MAC Bare Study Paint Pot and Neutrals

Last Saturday, I trekked to my local MAC free-standing store and exchanged my 12 empty MAC containers for two shadows. I had to drive all the way to the store because my MAC counter at Nordstrom only accepts the empties in exchange for lipsticks. Anyways, I picked All That Glitters and Passionate shadows as my freebies, and I couldn't get any happier with my choices. I also got the 222 and 224 brushes, and although I have a whole barrage of eye brushes in different shapes and sizes, I understand why these two brushes (together with the 217 which I have) are the stars of eye makeup application. These make eye makeup application and blending a lot easier and fool-proof. I sure wish they'd accept MAC empties for brushes (fat chance, I know), because I wanna stock up on these babies!

For my look, I used Bare Study paint pot as base and I love the neutral shimmer it imparted. I used the All That Glitters eyeshadow that I just got on the lids, Satin Taupe shadow on the crease and outer lid, Embark shadow on the crease and outer V, Stila Jezebel shadow on crease and above crease and to blend into Satin Taupe, Vex shadow to highlight, Graphic Brown fluidline, black mascara. I likewise used MAC Lighswitch 3D glass and I thought it wouldn't be that pigmented, but it actually showed up against my Viva Glam V lipstick.
