If you’re not sure where to begin, a good idea is to browse the MAC range of Eye Palettes. These eyeshadow colour palettes have been put together by makeup artists in complementary shades, so you can mix and match with ease! You can experiment not just with colour, but with different textures and finishes. For instance, try switching between a matte eyeshadow and a metallic shimmer eyeshadow, to play with different effects. Add a touch of eye glitter, and you’ll be ready for any occasion – from a cocktail soiree, to a red carpet premiere!

Creating the perfect smokey eyeshadow isn’t as difficult as it might seem, as long as you have the right tools and know the right tips and tricks. Create the perfect eyeshadow base by patting some eye primer on the lid. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, apply a medium-toned shadow all over the lid. Then, use a darker shade along the lash line and a lighter shade on the brow bone. Blend it all flawlessly and finish off with your go-to eye liner.

Neutral eyeshadow colours are shades that naturally match your skin tone, enhancing your look, while keeping it simple and discreet. Perfect for creating the trendy no-makeup makeup look, neutral eyeshadows are a must-have in any makeup kit.

A cut crease eye makeup splits your lid into two sections, adding shape, depth and definition to your eye makeup. To create a flawless cut crease, use a small eye brush and neutral eyeshadow to define your crease and apply concealer across the lid to add even more contrast. Apply a light eyeshadow on top of the concealer and finish it off with a winged eyeliner.
