MAC Twinks Eyeshadow Review, Swatch, FOTD
Price : Rs 680 (refill), Rs 900(pan)
MAC describes Twinks as Deep plum w/pearl (Veluxe Pearl). It is a plum brown eyeshadow with golden sheen to it. It’s a great brown eyeshadow for all eye colors and the plum effect in the eyeshadow is great for those with green eyes.
I love this product both as an all over lid color and as an outer corner color. It is not shimmery but has a soft sheen to it. the sheen kinda gives that satiny look to the lids. No fall out. Great staying power. Easy blending, no creasing and nice pigmentation. And it builds up pretty well so you cna really take the intensity from a sheer wash of color to a deep plum brown without it looking chalky or overdone.
It is an easy to wear color. Even on days when you are running tight on schedule, just apply this eyeshadow, kohl and mascara on eyes. You’d be sorted and it’d give a nice polished look to the eyes.
Not a must have but a good to have color in your collection. It’s a brown with a bit of a twist. 😉
Swatch :
And this is the super simple messy eye makeup look I did using Twinks. Twinks all over the lid and past the crease. Apply black kohl on upper lash line and water line and just smudge it using a pencil brush. Curl lashes and apply mascara. 😀 I did one tutorial HERE using this eyeshadow.
Here I have kept face makeup more towards neutral brown only. You can totally use corals also with this look. In fact, experiment and see what works the best for you. :))
These are products used for eye makeup look. Twinks (all over), feline Kohl (smudged) and ricepaper just on the inner corner of the eye.

very very pretty..I like being ‘sorted’ out :)..I am doing MAC shopping this week in Bombay :yahoo: :yahoo:
so MAC fluidline (is that what its called? :)) and prep+primer
I think these are 2 must haves from MAC na? :methinks:
fluidline ..yes the gel liner. 😀 prep and prime is the range of products. what are you looking for ? :))
thanks. :)) how come in bombay? work?
i am going to visit my folks –dussera chutti tomorrow, “working” from home ( :whistle: :whistle: ) on friday so get a long weekend off..husband will join sat..we live close to infinity, inorbit, lokhandwala etc so super excited abt the shopping. my parents always crib ki naam ke wasste i come to Bombay cos I run off shopping the first chance I get 😉
oh I was looking for a good base for my makeup since it is oily in parts..honestly I still think i am a normal to oily skin type..still not quite sure :nababana: . maybe I shud get a professional opinion..VLCC or something. Fashion and You had this VLCC offer for 1499..pretty cool. bought that so looking fwd to gettting a bunch of stuff done including diet suggestions and consultation 🙂 :yahoo:
Also, though i am very very happy with the pro longwear concealer, i am wondering if I shud try the studio fix or just stick to the one I have, wait for it to get over and then try studio fix :headbang: .

i am newbie to makeup world…..read some blogs here and bought eyeshadow of mac…but it slips off on my eyes as my eyelids become oily after sometime…Although i am using powdered eyeshadow…

priyanka you would have to use an eye shadow base- primer for eyelids to make your eyeshadows stay.
