My Mac Pro Palette

Mac recently launched their Pro Palettes, which are essentially empty magnetic palettes to be filled with refill pans of shadows or blushes. Mac's take on the Z Palette, basically. They're really handy for keeping your most used shadows together in one travel-friendly palette. Mine has become an essential part of my freelance kit. I have the medium size with currently 9 shadows inside, and there's plenty of space for more. I'm going to swatch each shadow for you now. Oh, and excuse the powdery appearance of my palette, it is very well loved. 






Mac Satin Taupe
This is an almost metallic shadow in a taupe/silver/pewter shade. Really pretty and universally flattering. It's sultry without being too dramatic, and I particularly love wearing this one in Autumn/Winter. 

Mac Swiss Chocolate
This is a muted reddish brown in a matte finish. It's just warm enough, a lovely addition to a smokey eye. I use this on clients every week.

Makeup Geek Peach Smoothie
This matte pale peach shadow seems to be a makeup artist staple the world over, the perfect transition colour on a wide range of skin tones. I use this on EVERYONE, including myself.

Mac Nylon
My most used Mac shadow of all time. It's a beautiful white gold that looks incredible in the inner corner of the eye. I really need to get another one, I'm almost out yet again. 


Mac Coppering
A true orange copper in the Veluxe Pearl finish. This looks incredible on blue eyes, making them pop, It's a subtle way to incorporate colour. 

Mac Brown Script
A warm chesnut brown in my favourite matte finish. It reminds me of Anastasia Beverly Hills Fudge, which is one of my favourite shadows of all time. I mean, who doesn't love a rich warm brown?

Mac Mythology
This is a shimmery rose gold/copper that lots of my clients love. 

Makeup Geek Cocoa Bear
I love and adore this one. It creates the most beautiful warm smokey eye, blending beautifully and effortlessly. Another makeup artist staple, I would recommend this shadow to anyone. 


Makeup Geek Americano
A cool toned dark brown matte that is gorgeous in the outer v, or to smoke out any eye look. 

So there we have it! I have other single shadows in other palettes, but I keep these together because I use them on a daily basis. I'll be adding to my pro palette very soon.

What are your favourite single shadows?
