sometimes you gotta go with the classics. ?
As a makeup hoarding enthusiast, I’ll be the very first to admit that the excitement of the search — the quest itself — to discover new makeup to autumn in like with, is one of the motivating factors for why I like makeup as well as beauty so much.

There’s always something new to discover, right? A new method to master? A new finish, new formula, a new plant-based component found deep in the jungle, a brand new brand, a traditional brand re-brand, a trick formula, an ancient skin care secret, a new GWP, BOGO, or a gorgeous LE palette?

At the exact same time, there are days when I just want to take it back to beauty “comfort food” — the old requirements I understand so well, as well as that I understand work for me, as well as for me, that’s always MAC. I’ll always be a MAC woman at heart. ?

In this look, I’m using some traditional MAC colors I’ve liked for more than this entire decade. It seems weird to state that, however I did the math; det är sant!

There’s a hint of color in the liner, however whatever else on the lids, cheeks as well as lips is neutral.

I such as this look since I can wear it anywhere as well as everywhere. The lids are softly defined with cooler-toned browns in the crease as well as a sparkling peach from lash line to crease (to produce the illusion of more deeply set eyes, since mine are getting more hooded by the second!).

There’s likewise lash meaning by method of the liner, which is *not* a stark, inky black, or even a brown. Instead, I’m using an eyeshadow called MAC Club, which is a gorgeous shimmery peacock feather that goes from teal to eco-friendly to gray to dark brown. Det är underbart.

So, yeah, I’m using that along my upper lash line.

On the lower lash line, I’m using a pencil liner that I likewise think about a MAC staple, MAC Powersurge. It’s a warm, shimmery bronzed gold, as well as it adds a bit something-something, however it doesn’t get all up in your face. It’s one of my favorites! I believe it’s even subtler as well as less intense than a brown liner. I used it daily for almost a year.

On my cheeks, I’m using the very first MAC blush I ever fell in like with, MAC Blushbaby… It’s a matte pinkish beige.

And, on my lips, I’m using an updated handle an early-2000s lip. Yup, you understand that light, glossy nude lip everybody was using back in the day (along with their low-rise denim as well as camisole top, of course)? I got there with MAC Stripdown lip liner, MAC Honey like Lipstick, as well as great ol’ Angel Lipglass.

åh! — I just realized that I failed to remember to add a swatch of MAC Teddy liner, which I tightlined with.

I desire I might take credit history for this combination of eyeshadows, however I can’t. It’s from the most unlikely combination from years as well as years ago, from, like, Halloween! I never believed I’d autumn in like with it, however I utilize it almost daily. keep in mind the Monster’s Bride palette? I don’t utilize the eco-friendly color (ever), however whatever else is a workhorse, so if you’re building a MAC palette, I can suggest all of these colors 100%.

The lightest color — satiny beige Mylar — you can utilize as an all-over eyeshadow base to brighten your eye makeup, or, you can even utilize it as an eye or a cheek highlighter. (Side note: I just looked this up on the MAC website, as well as it’s MIA; unfortunate panda. however you can sub it with Shroom.)

The lighter cool-toned matte brown is Omega, which I’m using in the crease. It’s fantastic for pushing a hooded lid back *and* for filling out brows (I’m using it mixed with Brun in my brows in this look). It’s fantastic if you want a truly ashy brown brow, however you don’t want it to look as well gray or as well harsh.

If you have any type of spaces in your brow, it’s especially fantastic for filling out sparse spots.

MAC Brun, like OF MY LIFE. using it in my brows as well as outer crease.

Club is the liner, which I used with an angled clean wet with MAC Fix+.

Carbon, I’m not truly using in this look, however it’s your standard-issue black that you can wear with anything as well as everything.
