Wedge: This is one of MAC’s most popular transition shades, a lovely warm beige. I’ve decided to choose 4 matte transition shades, 4 warm neutrals (frosts/shimmers) and 4 more unique, out-there colours to mix up my go-to looks. Whenever I visit my local store, I go into a heady daze where everything and anything is beautiful, wonderful… and affordable (eesh), which doesn’t make for easy decision making.īut I’m going to (try and) be sensible. The range of colours and finishes offered by MAC is quite overwhelming when you’re trying to choose just twelve. But if being able to pick out your own shades means that you’re more likely to use them at every opportunity, the extra expense is surely worth it. MAC eyeshadows aren’t cheap by any means (individual pans cost £10) so building your own 12 piece palette will cost just under double the price of the pre-made ones. So I put it back and decided to build my own custom pro palette. For £65, it’s a pretty steep investment in something I wouldn’t use all that much. It doesn’t include any of the shadows I’ve been lusting after for a while now and, in my opinion, there are a few too many yellow-y honey shades and no “curve-ball” colours that would really mix up my every day looks.



I was a few steps away from the checkout, MAC’s Warm Neutrals Palette in hand, when I thought… I actually won’t use around half of these colours.
