes T_T
    For that reason, I end up getting Inglot eyehsadows (you should totally try them! they cost around 6 euros each and they are amazing!)

    I really loved some of the colours that you swatch here. I'll place them into my mac whishlist of eyeshadows!
