MAC, as usual, comes up with color-coordinated eye shadow palettes every holiday. It usually churns out smoky, neutral and pink coordinated eye shadow palettes. It becomes a little predictable, but if you already have these colors, they make great gifts for the holidays.
It comes in a vintage-looking compact with faux pearls surrounding the perimeter of the palette. Right of the bat, if you love plums and pinks, you might want to take a peek into this palette. It has plums, pinks and purples that go quite well together.
As usual, it has Shadowy lady as the darkest color in the palette. It is a permanent color and is a blackened plum matte. While it can be a little frustrating that you see Shadowy Lady in any pink compact, I can see why. This is a perfect matte crease or outer lid color, great color to smokify the eye. Sensibility is a pale frosty pink. Plum Grand is a dirty frosty lavender in the veluxe pearl formula. Taupeless is an ice pink with silver sparkle. Magic Moor is a rich blackened plum with pearl. Subtly Elegant is a light grey blue in the matte formula. Fashion Brat is a dirty violet grey, and Nocturnelle is a pinked-up chrome purple frost.
I used the Keepsakes Plum Eyes in the look above. I can say that even though I already have many of these colors, it's a nice, compact palette to bring with me when I travel. It has coordinating shadows, it's light and convenient. Obviously, you can skip this if you have similar hues.
The MAC Holiday 2014 Keepsakes Plum Eyes Eye Shadow Palette retails for $39.50 US and 47.50 CAD.
