MAC Mocha Blush

Mocha was the first MAC blush I bought. I went in planning to try shades such as Well Dressed and Melba, however, I was completely distracted by Mocha and it's dusty plum-pink colour. I didn't leave empty-handed. 

Mocha is described by MAC as a soft plum-pink, which I regard as being fairly accurate. I think it is such a pretty shade on paler skintones. Given its plum undertones, I do tend to keep this for colder months. Mocha is a matte shade, which I think suits the subtle nature of the blush. 

Mocha comes in the standard MAC blush packaging. While there is nothing particularly fancy about it, it is functional and compact, making it ideal for travel. MAC blushes cost €21.50 and are available from MAC counters or online (here or here).

MAC Well Dressed Blush

 MAC blushes are some of the best in the beauty world and today I thought I would share my most worn shade, Well Dressed. Well Dressed is described my MAC as an "immaculate pink". It is light blue-based pink that is quite sheer when applied, though it is buildable. It comes in a satin finish and while it looks like there is some slight shimmer in pan, it is pretty much matte on the cheeks. I think this a lovely colour if you have a light skintone and don't like a dramatic blush. A medium skintone might be able to wear this shade, however, it would need to worked with a bit more.

Swatched heavily

Well Dressed comes in the typical MAC blush packaging. While it is pretty simple, I happen to really like the packaging as it is quite compact and doesn't have any unnecessary bulk, making the blushes a good pick for travel. MAC blushes retail for €21.50 and are available from MAC counters or online (link here).

MAC Cork Eyeshadow

After talking about my favourite champagne, all over the lid shade last week (post here), today I thought I would talk about my most used crease colour, MAC's Cork eyeshadow.



























Cork is described on the MAC website as being a muted golden brown. I would personally describe it as a medium warm matte brown shade. As I said I tend to primarily use cork in the crease. I typically use shimmery shades all over the lid and think a matte colour in the crease creates a nice contrast. Cork was one of the first MAC shadows I bought (along with Woodwinked, Shroom and All That Glitters) and as remained one of my most-used crease colours. While I have a cool-toned complexion, I have blue eyes so I like wearing warm-tones on my eyes.

MAC eyeshadows are available in individual pots (€15) or in pan form (€11.50). I personally buy most of mine in pan form and keep them in MAC palettes, which are available for purchase separately. MAC eyeshadows are available in Ireland from Brown Thomas or BT2, or from House of Fraser online (link here).

Do you have any favourite MAC eyeshadows?
