MAC’s Smoke & Mirrors Eyeshadow Palette is a very mixable set of shades. I think this is probably the best palette for no-brainer, no-thinking-required kind of makeup and, of course, this all makes it a great travel palette. Even though I think of lots of silver and gray for a smoky eye, this palette makes for a great neutral and brown-based smoky eye.

Here are five different eyeshadow combinations you could try using just this palette…

• Inner Lid: Fire In Her Eyes Eyeshadow
• Outer Lid: Wide-Eyed Wonder Eyeshadow
• Crease: Black Magique Eyeshadow
• Brow: Fire In Her Eyes Eyeshadow
• Cheeks: Conjure Up! Mineralize Blush
• Lips: Sweetie Lipstick, She-Zam Dazzleglass

MAC’s Mystic Cool Eyeshadow Palette was not the easiest to mix and match. Both rows make great combinations, but when it comes to mixing them all… there just wasn’t as much variety as I’d like. I felt like I was really just swapping out one colour out of a trio and such.

What combinations have you tried?

Here are five different eyeshadow combinations you could try using just this palette…

• Inner Lid: Shhh Don’t Tell Eyeshadow
• Outer Lid: Rose Potion Eyeshadow
• Crease: Violet Vow Eyeshadow
• Brow: Cool Incantation Eyeshadow

• Lips: Total Wow! Lipstick, Jingle Jangle Dazzleglass

MAC’s Devil May Care Eyeshadow Palette is mostly warm-toned, and it has a good selection of shades to mix and match. I found this (along with the Smoke & Mirrors Palette) to be really easy to come with combinations for. I struggled a lot more with Sorceress and Mystic Cool! I feel like there are definitely a ton of combinations to be thought of with this palette, too!

What combinations have you tried?

Here are five different eyeshadow combinations you could try using just this palette...

• Inner Lid: Gold Tease Eyeshadow
• Outer Lid: Prankster Eyeshadow
• Crease: Devilishly Dark Eyeshadow
• Brow: Oh My Darling Eyeshadow
• Cheeks: Superdupernatural Mineralize Blush
• Lips: Surprise Me Lipstick, Boy Bait Cremesheen Glass

MAC’s Sorceress Eyeshadow Palette is filled with fairly cool-toned eyeshadows. I find that with as many purples and cool shades included in this palette, the best way to complement any eye look is going with cool pink, pale pink, or plummy shades on cheeks and cool-toned pinks or iridescent opals and purples for the lips.

Some notes: I didn’t find that the lip shades launched with MAC’s holiday collection worked particularly well with this palette, so I’d recommend looking in your stash for better shades! I also found that as pretty and unique as Hold My Gaze Eyeshadow is… it doesn’t work easily with this palette, because it’s has a definite green tone to it. I’d also recommend thinking about using it with some greens and golds for a better look.

What combinations have you tried?

Here are five different eyeshadow combinations you could try using just this palette…

• Inner Lid: Edge of Dark Eyeshadow
• Outer Lid: Magnetized Eyeshadow
• Crease: Altered State Eyeshadow

• Lips: Sweetie Lipstick, Ever So Rich Cremesheen Glass
