Colorful Look with MAC Peacocky
Colorful Look with MAC Peacocky
Here is a more colorful look with the new Mega Metal Eyeshadows!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base (neutral eyeshadow base), MAC Dalliance Eyeshadow (pewter gold), MAC Odalisque Eyeshadow (blue-teal), MAC Noir Plum Eyeshadow (purple), Burberry Trench Eyeshadow, Make Up For Ever #12L Aqua Eyes (teal-blue) Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara (black)
- Face: Make Up For Ever HD Foundation (140), Burberry Pressed Powder (03)
- Cheeks: MAC Sur Blush (neutral pink-brown), MAC Gana Blush (champagne beige)
- Lips: MAC So Vain Kissable Lipcolour (pinked coral)
- Brushes: 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 222 (fluffy crease brush), 263 (angled eyeliner brush), 116 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: Dalliance = Urban Decay Maui Wowie; Odalisque = Shimmermoss + Deep Truth; Noir Plum = Grape pigment; Sur = Prism; Gana = Soft & Gentle; So Vain = Vegas Volt (sheered)
For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Using the 239, apply Dalliance eyeshadow all over the lid. Lightly blend Odalisque eyeshadow into the crease and blend into the outer corner with the 222. Next, apply Noir Plum eyeshadow into the lower crease with the 239 (horizontally), lightly blending with Odalisque. Blend Trench eyeshadow with the crease shade and highlight the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying #12L eyeliner on the lower lash line and pat Noir Plum eyeshadow on lower lower lash line with a dampened 219 to brighten. Finish by sweeping lashes with Inimitable Intense mascara.
For cheeks, apply Sur blush on the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116, then highlight with Gana blush using the 165.
For lips, apply So Vain lipcolour for a complementing lip.

I like this look on you subtle cheeks but bright eyes very nice 🙂
Thanks a lot, Christine!
Agreed! And Christine just has really pretty eyes 🙂
I love the color combo you did!
Thank you, Relle!
Reminds me of the Icecream look you made a while ago. Anyway, this combo looks gorgeous on you, Christine! 🙂
I thought it might! 🙂
the collection reminds of the song peacock by katy perry haha
EEEP A COLOURFUL LOOK! Not seen one of these from you for a while…
As always your eyeshadow is perfect and I cannot wait foe peacoky
loving the look once again x
Thank you, Hannah!
Wow! Very pretty Christine. You are so creative! I’m gonna try this with shades I already own.
Thanks, Dana!
So pretttttyyy!!!!! I think I’m gonna get the Dalliance e/s…not much of a colorful eyemakeup gal here. Maybe in 2011, i need to bust out of that rut, ey??
You should!!
Love it 😀
Thank you, Noga!
fab, I’m going to try this out with similar coloured eyeshadows that I already own!
Let me know what you use!
Hey I wore this today! I used (all UD) Midnight cowboy rides again, jinx and mayhem. I thought jinx and mayhem were similar to the MAC eyeshadows, MCRA is different but still worked with the look. thanks Christine!
Yay!!
looks great on you! These colors were all over fashion week in sept and I cannot WAIT to grab some. I haven’t hauled any MAC for a long time.
I thought I had read that the launch wasn’t until the 6th. The collection is up on maccosmetics.com now, with my PRO login.
Yup! Pro members get 1 week early access now 🙂
So pretty! You’re making it hard to limit myself to one or two colors. I hope these shadows will be indicative of the ones MAC plans to make into the future as the formula looks so smooth and amazing.
Sorry 😛
Gorgeous colours!
Thanks, Dawn!
i wanna get all 3 shadows you use in this look love them
it looks nice and fresh on you christine! (:
Thank you, Pearlyn!
I love this look on you! Super gorgeous 🙂
Thanks a lot, Hana!
Very beautiful!! i now want to get So Vain!
Thanks, Pam!
really really pretty look….i used to do a similar look in high school like everyday, brought a smile to me!
Thanks so much, Vonnie!
Omgosh love those colors!!!
Thanks, Alexandra!
Gorgeous! Love it!
Thank you, Anita! 🙂
Lovely. <3
Thanks, Helu!
this looks gorgeous!! and I think that the color of your shirt is totally flattering on you 🙂 really great ^^
Thanks a lot, Lani!
Christine I can’t tell you how happy I am that you’re doing looks again!!!! I get so much makeup inspiration from them!
I’m glad you like them, Lulee! 🙂 It really means a lot to me!
Love this look! Subtle yet striking at the same time!
Thank you, Pamela!
that is just gorgeous! i love the laying of colours 🙂
Thank you!
