Have you ever heard the sound of makeup heartbreak? It sounds like broken pieces of eyeshadow sliding around in a MAC holiday palette…

Yes, this happened.

But I didn’t let it stop me! To paraphrase the great Celine Dion, “My heart will go on…using these shadows with my makeup brushes.”

I finally took the new MAC Enchanted Eve Eyes/Warm Eye shadow X 6 palette ($39.50) from the MAC holiday 2015 collection (coming to the MAC web site Oct. 18 and MAC counters and stores Oct. 22) out for a spin this week in the hopes that it would do a better than the Navy version, and the verdit?

The Enchanted Eve Eyes/Warm Eye shadow X 6 palette includes…

Veluxe Pearl Eye shadow in Seasonal Spirit, a warm yellowish tan

Frost Eye shadow in Moodmaker, an oaky brown

Satin Eye shadow in Sax Appeal, a soft taupe-brown

Velvet Eye shadow in Bewitchin’, a warm chestnut brown

Matte Eye shadow in Charcoal Brown, a muted taupe-brown

Lustre Eye shadow in Restrospeck, a bleach blonde

A dual-ended 217/266 brush (not visualized above)

Well, the shadows are a little a lot more pigmented than the shadows in the Navy palette, which is nice, but they aren’t much much easier to blend. Sadly, I don’t think they’re as smooth as the shadows in the MAC permanent line either.

It’s a great combination of neutral colors, so if you’re on the market for neutrals and don’t have much of a MAC collection now, it’s probably worth considering… I think the packaging looks pretty, but I’d still probably opt to get one or a lot more of the shadow singles in the MAC permanent line instead.
