It’s safe to say that I own WAY to many Mac products! I always tell myself no more and then somehow they still manage to end up in my makeup drawer 😉 Today I thought I would share my most used mac eye shadows and my go to soft smokey eye with you ladies.
You can’t go wrong with a soft smokey eye! You can pretty much wear it anywhere and for any occasion! For my go to look I use Haux on the lid, Corduroy in the crease and Folie in the outer corner (in a “V” motion). For more on my go to beauty product favorites you can also check out my previous post HERE.
I’m a huge fan of blending blending blending! It almost looks like one shade in the above picture but using the slightly different colors creates a little more depth to it. I always add a nude eyeliner in the bottom rim to make my eyes appear larger. Then I use my favorite drugstore liquid liner by NYC to create a little cat eye.
Could your skin be anymore flawless!?!?! Stunning, such a classy more "natural" look
thank you so much! xo
Gorgeous! I need to try the cat eye more. I get so stuck in my same makeup routine and it's time for a change haha

i hear you! I have WAY to many beauty products to not to be more creative with them!
Beautiful makeup ! I like the colors 🙂 if I may ask – what did you use to paint the lips? You look so pretty !!!
hi love on the lips is just NYX lipliner in Natural (its my go to natural looking lip and super inexpensive)
Gorgeous look! I am also addicted to Mac. It's just such a great brand with quality makeup. Their eye shadows are the best! My most used colors are Woodwinked, All That Glitters, Satin Taupe, and Bronze.
I agree their product is pretty great quality! I keep hearing about wood winked…ill have to add it to the list! xo
Beautiful, as always! I have to know what you use on your eyebrows… they're gorgeous and subtle

thanks mamas its a brow kit by Benefit LOVE IT! Im going to do a more in-depth brow post soon xo
Awww, you look amazing!!
thanks so much hun!
Gorgeous look!!!! I never wear eyeshadow. Whenever I see other girls wearing I love it but when I try it I don't like the way it looks on me. I think I need to practice more. You have the cat eye perfected. What are you wearing on your cheeks? It looks fabulous.
thanks so much hun! trust me i wasn't always good at doing makeup either it took some practice 😉 On my cheeks I'm wearing peaches blush and Nars albatross as a highlighter.
Gorg!! What do you use on your lips? Love the color and I have similar coloring. Thanks!!
thanks love its actually just NYX lipliner in Natural with chapstick xo
Hi Hun, My fav eyeshadows are romp, sable, cork, woodwinked (on the lid and crease), wedge (for the crease and my brows), nylon (inner corner highlight) and black tied to smoke it out.
What top are you wearing in these pics, it looks pretty!
thanks for sharing hun! As for my top its actually a dress from F21 XO
Can I ask what you are wearing on your cheeks and lips? Gorgeous look
of course! on the lips I'm wearing NYX lip liner in Natural. On my cheeks peaches blush by man and Nars highlighter in Albatross
my favorites are naked lunch, plummage and a few others which i don't know the names off the top of my head — but i agree, I love mac products so much : )

Im definitely adding plumage to the list! So many of you girls recommended it xo thanks for sharing hun!
girl, you are so not alone with the mac addiction, haha. BUT, I will say I'm in love with their pigments. Definitely not for everyday, but just the right pow to rev up your look for going out. My favorite one is tan. I've always been curious about their brushes. Do you use them?
ugh yes yes yes love their pigments they really do make a huge difference! As for brushes I do use some Mac brushes and some other brands as well. I should do a makeup brush post soon!
Were you blessed with nice skin (genetics) or do you have acne breakouts occasionally? I have acne. 🙁 Your face looks so smooth and poreless. You make everyone here jealous!
oh I for sure have breakouts as well. Finding good lighting to take my makeup pics always helps as well 😉
Oh girl your gonna be in trouble, Here our my favs: Vex, Quarry, ( you could wear these beautifully. Vex all over the lid and smoke out with Quarry) Scene, Carbonized,Sketch and Brun, My all time favorite lip liner is Mac also its Soar. Enjoy 🙂
ohhhh trouble! Thank you so much sharing and ill be adding Vex and Quarry to the list! eeeek! xo
Very nice! Love the subtle smokiness of this look. I need to go to a counter and find cranberry and amber lights–those have been on my wishlist for a while!

Beautiful look! I love my MAC eye shadows, they're such great quality. I only have 5 (for now) but my favourite is Satin Taupe as it's a perfect all rounder although Ricepaper is lovely for a neutral lid and Nylon for a highlight. xx
