Heatherette Eye Shadow Trio 1.

Looking online simply does not do many of the Heatherette shades justice. In person the Heatherette for MAC Collection has exceeded my expectations. From the hot hot-pink to the metallic fuchsia along with the holographic foil decoration of the packaging, to the beautiful shades inside the palettes, compacts and tubes.

My favorite piece of the collection is the Eye Shadow Trio 1.

The shades in this palette:
Hoppin’ Clean Pastel Peach (frost)
Mood Ring Pastel Mint Green (veluxe pearl)
Cloudburst True Black with Subtle Green Pearl (velvet)

When looking at the photo of this  trio on MAC, I thought it was too bright. But I was wrong. The shades are simply gorgeous and appear much softer in real light.

I am using the peachy/pink shade all over my brow bone and eye lid with the teal shade (really, it is much more of a teal than a mint green) on  the outer two-thirds of my lid. I then take my MAC 211 Brush and use the darkest black shade that has sparkles of the teal shade in it, as an upper and lower liner. It is beautiful. The sparkle is subtle, but it softens the black and brings the teal shade out more.

The Heatherette Trio's (which are back in stock over at maccosmetics.com) retail for $32.50. And if you are a gal that loves the pink and lilac shades, then you will want to check out the other eye palette, Trio 2.

Interesting post! I love the colors in theory but I'm having a hard time making them work for me. I love the pink, but I think the teal just doesn't work with my eye color. what color are your eyes?

Hey, BellaSugar.

You really need to try the colors out. They are very soft, especially the teal. My eyes are a hazel green, and I think it looks beautiful when using the peach/pink over most of the eye with just a hint of the teal. I know that the color layered to be a deeper color would rock with a tan, but I am still a few months away from that, even though I am about to start my fake baking any day!
