Desperately Seeking Brown MAC Eyeshadows: Help! - Makeup and Beauty Blog

Hey, chicas! How was your Friday night?

Mine was filled with rap and yummy Chinese food. I dragged El Hub to a Chinese food joint in Sausalito chosen Tommy's Wok. I'm addicted to their lettuce wrap dish, which I likewise like to call, "Let u.s. rap."

My name is Karen, and I've got a cat,
His proper name is Tabs, and he is a brat.
He eats Fris-kies every day and dark,
And bites his mom if his food ain't right.

Okay, and so I'm no Biggie Smalls. 🙂

After dinner we only chilled at home, watching both new eps of Dollhouse (twisty!) and Terminator (scary!).

So far today I haven't washed much… but I did become this email from MBB reader Camille.

Hey Karen,

I was just wondering if you could propose a MAC brown eyeshadow that isn't too orange or as well red-toned? Soft brown and sable already look too ruby and besides orange. I but want a nice matte brown. Delight allow me know.

Camille, you know I tin't live without my MAC browns! 🙂

I raided my stash and found a couple non-orangey options.

1. As far as brownish shades for the hat or crease, I actually like Soba and Cork. Both are warm gilded browns that aren't overly orange or red. What's the diff betwixt the 2? Cork applies more than brown than gold and has a matte finish; Soba, on the other paw, has the slightest bear upon of shimmery gold. It's more gilded than dark-brown, but I love both shades and attain for them often.
2. For a darker brown to use as a liner or in the outer 5, bank check out Brun or Concrete. Brun'south a blackish brown, and Concrete's a taupey brownish (I also utilize it to fill in my brows).
3. Additional browns worth checking out: Omega (a beigey taupe), Era (a soft golden biscuit) and Charcoal Brown (a muted taupe brown). Each of these shades gets very high ratings on Makeup Alley.

Young man fans of MAC's browns, can you think of any other non-orange/reddish brown eyeshadows that might work for Camille?

Your friendly neighborhood dazzler aficionado,

Karen
