Love it: M.A.C Cosmetics’ EYES ON M.A.C collection

When it comes to applying makeup I am most definitely no pro, and I also have a drawer full of eye shadow singles that really don’t get the workout that they should.

So when I heard that M.A.C Cosmetics’ EYES ON M.A.C collection was finally due to be released in New Zealand I was beyond overjoyed – think ease, portability and killer shades and you have the perfect eye combo.

Designing your own unique eyes has never been easier thanks to Eyes on M.A.C., a collection essentially made up of well-edited Eyes Times Nine and Eyes Times Fifteen palettes featuring colour-coordinated hues that offer countless combinations. Each palette provides an array of textures for both day and night and come packaged in a convenient compact for easy portability. Travel friendly? You bet!
