![]() ![]() Here are 11 of 12 Dazzleshadows from the MAC Le Disko collection ($21 each)Expect a little movement as you go about your business wearing these because they do seem to shift and shimmy on my lids throughout the day. I’ve found that once the base dries, the Dazzleshadows don’t stick as well to my skin, so work as quickly so you can to get them on that wet surface. From the left, that’s She Sparkles, Last Dance, Try Me On, Say It Isn’t So, Can’t Stop Don’t Stop and Let’s Boogie 3. Swatches in the top row: the Dazzleshadows atop MAC Prep + Prime 24-Hour Extend Eye Base on the bottom row: the Dazzleshadows atop MAC Fluidline. You could use a finger…but I really do think it’s easier to be precise with these using a brush, and you can leave the brush dry, or wet it first with water or something like MAC Fix+ to intensify the shadows and make them shine even more. Basically, you want to apply them using something flat and super stiff because it’ll make it easier to place the shadows exactly where you want them. Reach for a flat, compact eye brushĪ flat concealer brush works really well with these. From the left: Boom Boom Room, Get Physical, Slow Fast Slow, Let’s Roll and Feel the Fever 2. If you’re going for all-out drama, use Blacktrack. Some of the shadows will end up looking completely different than they do in the pan, which I think is also pretty rad. Shadows applied on top of Blacktrack appear richer and deeper, and they take on a metallic finish. I applied it on my lids and buffed out the edges to feather out the glitter, then swept MAC Soft Brown into the crease, and got some nice compliments (one of them was even from a makeup artist, *blushes*).Īnd layering the Dazzleshadows on top of a Fluidline like Blacktrack is pretty fun, too. Last week I wore Last Dance (the peachy beige with pink sparkles) one night when we went out to dinner. I like this combination for stuff like going out to dinner or the movies, because it’s good glitter - noticeable, but not full-on Las Vegas bachelorette party glitter. When I layer the Dazzleshadows on top of MAC 24-Hour, I get bold glitter and a moderate amount of pigment that remains very true to the color you see in the pan. My favorite for these is MAC 24-Hour Extend Eye Base (which I like more than NARS Pro-Prime in this case because the MAC base stays “wet” longer), or sometimes a MAC Fluidline like Blacktrack, and you’ll get a different effect with each of these. I get my best results when I layer these Dazzleshadows on top of a creamy, wet base, because they love to latch onto something. Please! You’ll get glitter all over the place (read: fallout city) and won’t get the best pigment payoff. ![]() ![]() Whatever you do, don’t even think about applying these on dry skin like a traditional eyeshadow. On that note, when working with these, here are some things to keep in mind… 1. On my lids: Try Me On, with Last Dance in the inner corners and Feel the Fever along the lower lash lineYou can have tons of fun with these shadows - super shimmery glitter-fests and high-shine foiled effects - but in order to go buck wild, I think it helps to know how to work ’em otherwise, frustration could ensue. Feel the Fever - a deep blueish purple with pink sparkles.Get Physical - a purple with light blue sparkles.Slow/Fast/Flow - a bronze with red sparkles.I Like 2 Watch - a mid-toned brown with golden sparkles.Boom Boom Room - a light burgundy with emerald sparkles.Can’t Stop Don’t Stop - a deep plummy purple with sparkles.Say It Isn’t So - a dark gray with pink sparkles. ![]()
