I never get any powder fallout under the eye, when I use these shadows and they wear really well, without fading, but that may be just the way I apply them (pack on the shadow, blend, build, blend and so on). They have such high pigmentation and colour payoff is always really good, even when I neglect an eyeshadow primer. On a daily basis, I will usually turn to my beloved MAC eyeshadows, as I know they will never let me down, whatever look I'm after.

This way of holding and storing your shadows is so convenient for both travelling and keeping your makeup in order. That means, if you fill a whole 15 eyeshadow palette, it will cost you a whopping £170.50, which is rather excessive! You can purchase smaller palettes of either two or four shadows, to kickstart your collection with your most favourite shades. I have to say, the price of the palette has jumped up considerably, since I last bought one. These days it has its presence in 90 countries and offers 50 different lines of products.Although it can become quite expensive, I love that MAC allow you to build up your own palette, customising your personal, makeup collection. These shadows are available as an individual pot (£12) or a pan refill (£10), that can easily slot into a palette, that you purchase separately. The uniquely wide range of their makeup, the combination of glamour and elegance with street style and practicality, professional makeup artists in place of regular shop assistants, and a bit of a rebellious spirit – that’s what has kept MAC beauty unique and popular. The makeup artist and photographer Frank Toskan along with the hairdresser Frank Angelo created their own line of makeup products that met the standards for editorial and artistic makeup, causing a veritable earthquake in the beauty industry. The company Make-up Art Cosmetics was established in Toronto, Canada, as an answer to the lack of quality makeup on the market. No wonder it’s become more than a beauty brand for millions of people.

The brand works with famous artists, fashion designers and pop culture icons and their motto is “All Ages, All Races, All Genders”. Professional makeup by M♺♼ has been dictating the trends from fashion shows’ backstage for years.
