Mac Espresso is a muted golden brown matte eyeshadow. It is one of MAC's best-selling eyeshadows. I don't know why, but it was looking lighter than it actually is in most photos. So, I ended up with only one photo where it looks almost exactly like it does off camera. We all hate misleading photos & swatches, don't we?
Mac Espresso Swatch
Because Espresso is matte and brown it it so versatile! You can use it as an eyeshadow, as a liner, for eyebrows, and for contouring. It is easy to blend, pigmented, clingy (read: long wear), and it doesn't fly everywhere (no/less fallouts)
Nothing to dislike here.
In the following EOTD I just used Mac Espresso and Maybelline Colossal Volum' Mascara
- I applied it Espresso sheerly all over my lids & blended well
- Then using the same, I made the outer corners darker & blended into the inner half of the crease
- I used it to line my upper and lower lash lines too
- Mascara on top & bottom lashes.
Mac Espresso sure is one of those necessary eyeshadows for me. I like it a lot and I'm definitely repurchasing.
Price ~ Rs.680 (Pro palette). Single eyeshadow~ Rs.900

ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely. Perfect office/work look, too! I heard its great for filling in brows, so give it a try like that? As of now, I am not buying any make-up this month, but I will buy this in March. I have to get so much stuff from MAC, have been ignoring their permanent line too much lately.
