Mac Lustre Eye Shadow in Restrospeck & Mac Veluxe Pearl Eye Shadow in Woodwinked
(£12.00 each)
Thought
I'd do a post on my favourite eye shadows. I was never much of a Mac fan
until recently, I always thought that their higher prices couldn't really be
justified, especially when there's such a good selection nowadays from a
'drugstore' brands, but after treating myself to these for the first time
around a year ago I pretty much use them all the time.
Retrospeck
is a 'Lustre', which I find means it's slightly more glittery/fine in its
texture once it's on a brush. Woodwinked is a 'Veluxe Pearl' and seems to
be more blendable and less fine when applying it. I usually use these
colours together, as Restrospeck works really well as a slightly shimmery base
and on the inner corners of my eyes, and I use Woodwinked on the outer corners
of my eyes and up and out of the eye socket. I would definitely recommend
both of these, especially as they work so well together for a smoky night-time
look, and Retrospeck is a good highlighter/base colour for daytime as well. I
do still think that Mac's prices are slightly extortionate and I do have some
eye shadows from the Look Beauty range which do last just as well/look just as
good as some other Mac eye shadows that I own, but as an occasional treat I
think it can sometimes be worth paying that little bit extra.
