MAC Mulch & Patina Eyeshadows Meant To Be Together

Wednesday March 10, 2010

I’ve been completely obsessed with Mac Mulch and Patina eyeshadows. I’ve applied the duet on light, medium and dark skin; blue, green, brown and hazel eyes along with every possible hair color combo you can come up with and it looks great E.V.E.R.Y.T.I.M.E.

The shadows can be worn as a light wash over the lid when going natural or dramatically for party night. My favorite was last weekend when I applied them on a bride with very fair skin, who wanted a strong but not overdone smokey eye, the contrast was dazzling. I added false lashes (you know me and my lashes!) for added drama and let me tell you ladies, she was one gorgeous babe.

Patina

Patina: Taupe Brown with golden pearl (frost).

To me Patina has more of a light shimmer than a true frost and the delicate pearl reflect is just gorgeous.  Patina is cooler than most gold and kinda looks antique which is where I feel it’s uniqueness and versatility comes from.  Used as a light wash on the lid for a natural look it brightens up the eyes just enough.

Mulch

Mulch: red-brown with w/bronze pearl (velvet).

Haaaaaaaa Mulch I love thee!  Slightly shimmery, rich chocolate brown with red and gold undertones, ideal shade to smoke things up!  I also applied this one as an eyeliner with great success. The color is extremely build-able. I deposit with a firm brush, then use my favorite blendable brush Mac 217. Paired with Patina it’s a combination made in heaven.
