I felt like playing with corporate cosmetics today, just because I haven’t in a while. I used MAC pigments in Softwash Grey and Mauvement, both from a holiday collection. I haven’t been tempted by this year’s sets, though I like the plum one. But I already have Grape, so there really isn’t any point.

Softwash Grey is a a cool-toned, blue-purple gray with a slight metallic sheen. I really like how metallic these pigments are. Mauvement is a bronzy taupe with a mauve undertone and champagne sheen. I used Sephora’s Aspen Summit to highlight. As much as I love my indie eyeshadows, I have to give props to MAC for making an excellent textured product in their pigments. They go on like butter.

The blush is Nars Luster, and lips are MAC Budding Beauty Lipgelee.
