How many eyeshadows in a mac palette

I love the simplicity, class and elegance of Mac pro palette. It is sleek, black, made of sturdy plastic and features a clear cover with three well-known letters. This see-through cover allows you to see all the color choices you have for a nice makeup look.

The inside part of the palette is magnetic and the eyeshadow refills have a little magnet glued to the pan for a perfect adhesion. Eyeshadow pans stay secure, thanks to this simple technology. You can complete your large pro palette with various plastic inserts, which keep your palette organized and neat-looking.

For example, you can insert a cream color base and blush insert for your collection of MAC makeup foundations and blushes. Well, I'm building a basic eyeshadow collection, therefore a plastic 15 eyeshadow insert that holds eyeshadow refills in place, works perfect for me. The large insert is also made of a sturdy plastic and features rounded openings on one side, so the magnets on the back part of pan sticks to the bottom of the palette. Large single-sided pro palette is big enough to accommodate 15 eyeshadow refills, but it still looks quite petite and convenient, for that reason customizable palette doesn't clutter the vanity.

Of course, not everyone needs even 15 eyeshadow colors. Let's be honest, for a perfect everyday look it is enough to have only four basic colors. You can opt out a large palette and customize your own compact quad or duo MAC palette with the eyeshadow colors you are going to be using every day.

The small customizable palettes are incredibly useful, because you can throw one of them in your makeup bag. Now, it is time to move on to my little MAC eyeshadow collection. For starters, I've decided to pick basic matte colors, which I'm going to use for blending and shading. Later I plan to add a few vivid eyeshadows for color accents and, maybe a few glittering shades.

So, I got five matte eyeshadows: malt, quarry, espresso, embark and carbon; one velvet eyeshadow called vanilla. Two colors I already had in my collection - sable with gorgeous frost finish and velvety beauty marked. I will try my best to describe the shade and texture of each eyeshadow. Vanilla eyeshadow is described as peachy-ivory color with reflects and velvet finish.

I would describe it as a matte ivory eyeshadow with reflecting particles, but they are almost invisible once applied on the skin. The color is amazing, I really like how it looks and blend, but I was expecting it to be lighter. As a cheekbone highlighter Vanilla is not bright and reflecting enough, but it is perfect for the brow bone.

Malt is a soft pinkish-beige color, perfect for blending crease or an all-over the lid everyday eyeshadow. Usually it is hard to blend matte eyeshadows, but Malt blend on the skin easily and seamlessly.

It is a very versatile, but subtle color and I highly recommend you give it a try. You can use Malt as a base color for smoky eyes or apply it over the lid for a delicate everyday look. It is perfect as transitioning color, easy to blend and just as versatile as Quarry. I know this shade is not very popular among MAC lovers, but, in my opinion, it is a must-have shade for everyone who likes to play with cool-toned eyeshadows.

Presented as a muted golden brown Espresso is one more versatile eyeshadow in my collection. It is a bit warmer than Quarry and Malt, but I wouldn't say it is a golden brown. Warmer medium brown with rich pigmentation this eyeshadow is great as an all-over color for soft neutral smokey eye makeup.

If you need a good transitioning color for your browns, I suggest you go for Espresso. You can even use this shade to fill in your eyebrows. Need a little help to fill in and define your eyebrows?

Embark eyeshadow is an intense reddish brown color with matte finish. Rich and highly-pigmented, this eyeshadow reminds of noble redwood tree. I expected this shade to be more red, but it is very appealing color. You can use Embark to intensify the overall eye makeup in the outer corners of the eyes and lower lash line. I plan to create a reddish smokey eye with this eyeshadow, blending the crease with Malt or Quarry.

Sable [Frost]. A gold-plum Sable eyeshadow with bronze pearl is my Mac old-timer. I don't even remember when I got it and still have plenty of product. Now, when my Sable has a home, I plan to use it more frequently than before. To me Sable is a plum mid-brown eyeshadow and I love its beautiful frosty finish and pigmented formula. Sable is also very versatile shade and will work well on every eye color.

Apply Sable on your eyelid and blend it with Quarry for an everyday smokey with frosty twist!
