MAC Soft Serve Eyeshadow Swatches


MAC Soft Serve Eyeshadow Swatches
Here’s a really quick post with swatches from 10 shades in the MAC Soft Serve eyeshadow collection. Now these bounch creams do remind me a little (a lot) of Chanel Illusion d’Ombres and Dior Fusion Monos in overall look.
Application and pay-off wise, they are probably closer to the Diors, and not as pigmented or as multi-dimensional as some of the Chanels tend to be. Then again, they are US$22 - you can’t really complain about the difference in pigments. (Pricing and launch dates to be advised in Singapore.)
I did have fun layering several of them together for the eye look above, and I only used my fingers; no brushes. As you can see the effect is pretty subtle.
Inner half of lids - Girls’Girls!
Outer half of lids - Put Me To Shame
Socket line - Quite Yummy
Brow bone - So so saucy
Outer corners and lower lash line - Softened Up
Inner corners / tear duct - Big Bad Blue
Lasting-power wise, I will say they work just as well as any other bouncy shadow, and they layer beautifully. I always find it a shame to layer powder shadows over some of the sparkly shades because you lose the effect a bit, but you CAN use them as eye shadow bases. One good thing about this type of formula is that even as they get dried out over time (and they all will), the formula stays pliable and usable for a long time compared to the usual waxy pots of cream shadows with a hard texture, which become rock-solid and stop working.
If you’ve always been fascinated by those expensive bouncy cream shadows but never splashed out on them because it seems like too much money for too little product, you might find the MAC ones worth a look.

TOO FACED ‘BORN THIS WAY’ CONCEALER SWATCHES This week I received the entire range of the  Too Faced ‘Born This Way’ concealers. There are 10 shades in the collection, varying from the lightest colour ‘very fair’ to the darkest shade ‘deep’. So no matter your skin tone you will find a suitable match within this selection.  The consistency of these concealers are creamy and smooth - not too thick nor too runny, they’ve got it just right!  I’ve had a brief play with these but I really need to test them out on more clients with varying degrees of skin pigmentation to gain a more concise view as to whether they are as good as they claim.  So far though, I am impressed with them. I personally don’t have dark circles, but the formula does cover my breakouts when they occur. Having tried them under my eyes I was pleased with the results in the respect that the product does not sit in fine lines, nor does it make the eyes appear crepey like many concea...

In this tutorial, we show you how to use contour products to minimize your forehead while maximizing your jawline. This easy, everyday look balances out your face while emphasizing your cheekbones. BECKY PEDERSON STEP ONE Highlight the high points of your face. For a heart-shaped face, those points are your jawline, the bridge of your nose, under your eyes, the tops of your cheeks, the corners of your mouth, and the center of your forehead.
