My MAC Neutral Palette!

Before I dived into the world of MAC makeup, I did a lot of research into what eye shadow shades other bloggers have in their neutral palettes.

If you’re a complete MAC newbie like I was, getting an empty palette and creating your first ever MAC neutral palate, is a great way to get your foot in the high-end makeup door. There are soooooo many MAC shadows it can be a bit daunting as to which ones to buy first. I’ve found a mixture of other blogger recommendations and having a good swatching sesh at a MAC counter, to be the best way to decide which shades to get.

Hopefully this will be helpful to someone, so here we go! I have a 15x palette, which is home to the majority of my MAC neutrals. I also have a little quad that I change up and keep in my everyday makeup bag; you’ve probably seen this little guy in my videos. 

 
So lets start with my lighter shades and move onto the darks.

I also have two shadows that don’t fit into my main palette so are currently living in my quad.

I hope this was helpful, I know I found it helpful to look at similar posts when building my neutral palette. Over time you will get more familiar with MAC shades and will probably be able to decide which shades to get without any hesitation. Good luck on building your palette!
