Simple Silver and Grey Look Using MAC Eye Shadows





If I have a favorite MAC eyeshadow palette of late, it would be the Tone:Grey quad from the MAC Trend F/W '09 collection. I'd thought that the colors were a bit blah and were not really of interest especially if you consider them individually, but the combination of all these shades is pretty amazing to me. I also like that the blue really makes the eyes pop and it kicks up the boring grey-smokey eye a notch. For this particular look, though, I used mostly the greys in the quad.

I also used Silverthorn eyeshadow from the Rose Romance collection. I LOVE this eyeshadow. It is just the perfect silver for me - not too bling-y, not too garish, not too dull, but just gives the right sparkle to the eye to make it glow.









All MAC products unless otherwise stated:

I used Urban Decay primer potion on lid and lower lashline, Cash Flow paint pot on lid, Silverthorn on lid applied with the 239 brush, Waft and Tone Grey on crease and outer V using Sonia Kashuk blender brush and blended together using the 224, Waft on outer lower lashline and Silverthorn on inner lower lashline using the 219 brush. I used A Warmer White to highlight using Stila No. 5 brush. I lined the eye using L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner, and rimmed eyes (waterline and tightline) using Urban Decay 24/7 pencil liner in Zero.

I totally ignored this quad when it came out, and now you are making me wish I hadn't - this looks awesome! I'm a big silverthorn fan as well. It was one of my fav releases of last year.

MILKY WILS- thank you!=)

scarlettholly- I know, right? It looks so blah in the quad, but so pretty when worn. I agree, Silverthorn rocks!

I love it! I wear silver eyes often. I find it easier to do smokey eyes with silver because a black smokey eye is too harsh on me. I love those two lip/dazzle glasses. Gorgeous colors! =]
