Everyone received a cute pamphet with a few face charts featuring some looks. This was my first good MAC makeover (I’ve had about 5 others that turned out horrible) and now that I know a couple of the good artists, I will definitely request them for future events. I had my makeup done by one of my favorites sales associates who I’ve shopped with for years, so she knew my taste and preferences. The first one I’d like to write about is the MAC Fashion Forward Event I attended at Nordstrom. Hopefully this will give you ideas on some pretty color combinations of products.
Let me know if I have missed out on anything.I’d like to start a series of posts to archive some looks I love and also some great makeovers I’ve had at some events. Hope you find this post useful and can choose your next MAC eye shadow wisely. Velvet – These are a mix of matte and semi-matte some with a hint of shimmer and sparkle while some have glitter in them. Some of the popular ones in this finish are Woodwinked, All that Glitters, Coppering, Antiqued, Expensive Pink etcħ. They are very smooth, easy to blend and most of them are well pigmented. They are similar to Frost but with a more metallic shimmer. Veluxe Pearl – These are probably the most loved because of their finish and texture. Examples are Shroom, Cork, Folie, Club etcĦ.
If you are looking for an eye shadow that is halfway between a matte and a frost, check out the Satins. Majority of them are semi-mattes with a subtle sheen. Some can be totally matte while some are frosty. Satin – Satin eye shadows also vary in finish. Examples are Blanc Type, Copperplate, Handwritten etcĥ. Some people however find these hard to blend. Matte² – These are known as Matte Squared and the difference between these and Matte ones is that Matte² shadows have a buttery texture with very good color payoff.
Some of the good mattes are Swiss Chocolate, Soft Brown, Carbon etc.Ĥ. Some can be excellent and very pigmented while others, specially the LE ones can be really dry.

Matte – These have no shimmer, glitter or sheen. MAC Lip Balm Makeup Restore Lip Skin Radiance. Typically these are dry, have chunky glitter and a lot of fall out. Lustre – avoid these if you are not a fan of glitter coz that’s what they have in plenty. Some examples of Frosts are Sable, Satin Taupe, Amber Lights, Bronze, Ricepaper, Humid etc.Ģ. The con is that not all shades are very pigmented. The best thing about the Frost eye shadows are that they are shimmery but does not have an overdose of glitter. Frost – these have fine shimmer that give a shining iridescence finish.
So here’s a short guide to the different MAC eye shadow finishes with examples of some popular shades to give a better idea.ġ. A lot of you might know much more than me but a lot of you might not. I was quite ignorant of the difference between all these finishes till some time back but I did my R&D and here I am sharing with you my knowledge. We all know that MAC has a mind boggling array of eye shadows and in the store, it can get a bit overwhelming with all these shades and on top of that the different finishes. I started off with buying Sleek’s i-divine palettes (which are awesome) and now veering towards getting some MAC. Recently though and maybe it’s all because of blogging, I have discovered a passion to collect eye shadows. Even though I did buy them, I was never too enthusiastic about eye makeup and more interested in adding lipsticks to my stash. I must admit that I was never an eye shadow girl.
