MAC Holiday 2014: Keepsakes Plum Eyes Eye Shadow Palette Swatches, Look, Review

Press sample















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.
