MAC Art of the Eye Collection (May 2013)

[Copperhead]

You mean matte, right? XD Frost was the original finish.
My list still consists of:
Farasha es
Gameela es
Parrot es
Hajar Karim es
Banafsaji es
Sama mascara
HDC pencil

Yeah, I caught my mistake and fixed it. I meant matte.

Here's my Parrot from back in the day.

I was also quite hesitant to attempt to make a look with Hajar Karim but it ended up quite nicely, looks very nice on the eye aswell!




Heroine + Hajar Karim + Deep Dark Brunette. Love this combo! And I dont know why Temptalia didnt like Heroine, I quite enjoyed working with it..

Hajar Karim is soooo pretty!!! How'd you like working with Deep Dark Brunette?

Definitely a "Less is more" experience, a little product goes a long way. It did however, apply very smoothly i thought! An angled brush worked best i thought but i tried a few other ones aswell just to see what result I'd get out of it!

Ok cool. I wanted to give it a try but I'm wondering if it's too light of a brown for my dark brows

Try it. I don't think it will be too light. I have dark brows too and it's not too light.

I want it if it leans more to teal and not blue.

I'm so excited for this collection. Eyeshadow is my weakness!

My list as of now is Parrot, Hajar Karim, Gameela, and maybe Rimal Dahabia. I already have Shroom and Soft Brown though...

Also, let me make note that my Parrot is from the Salsabelle collection and we know MAC oftentimes repromote items that differ from previous releases.

I can't wait to finally pick up Reflects Antique Gold. I pondered a BU of DDB fluidline, but I honestly don't see myself finishing the first one anytime soon.

I never been big on eyeshadow but I may try to start using it by getting this collection. My list: Rimal Dahabia quad Sama mascara Parrot eyeshadow I would get the glitters and the Banafsaji eyeshadow but I gotta save for other collections..

Parrot looks so close to UD Deep end...which I do own and have not touched in a while...I may just end up with Hajar Karim...

I now want Banafsaji!!!!

 

[Copperhead]

Banafsaji is very pretty! Kind of reminds me of NYX's Morocco. I wonder how it compares to Contrast. Either way, it's very pretty.

Just keep in mind: she must have gone through plenty to get it to swatch like that. I found that it was the driest out of all the shadows in the collection. It'll need a base underneath to get it to show up at its most vibrant, unlike the others, that were fine straight from the pan.

One thing, it DOES have a lovely sheen that's almost duochrome, like a pale turquoise sheen on top of the purple/blue base color, so there's that. It didn't knock my socks off, and I'm usually pretty charitable about textures if I love the color, and vice versa.

I just did a MAC Chat (on the UK website) and the MAC artist said that Parrot in this collection will still be a Frost. Oh, and she also said that this collection will be launching online tomorrow. Yay!

I see where you are coming from. I wouldn't want a shadow work me that hard to get it to show up. I do think I'm leaning more towards Hajari Karim..i think it would look really pretty with brown eyes
