Ha ha…I had a love-hate relationship with this beauty at first, but I finally came up with a smokey-eye look that I got to work on me
Smoked out lid with Lancome Le Crayon Khol in Black Coffee, packed Mekong all over lid and dragged to crease, blended MAC Tempting along the crease, MAC Ricepaper to highlight browbone and inner eye. MAC Feline Kohl to waterline. I used NARS Lovejoy for cheeks and for lips, Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine in BG943.
i bought this a few months ago but have never used it. i find the texture isn’t the easiest to apply.
golds!to make a gorgeous smokey eye and a gold or brown blush and nude lips i dont have this but is it anything like the brown that came out in style black?
No this is more dark brown, where the MAC Style Black one was more gold.
I hate the texture of this ES.. I much prefer Galapagos
Well, I wouldn’t. I ended up returning this to Sephora. On my lids it simply looked black. …I have black eyeshadow so no thank you. Loved how it looked in the pan and swatched, though!
Hey aramis! Mekong is quite different than Gilt by Association from MAC Style Black. Mekong is dark brown based with gold and GBA is black.
As for pairings, I used this today with MAC Dreammaker as a highlight and on the inner third of the lid. For the middle third of the lid and above the crease I used the plum shade of the NARS Brousse eye shadow duo. Mekong in the outer corner and outer third of the lid. NARS Madly blush over NARS Copacabana Multiple for cheeks. For lips, I used MAC A Way to Love lipstick with MAC Mimmy lip glass.
MAC bronze on lids and mekong on outer V, smoked out and lightly blended to the crease…
did this look this past weekend and loved it!
*sunny by nature MSF on cheeks
*brave new bronze lipstick and liberated l/g
MAC woodwinked on the lids then NARS mekong in the outer v.
mekong just smoked out and desire l/s from mac
i love this color but it can be hard to work with just because it is so intense. i use with smokey looks but i can only pull it off on the weekends. i never wear this to work… (this is the only downside). maybe if i had a darker skin tone this would look better to wear in a professional setting.
i still love but it is not an everyday color.
is it worth buying? cuz it seems to be a very good seller
i’m’ planning on buying condura
its seem quite similar with mekong
I would look up swatches or visit a store if you can. I remember when I was researching it myself there were comparison blog entries, etc. online. There are also comparisons with it vs. Galapagos (a lighter brown with gold flecks).
I teamed it up with the indian summer nars duo and got loads of great compliments. i love this eyeshadow! it’s perfect for creating glamorous fall looks! x
I love this eyeshadow it is very pigmented! I use MUFE black liner for my waterline then smudge and blend mekong on my lower lid. For the upper lid I pack French cuff (from blonde red and brunette collection) for the crease I use maira’s mood (from makeup art cosmetics collection) for the the highlight I use vapour and for the finishing touch I add some gold mode pigment on the inner corners. One of my favourite looks.
Abbysinia all over, cyprus on lid, galapagos along lash line and crease, mekong outer v, cyprus/galapagos battom lash line and liitle mekong. Laguna bronzer with touch of lovejoy blush, sweet revenge lip gloss.
