OOO I want the Azure, Cornflower, and Cosmic Blue and have Kiddie Pool, Atlantic, 159. Sweet blues!
Nice Blues…love azure and cornflower the most
I have dark hair and brown eyes and freckles and I find the MAC contrast is a perfect blue for the liner and corners. It gives that touch of “cool” to counteract my warm tones.
Great collection you have there!!! which one do you recomend for blue-grey eyes???
thnx a lot!!!!
i love the azure!!! Can you do a look using that shadow? Or have you done one already?
thank you 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Great colours!
I usually don’t like blue eyeshadows, but these could change my mind!;)
Contrast used to be part of my “everyday” look ‘cos I loved it so much.
I love this sort of article!!!
Nice combination of shimmers and mattes here! I often have a hard time finding a good blue eyeshadow that’s not too bright or too “glittery.” These are some nice mattes and shimmers. I find that with blue eyeshadow, the trick is too have a matte lid accessorized with shimmer, but not chunky glitter.
ROCK ON MARLENA!
oooooooooooh I like that cosmic blue & mac cornflower pigment!! xD
srbija!!!
OMG!!!! These r all so adorable i almost wanna eat them y’all!
Marlena,
What do u think about MAC’s spring collection? Any tutorials on that on Urban Decay
I’m surprised to see Rated R on here. I was soooo excited when I got this a few years back- more for the acid green than the blue. I’m not arguing a bit that the shades are stunning, but I’ve been grossly disappointed with the staying power of Nars shadows- no matter how I apply, what brush I use, base or no base, I find myself having to refresh the color several times before I’ve even completed the look. Surely I’m not the only one???
where is electric eel? this makes me sad
