I got a couple of new MAC pigments earlier this week. Here they are:
Ruby Red: I have used this before in one of my “Face of the Night” entries. It is a shimmery raspberry red color.
Golden Lemon: this is a shimmery goldish yellow color. It would be great as a wash or for highlighting the inner corner.
Chartreuse: this is a shimmery kiwi green with yellow in it. I wore this with Deep Blue Green and it made my eyes pop.
Kelly Green: this color is exactly the same green you see on St. Patrick’s Day. This would look *so* pretty with Chartreuse.
Deep Blue Green: this looks black in a quick glance but is actually a very dark blue with a green sheen to it. This would look great as a liner or for a smoky eye look.
If I have time, I will probably do a couple of looks with these colors and post pictures.

hi i have a question…instead of putting foundation over concealer can u use tinted moisturiser instead, will it have the same afeect if i want the flawless skin look?

Tinted moisturizers are generally a lot sheerer than foundations and concealers. As the name suggests, it is only a moisturizer with a tint of color. If you have good skin, a tinted moisturizer might suffice to achieve the flawless look but if you’re not so lucky or just want a natural look, I wouldn’t recommend using it.

how you pick your eyeshadow depends on different factors like your natural eye color, natural skin tone etc. here’s an entry on this topic:
