using MAC Satin Taupe Eye shadow on my lids as well as lower lash lines
What’s an unsung makeup hero? For me, it’s an frequently underrated makeup morsel, a long-term collection product that scoots under the radar screen of many makeup enthusiasts however on a regular basis rocks my world. The long-running Unsung Heroes series features a few of my favorites.
I swear, you just can’t go wrong with the classics. I used MAC Satin Taupe Eye shadow the other day for the very first time in months. It’s a shimmery grayish purple in the MAC long-term line, as well as it’s been around since the days of the dinosaurs!

It’s just so dang pretty!
I didn’t do anything elegant with it this week — just the exact same standard-issue Satin Taupe look I’ve been doing for, oh, the past zillion years.
I needed to put on some makeup to record a video, so I lined my eyes with black liner, then took that exact same liner as well as smudged it on my lids as well as lower lash lines. then I buffed out the black liner with a MAC 217 before patting Satin Taupe directly on top as well as blending whatever together. A quick sweep of great matte brown MAC Omega in my crease, as well as that was it. All done.

Easy, elegant as well as damned quick — which led me to think, “Dude, Karen! Why do you make things more difficult than they requirement to be? You should be doing this all the time!”
It was one of those “Doh!” forehead-to-palm moments when I concern my life choices, LOL!
Anyway, with Satin Taupe, we’re speaking must-have (yes, it’s that serious). You’ve most likely seen it around in restricted edition palettes right here as well as there… right here it is in a couple of recent ones (MAC Brooke Shields Gravitas as well as the MAC Nordstrom Naturals palettes), however you can likewise discover it as a single in the long-term line.
Marvelous MAC Satin Taupe Eye Shadow
Here are a few of the reasons why I like it so much…
It’s ridiculously flattering. No matter exactly how cool, warm, pale or deep your skin tone is, or the color of your eyes, Satin Taupe werks!
The surface is fabulous. It’s totally on point — shiny sufficient to catch the light as well as draw interest to your eyes, however far sufficient away from frosty not to highlight your fine lines.
It blends like buttah. MAC’s eyeshadow structures variety from kitten-tum soft to rock hard, as well as Satin Taupe is one of the softest in the line. as well as that means that edges are simple to blur into other colors.
It’s a grrrrreat eyeshadow for beginners, by the way. even if you have no concept what the heck you’re doing keeping that 217 or 224, Satin Taupe will work with you (instead of against), making it basically foolproof.
If you don’t have this in your MAC collection yet, it needs to be there! discover it at MAC counters, stores as well as on the internet for $16 as an Eye shadow single or $10 as a refill pan.
