Teals and Blues Using CARGO and MAC Eye Shadows

Here are some bright, bright blues from the Los Angeles eyeshadow palette from the Cargo Pro Picks collection. I am loving this palette because the colors are rich and hella pigmented. The bright teal is not for the faint of heart! It is lovely though and is just perfect for summer.



I also used one of my most favorite (if not THE most fave) MAC quads, Tone:Grey. The colors are very simple and yet so beautiful when applied. The most simple colors are indeed the prettiest.

Here is a step by step. All products MAC unless otherwise stated.


Apply Urban Decay primer potion all over lid and lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply Rollickin' paint pot on lid.


Using a firm shader brush, apply Turquoise shade from the Cargo Los Angeles palette.


Using the Sonia Kashuk crease/blender brush, apply the teal color from the Cargo palette on the outer V. Blend with the 224 brush.


Using the same brush, apply The Right Smoke on the crease and blend with the teal shadow using the 224 brush.

My Take: I've always loved CARGO's blushes and blu_ray™ High Definition pressed powder, but I've never tried its eyeshadows, lipliners or glosses. That is why I was happy to try CARGO's new offering, the Pro Picks collection. I like that it is a complete collection that has something for both the eyes and the lips. I also like that this collection actually has the same CARGO products favored by top artists on Hollywood sets and fashion runways.
