It was the first time I ever used all-matte shadows on my eyes and I loved it. When she did my neutral day time eye, she used Orb all over the lid, Tete-a-Tint through the crease, and Saddle in the outer corner with a basic straight gel liner on the top lashes.

I still have a couple of these (the originals… probably best to throw these out by now…), but let me show you the other 25 I felt needed a special home in my collection, as well as, which I would repurchase again and again!

She lined up the following eye products for me: shadows in Orb, Tete-a-Tint (since discontinued …I don’t know WHY), Saddle, Embark and Black Tied as well as, MAC Fluidline Gel Eyeliner in Blacktrack. I forever owe her for what has since been a snowball effect of collecting MAC products (especially eyeshadow). I also wanted her to show me the best way to apply shadows to my eye shape. and told the artist that I was looking for a neutral look that I can take from day-to-night easily. Just being sick of my typical makeup routine, I went to the MAC store in Philadelphia on Walnut St. I was probably 23 years old (I’m 30 now). I remember the first time I bought MAC makeup EVER. The fact that I just realized I own 30 eyeshadows in my MAC eyeshadow collection shocks me.
