I love Autumn (or Fall, if you prefer) and I'm also a fan of the make up that comes with. Recently I've been LOVING neutral eyeshadows instead of brights, I find that they look a lot better if you you have a darker lip. So with that in mind, I decided to splash out in some MAC eyeshadows. I adore MAC eyeshadows but until recently I was only in possession of three. A quad was an ideal choice for me as it will fit in a small space and didn't take too much commitment to fill!
The colours I opted for were Naked Lunch, Satin Taupe, Antiqued and Woodwinked.

Even though I wouldn't say Antiqued is that neutral as such I do think it has a very autumnal theme as it is a slightly reddish brown (reminiscent of Autumn trees, perhaps?) but it also isn't so bright that it distracts from the rest of the make up look. Naked Lunch is a great light champagne pink all over the lid colour and the other three would be great for blending or alternatively they could be lid colours too if you wanted a slightly darker eye look. Satin Taupe is a really nice colour although I feel as though it will get the least use as I tend to prefer warmer colours. Woodwinked is a lovely golden shadow and I think it will quickly become one of my firm favourites. Next stop, Urban Decay Naked Palette! Definitely need to get one of those.
Does anyone have any MAC eyeshadows that they recommend? I always find the selection very overwhelming, although I think I've decided that my next purchase will be Sumptuous Olive.
Thanks for reading,