Wow…linda!! I wish I could pull off a makeup like that!!
You totally could!!
Such a pretty, springy look! Love it:)
Thanks, Megan!
Wonderfull make up. I think Odalisque is the one I’ll bye.
Thanks, Laurence!
I love it! I want this whole collection!
Which are your faves?
Very pretty look! 🙂
Thanks, Wanncha!
Such a pretty look. So very “peacocky”. Can’t wait to experiment with the new colors!
Thank you, Dini!
ZOMG! So wonderful! I love it!
Always love yellow-green-teal-blue-violet variation! So peacocky <3
Thanks a lot, Polly!
Very pretty!! I wasn’t going to buy anything from this collection but i may reconsider now after seeing this look. And i notice hat you use Nars smudeproof base a lot lately, is this base the best one out right now??? Or why do you choose that one over, lets say too faced or UDPP? (despite its packaging prob.)?
Thanks, Morena! UDPP creases on me, TFSI dulls down shadows (IMO) a bit, and I hate how TFSI separates.
Gorgeous, Christine! A nice pop of colour during my cold, Canadian winter:) Of course, now I have to add these colours to my Mega Metal order because they look so amazing on you…bye bye wallet…
Thank you, Jennifer!
love, love, love the look, christine!! gorgeous!! =)
Thanks a lot, Jae!
Oh my God, Christine! These colours are perfect for you! Your brown eyes really pop! And I love the coral lip.
Aw, thanks Francesca!
awesome! fantastic! i love these kinda looks. u look great. and your sweater is very pretty also.
Thank you, Kuheli!
Verry nice!
Thanks, Germa!
somehow the shirt’s color is really complementing this look hahaha 😀
I love the lip color, the eye look also but I’m not sure I could do it myself for now 😛
Thank you, Melinda!
Wow Christine– love those colors! UD just went live with the new stuff and this look works perfectly!
Thank ya, Lissa!
This definitely makes me want Noir Plum, this is a lovely look Christine! It’s colorful but still soft!
It’s a nice one!
The eyes look stunning, Christine! The shadows look like they blend like a dream. “Yes, I said blend like a dream.” Keep the inspiration coming!
They do!!
this is beautiful. I’m so inspired and now I’m convinced I need all Peacocky eyeshadows even more.
Thanks, Angie 😀
Very pretty… Does Dalliance compare in any way to Gana?
Kind of… but the texture is different, it’s lighter – more pewter – and more pigmented.
I love it! Colorful yet wearable!! Brilliant makeup
Thanks, Heather!
Do you put the eyeshadow base on your lower lid too?
I put it on my entire eyelid – from upper lash line to under the brow!
This is absolutely gorgeous! Lovely colors and they look great on you. Lots of color without looking cartoon-ish.
Thank you 😀
Very nice look. it reminds me of this look:
http://www.temptalia.com/birthday-makeup-ice-cream-swirl-cake
I prefer this one actually but I can’t quite figure out why. Maybe because it looks more “mature”, I don’t know. ^^
I thought it might 🙂
Gorgeous !!!!! =) and now I’m even more in love with noir plum!!!
Thank ya, Federica!
Colorful and fun but classy at the same time! 🙂
Thank you, Rizzie!
I like!
Yay!
Beautiful! I love all the colors you used.
Thanks, Grace!
The colors on your eyes are pretty but I have to admit, Sur, Gana, and So Vain look absolutely amazing on you. Like you just got back from a tropical spa vacation. Very natural. The shimmer of Gana seems to perfectly match the shimmer your skin naturally has in flash photography. I am def gonna pick that one up!!
Sur + Gana is actually a very nice effect together!
Love this look Christine! You look goregous! So happy to see another great look!
Thank you, Malia!
love it *-*
but i would never wear that… tooo colorful :3
Aww, you should try it, Nadine!
wow!
I hope that’s a good wow! LOL!
its a great wow! beautiful! initially i only wanted the neutral colors, but now i want the bright colors also!!
So beautiful!
You really have the skills of a professional make up artist!
I would love being able to do the same! ^^
Love that collection! The mega metal eyeshadows are so wonderful! Hope they won’t be too expensive in France…
Thank you for that look!
Thank you so much, Clemence! 🙂
ok Christine you have always been an amazing artist but lately you have been creating some awesome looks that are DEAD GORGEOUS <3 <3 <3 will dupe this soon =D
Aw, thanks Egon!
I love this look, christine!! You’re so talented!
Thanks so much, Lindey!
This is simply gorgeous, and I’m loving Dalliance
Thanks a lot, Amanda!
