The MAC By Request Drove: Deets

Six of the nine pieces of the MAC By Request Collection — The vi MAC By Request Drove Eye Shadows and Lipsticks (not pictured: the Lipglasses in Glam, Hoop and Pink Poodle)

Fiction Middle Shadow — This soft, night khaki green with golden shimmer reminds me of a less shimmery, somewhat darker version of MAC'due south Gold Olive Pigment in pressed pulverization form. I recollect it looks gorgeous layered with a little MAC Tarnish Eye Kohl. For an easy khaki green smokey eye, just apply Tarnish all over your lids, buff it out, and layer Fiction right on top.
Diesel Center Shadow — This cool gray frost with silverish shimmer is a joy to alloy and looks fab with MAC Smolder Middle Kohl.
Butterscotch Eye Shadow — Like a loyal friend who never lets you lot downwardly, this matte warm beige looks great as a base of operations color, especially on medium and darker skin tones. I like to habiliment it either all over the hat as a base shade, or on my forehead bones for a subtle highlight. I call up this i's a bang-up everyday workhorse shadow!
Pink Poodle Lipstick — So, I beloved this bright, frosty fuchsia in theory, but there's but something about information technology… It reminds me of the matching frosty fuchsia lipstick Jen and I wore style when nosotros were sophomores in high school, and I'g not quite ready to go that retro yet.
Hoop Lipstick — This super wear mid-toned matte rosy pink will probably work for merely nearly anyone. But exist sure to prep your lips first, considering MAC's mattes can be kind of drying if y'all're non used to 'em.
Glam Lipstick — Again, you'll want to prep your lips before wearing this vivid matte pinkish cherry-red. It'south long lasting and dramatic — neat for one of those epic nights on the boondocks. Oh, and very, very early 90s. Someone please hand me my crimping atomic number 26, Liz Claiborne handbag and my mix-record with Ice Ice Infant on information technology.
The Lipglasses — These are the 3 brand-spankin'-new Lipglasses that were inspired by the Lipsticks. I haven't had a adventure to give these a off-white shake yet, simply I volition soon.
