1 MAC Yellow/ Orange/ Bronzy eyeshadows - Part I

Next part of my eyeshadow collection - Yellows & Oranges. I'm very into bright colors, so Yellows n Oranges are a must for me in my e/s collection.

Going Bananas* (Frost): LE with C shock collection. This is a soft yellow e/s that looks nothing as scarily yellow as in the pan. Makes a good wash of color all over the eye or as a basecolor for other yellows/ oranges and greens.

Summer Neutral* (Frost): LE from Sundressing. Has somewhat of a very slight olive undertones to it. A great neutral for everyday wear, pairs well with yellows, browns and earthy greens. Good texture.

Gorgeous Gold (Veluxe pearl): One of my all time favourite regular MAC eyeshadow. It has a duochrome undertone to it although it's not very obvious in the pic. Under certain lighting it looks a bit more greenish, in other lighting more yellow. Love pairing this with my bronzy colors, oranges, greens and even blues. Great texture as with most Veluxe pearl shadows.

Goldmine (Frost): Kinda of a yellow orangy color. But I love this color a lot, it goes beautifully in creating "sunset" eye make up and it has a great texture as well. Has pretty good color payoff and texture is buttery smooth.

Retrospeck (Lustre): A nice champagne gold color best used as a brow bone highlighter. Being a lustre eyeshadow, it has quite a lot of glitters in it and has pretty sheer color payoff. I do love this as a brow bone highlighting color, but I wouldn't wear it alone as the color is really very sheer.

Juiced (Velvet): Although its a velvet eyeshadow, It somehow feels more like a satin to me - smooth, blendable and with a very subtle pearly sheen to it. It's a nice color, but not really an everyday color. I usually use this when i'm doing more colorful looks. 

Rule (Matte): This is a pretty intense shade of orange. To be honest, I rarely use this. But i do find the texture and color payoff of this eyeshadow to be very good for a matte eyeshadow. So if u are looking for an intense orange to add to your e/s collection, you may consider this

Peppier* (Velvet): Coral orange in color. Blends smoothly, color intensity can be built up without an eyeshadow base. Best to pair this with other colors, as by itself it may make the eyes look swollen especially if u use it by itself only on the crease area. Puffy eye ladies should avoid this color.

Chrome Yellow (Matte): Great texture and color payoff for a Matte e/s. A color that can be built up to achieve the intensity required. For greater intensity, use an eyeshadow base.

Lovebud* (Lustre): Kinda looks a bit like paradisco eyeshadow but with more glitters.  Goes on more sheer than in the pan as with most MAC lustre eyeshadows, but still blendable

Falling Star (Veluxe Pearl): Bronzy reddish color (somewhat like Mythology but with less glitter fallout) best paired with yellows, golds, oranges and  browns. Good color payoff and texture.

Coppering (Veluxe Pearl): Looks similar to Falling star, but just a tad more reddish than it. 


Amber Lights (Frost): Looks very very similar to Casino in the pan and when swatched, Amber lights is just a little bit more orangey than Casino. Nice texture and color payoff. If u have Casino e/s, I don't think u need this even though both are off different textures. When you apply them on the eyes, they look almost the same to me anyway.


Casino (Lustre): Same comment as per Amber lights. Great texture and color payoff for a lustre eyeshadow. For a lustre eyeshadow, it sure doesn't have as much glitters as some of the other MAC lustres that i own and more pigmented.

Ricepaper (Frost): This is the MUST have eyeshadow color for people of All races, all ages and all sexes. It's such a versatile color that works on people of all skintone either as a base color on the eyes or as a highlighting powder on the face. Good texture. Highly recommended!
