My Ode to Eyeshadows

I have a confession to make. I'm obsessed with eyeshadows. It's like the way Carrie Bradshaw felt about shoes. In fact, last night I found myself sending a frantic message to Anastasia Beverly Hills begging them to make "Treasure" a single eyeshadow because I've hit pan on the one in my Self Made Palette. Is there a support group for this? Some days I'm like no one needs 100 eyeshadows. Yet, I can't imagine living without any of them. So I'm just going to list out the eyeshadows that I can NOT live without. #Sorrynotsorry

OK first of all, it took me wayyy too long to discover Makeup Geek eyeshadows. They are honestly better than MAC and a fraction of the price. So I'm just going to go ahead and list them out for ya. No particular order.



1. Peach Smoothie - RIDE OR DIE. Get in my crease every single day
2. Cocoa bear
3. Americano
4. Beaches and Cream
5. Bitten
6. Dirty Martini - I'm obsessed with olive green eyeshadows and this one is just...magical
7. Chickadee - Before you are like, orange eyeshadow say what? It's so pretty and flattering and will        brighten you up like the sun
8. Ice queen
9. Wisteria
10. Corrupt - a really black matte shadow which we all need

Foiled eyeshadows



*Note: The foiled eyeshadows are slightly more expensive, but its because they are soooo pigmented and sparkly and beautiful
10. Magic Act
11. Grandstand
12. Flame thrower
13. Houdini
14. Jester

Natasha Denona

OK so these eyeshadows are kind of pricey BUT they are the most buttery, pigmented, beautiful, amazing eyeshadows I've ever encountered. Like they are life changing. I recommend getting one of the palettes of 5's because I feel like you get 5 amazing shadows without totally breaking the bank.

Anastasia 

Everything that Anastasia does is just magic. She totally conquered the brow world and there is literally nothing else I'd use on my brows ever. Her lipglosses and liquid lipsticks are awesome sauce. And her eyeshadows are gorgeous and I loooove them.

Note: I would say orange soda or soft peach, but if you have peach smoothie you are good to go and it's much less expensive!



1. Pink champagne - This is my favorite eyeshadow EVERR. Yes, i said it. Ever.
2. Rosette
3. Metal
4. Hot chocolate
5. Dusty Rose
6. Fawn
7. Sateen (anastasia told me this was as close to treasure as I was gonna get)
8. Morocco
9. Truffle Glitter
10. Macaroon
11. Fudge
12. Aubergine

MAC 



So lately I've been straying a little away from MAC but there are some eyeshadows from MAC that are just must have or you should find dupes for them because if you ask me everyone should have colors like these in their collection. So these are the colors that you should either get or try to emulate I feel.

1. Soft brown. It's just the best crease color ever and goes with any look.
2. Satin Taupe
3. Brown Script - everyone needs a reddish brown in their life
4. Naked Lunch - pretty champagney lid color
5. Sketch - this is the perfect wine color/purple
6. Nylon - it's a really great shimmy white for an inner corner highlight or underneath the brow. But if shimmery is not your jam, go with Shroom
7. Kid - Kid is a really great transition shade for cool toned looks
8. Embark
9. Samoa Silk
10. All That Glitters
11. Expensive Pink (if you like pink. which I dooo)



So obviously you do not need all of these. At all. If i had to just pick 5 eyeshadows to use for the rest of my life that would be so hard. So so hard. Actually I can't do it. So I can't feel help you, but this is at least a start!
