And I feel that they’re all that fantastic sort of color that helps tie together a look–they’re almost chameleon-esque! They blend beautifully and are nicely pigmented.

They are smooth and have a nice sheen to them without being over the top.

I LOVE the three shades in column three (Sun Tweaked, Crushed Clove, Cumulus), and the three shades in column four (After Dusk, Deception, Pearled Earth). Here I used the bottom row: Silver Fog, French Clay, Cumulus, Pearled Earth and Black Tied. However, as MAC points out, all of these shades can be used wet or dry, and the less pigmented and chalky shades are beautifully transformed when applied with a damp brush or damp sponge applicator. This is a look using the top row: Flounce, Sweet Allure, Sun Tweaked, After Dusk and Blackberry (a very light hand on Blackberry.)Īdditionally, some of the darkest shades are a smidge chalky and harder to blend, particularly Black Tied. Some of the lighter pastel and shimmer shades that make up the first two columns (obvious FYI: that’s top to bottom) are a bit sheer (Flounce, Sweet Allure, Pick Me Up, Crushed Clove, Silver Fog and French Clay).īecause I have medium tan skin (NC35-ish), they don’t stand out much against my skin, even when used with a primer.

MAC Cool Neutral Palette Swatches top row: Flounce, Sweet Allure, Sun Tweaked After Dusk and Blackberryīlackberry (matte, permanent shade) middle row: Pick Me Up, Cozy Grey, Crushed Clove, Deception and Brunīrun (satin, permanent shade) bottom row: Silver Fog, French Clay, Cumulus, Pearled Earth and Black Tied The MAC Cool Neutral palette has a mixture of 15 permanent, repromoted and brand new limited edition shades designed to enhance cool skin tones. So even if you only liked half of the eyeshadows, you’d still be getting a good deal! (Don’t you just LOVE makeup math?) The MAC Cool Neutral palette While the $85 price tag may seem steep, this palette contains 15 full sized MAC eyeshadow pans, which would normally retail for $10 each.Īdding a MAC Pro Palette ($8) and Pro Palette insert ($2) brings the total value of this palette to $160.

These palettes are a great way start a MAC eyeshadow collection, as each has a nicely curated assortment of colors and finishes. The MAC Eye Shadow x15 Cool Neutral palette ( available here) is one of two fifteen-pan eyeshadow palettes that were originally released last year and are being repromoted this year (the other being the MAC X15 Warm Neutral palette – available here).Ī third, limited edition palette has been added and is a Nordstrom-exclusive product: the Nordstrom Naturals palette ( available here).
