I bought this in my teens – I think that right there says enough.

Notes: Before the beauty community fell in love with rose-gold, this was THE rose-gold. I don’t wear this shade that often, but when I do I usually place this in the outer corner and do a thick black winged liner. Notes: Yet another wedding shade (do you see how I ended up with so many pinks now?), although I think the artist used this on my cheeks. Pink with gold duochrome, great colour payoff. Notes: Another cult favourite and another shade that was used on me for my wedding. I mix this predominantly with teals and it works out pretty well. In the pan it looks orange with a pink duochrome, but it swatches (and wears) more pink with an orange duochrome. Notes: I was given this by a friend because she couldn’t figure out how to wear it. If you’re using it, make sure to pack it on. It’s a lustre, so it’s chunky, filled with glitter and pretty sheer. Notes: Used on me for my wedding – but I can’t figure out why because this is a glittery mess. Not one I wear too often anymore, but it has lovely colour payoff. Notes: Frosty light pink – a cult favourite. One of my more recent shades that I got from a Back 2 MAC. Notes: Despite looking rather brown in the swatch, this is a matte maroon shade. This is a pretty old shade though, so chances are the formula may be better these days.

This is a purple with pink duochrome and despite it swatching nicely, this applies like an absolute bastard on my lids.

It has a slight edge of blue duochrome, but there’s barely a whisper of it. Notes: This is a limited edition shade that was re-promoted in the Liberty of London collection, which is when I picked it up. This is a beautiful purply-pink with a darker purple/blue duochrome. Notes: I almost didn’t buy this shade because I thought it would be too similar to Dame’s Desire (below). On with the swatches! MAC – Star n Rockets A lot of these shadows were purchased because the makeup artist used them on me at my wedding and I wanted to buy the pans to keep for memories sake. My MAC Pinks and Purples Paletteĭespite the number of shadows that make up this palette, I’m really not much of a pink eyeshadow wearer.

This the last of MAC palettes and it contains my pink and purples shadows.
