    Swatching procedure: My skin tone is roughly a MAC NW20. Swatches are done over MAC Painterly paint pot to provide a base, therefore results may appear different on bare skin.

    Photos are taken in my bathroom which has “Natural Light” bulbs to mimic natural daylight. No flash is used.

The texture is just funky, for lack of better description. The color payoff I don’t find to be that great, either… the reddish tinge that you see in the pot just doesn’t show up on me. Just disappointing :(

    • MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
    • MAC 100 Strokes e/s all across lid (139 brush)
    • MAC Idol Eyes e/s all across lid over the 100 Strokes (139 brush)
    • MAC Shroom e/s in crease (217 brush)

    Instead of Shroom, I kinda wish I would have done a whiter color. But otherwise, I figured out Idol Eyes, being so glitterly, works well on top of another color for a different look.
