My Mac Palette

I am a big YouTube watcher and one of my favourite things to watch is makeup tutorials, makeup hauls and makeup organisation. A lot of people I watch have shown their viewers their Mac palette which has actually influenced me to buy certain colours. I thought it may be interesting to some people that read this blog to see my Mac palette. I am in no way trying to show off. I have collected this palette over quite some time and used my own money to buy all of it myself.

My Mac palette is quite neutral other than a couple of newer colours. I would like to eventually build up a second palette with more adventurous colours.

I will talk about each colour from left to right, starting from the top line.

The first colour is Brule. In all honestly, I hardly ever wear this colour. It is the lightest colour I have and I only use it as a sort of under colour if I am using bright colours.

The second colour is Kid. This is one of the first colours I bought it and I like to use it if I am doing a really subtle eye look, something light like this through the crease is really nice.

The third colour is wedge. I think I bought this colour with Kid but I use them both for the same purpose.

Next is the well known Charcoal Brown. I use this for my eyebrows, in the crease or to darken up light natural makeup. I really do like this colour. I bought this by watching a Tanya Burr YouTube video and then becoming obsessed with the colour.

The last on the top line is Brun. This is another colour like Charcoal Brown. I use it for the same things on my eyes and I also use it sometimes in my eyebrows to darken them up a bit. I may need to do this when I have really heavy eye makeup on or when I get my eyebrows tinted just to fill in any sparse areas.

The first colour on the second line you can tell is well loved. It is All That Glitters. This was my very first Mac eye shadow purchase and I use it a lot! I wear this most days blended all over the lid with something like Charcoal Brown very lightly in the crease.

The second colour is Sable. I would say that this is like a darker version of All That Glitters. Not my favourite colour.

The third colour is Mulch. This is a very pretty colour that I like to wear blended all across the eyelid and just blended out.

The next colour, Satin Taupe is another popular colour in the YouTube world. I like to wear this colour a lot in the winter all over the lid with a darker colour in the crease.

The last colour in this row is Smut. This colour goes quite well with Satin Taupe or just as a eyeliner, maybe smoked out.

The first colour on the last line is Patina. This is still quite neutral but it has other tones in in that make it a really pretty colour that is different from the others.

The next colour is definitely not neutral. This is Cranberry, again another that is popular in the YouTube world. I like to use this with Patina.

Another colour I like to use with Patina is the next colour in the palette. This is Sketch. Patina and Sketch create a really pretty smoky look together.

The next colour is Beauty Marked. To be honest, when I bought this colour I thought it was going to be amazing but was disappointed with it when it was delivered and since I have not ordered anything from Mac online without swatching it in a store first. Looking at it in the pan it is a beautiful colour but when applies the glitter you see is not really there at all. A colour that is identical is Blackheart in the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette but the difference is that the Urban Decay one is very good and the Mac one is not.

Lastly we have Carbon. The typical matte black colour from Mac. I use this whenever I am darkening my eye makeup because it is not a very strong black.

That is the last of the colours in my Mac Palette. My Palette is not perfect and does not contain all colours that I am perfectly happy with but I am sure with a little more searching I will find all the colours I love!
