Today’s challenge was to try and pick out my favourite eye shadow, now although I have a lot of eye shadows in my dressing table, this particular one is probably my favourite. I’m talking about Mac Woodwinked which is a gorgeous coppery gold.
I am very sad to say that this is the only Mac eyeshadow that I currently own, however, once I have used up some of my others, I do plan to start building up a palette. My challenge is to use up as many other eyeshadows in the quickest possible time so I can get started, but I’m getting pretty impatient now! This one was bought for me as a present by a friend, many many years ago now and I don’t think I fully appreciated how beautiful it is until recently. When pressed onto the lid this is quite a deep gold, however, when you buff it out, it instantly turns into much more of a warm, coppery shade. When you combine the two techniques, it creates a gorgeous smokey eye effect in seconds and with minimal effort! I like to pair this with winged black liner, dewy skin and a bright red lip. Due to the coppery tones, this really makes blue and green eyes pop. I have blue eyes and they really do look brighter and more blue when I wear this, which I really like! It’s a nice added bonus to an already lovely product. The formula is very pigmented and the texture is very blendable. This retails for £13.00 from Mac’s website, however, you can pick this up slightly cheaper in Debenhams or House of Fraser I believe. Heres a
little swatch on my hand to show you the colour pay off:
Please ignore my weird hand appearance, we couldn’t quite get the right lighting when taking this picture so I was at an awkward angle!
What are your favourite Mac eyeshadows? Have you tried this colour out yourself? Do you have any good recommendations for me?
Much Love

Why thank you! And that’s great that you regularly use things up! I am just getting into that flow with products. Makeup is hard to finish up especially since I don’t wear makeup everyday.

Satin Taupe is my all time favorite.I am on my third one! I don’t even know how that is possible since I own so many eye shadows, but I always go back to it.
