MAC makeup products offer professional quality and loads of choices. The range of colors available is simply astounding. But, what do you do with all those colors and choices? Many people stick with a certain shade for years and years. Taking a little risk with your eye and lip color is a good way to perk up a stale look. Choosing the right color isn’t impossible, you just need to be pointed in the right direction.

Some eye makeup guidelines to keep in mind when looking over all your choices involve taking special consideration of your own eye color and the effect you are looking to create with color. MAC has so many eyeshadow shades that it can be overwhelming to try and choose the one that will look best on you. Here are a few MAC makeup tips to help you out: Generally, if you have blue eyes, then try soft browns, pink or sandy shades. Brown eyes look nice with green shadows or charcoal grays. Green eyes can be nicely accented with khaki and purples. Contrasting your eye shadow against the color of your eye is a standard rule of thumb for a accenting your natural beauty.

For an even subtler approach, consider simply mimicking a natural shadow on your eye lid. This calls for a light hand and black or brown eye shadows. Black may seem like an unusual choice when make up shopping, but it create a dimensional effect when used correctly. White eye shadow is another must have. This is helpful in highlighting the inner corner of the eye, as well as the brow bone. Some white-ish MAC shades you may want to try are Ricepaper, Vellum or Nylon.

Taking it a step further though, consider the actual effect you want to achieve. If you are looking for an artistic nighttime look, experiment with shocking colors. MAC has plenty of these. Browse fashion magazines for examples of a wild look to copy or go to the counter for help from a MAC makeup artist. They can help show you some makeup tutorials for more dramatic looks. While this wouldn’t be a good idea for everyday, remember that makeup is not just functional. It can be an important accessory and can help you make a fashion statement – and doing just this is a MAC Cosmetics specialty.
