MAC Inventive Eyes Quad

If I were to pick a favorite among MAC's limited edition eyeshadow quads, it would be Inventive Eyes hands-down. The colors are truly gorgeous but can be made dramatic or subtle, depending on the application. My favorite eyeshadow in the quad is Twillery. It is just the perfect wash for me; it really brightens up the eye area but is still very much office-friendly and neutral. I love this so much that I quickly acquired another one when I saw a girl sell it online. I am also beginning to love Vellum. I used to hate it with a passion and was about to dispose of it, but I realized that MAC included an otherwise boring, ugly color in the quad as a blender; this eyeshadow actually makes the entire look so seamless and blended to perfection. I now see tepid-colored shadows in this light now - they are supposed to be boring in order for the other colors to really stand out. These shadows make it their job to fade into the backdrop for the other stellar colors to shine. They are like back-up singers in a beautifully-sung ballad.

On another note, I'm really in love with Meow's foundation in Flawless Feline Naughty Abyssinian. I really feel it's my perfect shade, and that it really complements by predominantly yellow and some olive undertones. I got some samples of Manx, Meow's newest foundation breed, but I doubt if it could topple Naughty Abyssinian from being a top favorite. I also love the slip, feel, coverage and over-all staying power of this foundation. The feeling is very light, I feel like I have nothing on (and to think that Flawless Feline is Meow's heavy-coverage formula). I really believe that women should not stop until they find foundation shades that have truly captured their undertones and all its nuances spot-on.

Lastly, I have finished tags on my blog. Feel free to browse entry topics located at the left side bar.