This is gorgeous!
Thanks, Liesbeth!
Love this look! Colourful and fresh.
Thanks a lot, Steph! 🙂
Noir Plum and especially Odalisque were my two must-haves specifically so I could do a purple/teal/gold look. This look is soooo pretty! You’re making me want Dalliance now, haha!
Uh oh!
you are beautiful!
Thank you, Alexandra!
Thank you, Alexandra! 🙂
I love how you make colorful looks so wearable (even for daytime)!
Thanks, Krissy! 😀

Okay, I am officially IN LOVE with Noir Plum. It looks like the perfect tone of violet in this FOTD!
Yayyy!
Very beautiful. Reminds me of a mermaid!
Thanks, Leah!
I love this <3 I'm gonna try to recreate it with my UD bos3….?
Thanks so much, Alexandra 😀
I love colorful make up! Your looks is really cute, simple but bright!
Thanks so much!
Wow!! Love this look 🙂 You look stunning Christine!
Thanks a lot, Melody!
gorgeous! when you mentioned an “eyeshadow base” is this the same thing as a primer?
Yup!
Love it, my third fave look on you! Looks a lot like your birthday cake makeup look, which is my second favorite!
Thanks, LU!
What a gorgeous look,
You are so beautyful.
Can you also do a look with the cham pale quad?? This would be great.
Thank you for you’re bolgging, this blog is sooooo great.
Thank you, Shalex!
Is there going to be a tutorial? It is beautiful!
No tut 🙁
Gorgeous!! How did you receive the peacocky collection early? I love the colors.
PRO stores always sell 1 week early!
Gorgeous!
Thanks, Chelsie!
OMG! I love it. Though, how did you apply the eyeshadow on the lower lash line? It looks beautiful! Everytime I try to do it, I mess it up 🙁
Thank you, Vrushali! I use the 219!
The colours look very pretty together. I think this is one of my favourite FOTDs you have put together in awhile.
Thanks, Amy!
christine, you havent done a colorful eye in awhile. this is pretty
Thanks a lot, Cat!
Stunning! This is one of my favorite looks of yours.
Thanks so much, Via!
This is incredible!!! Gorgeous!
Thank you, Rikki!
yer lips look deliciously kissable. will def check out the lip colours more than anything
Haha! 🙂
that’s beautiful Christine but oh my, isn’t there a lot of glittery fall out? that would drive me insane !
Thanks, Susan! No, not at all!
This is gorgeous, Christine. You make me want to buy everything!
Thanks so much, Shontay!
You make it awfully hard not to want to run out and get all these colors! That is as gorgeous look on you!
Question: Are the metal shadows larger in size than a regular MAC shadow? I’m curious to know why the price is so high?
Yup, they are over twice the size!
I love love love this look!!beautyful..
Thanks a lot, Martina!
prettyyy 🙂
Thank you, Annie! 😀
Also curious to know if there’s a lot of fallout with these shadows? Soooooo pretty!
Nope!
Stunning look!
Thanks, Shivani!
love this look! soft and pretty but still colorful!
Thank ya, Nicole! 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous look! I love those colors! I really want dalliance, such a gorgeous shade!
Thanks a lot, Melanie!
Beautiful!
Thanks so much, Hannah!
Love this look!!!!
Thanks a lot, Andrea 🙂
Every time you do a new look from this collection, I add more colors to my list to buy. There really are beautiful colors in this collection.
Aww!!
Love this look! So glad to see you’re doing make-up looks again. 🙂
Thanks, Kiwi Cozy! 🙂
So pretty!
Looks like a purple and light gold eye and then you get that pop of teal blue… I’m going to have to try this!
Love how you did your lower lashline too.
Thank you, CeeBee!
Aah, I think you’ve convinced me I need Dalliance!
And that colour shirt makes your skin glow 🙂 So pretty!
Dalliance is love!
That’s beautiful, I love the colors.
Thanks a lot, Joyce!
Ahhhh… this looks so pretty. I NEED everything you used on your eyes. You should get paid tons of money for what you do because you sell products like no one else! Well, I know you don’t SELL them, but you sure make me want to buy them!
Aww 😉
This is a great wearable look with a pop of great vivid color! I never wear bright colors and I would def try this out!
Thanks, Kelly!
This is gorgeous! How do you get your colors so vibrant? I only use MAC products (minus the primer, I use UDPP) and after finishing they’re never this vibrant. Do you foil? Or just use it dry? D:
Thank you, Lily! Dry!
This look is bright and colorful!You look great,it reminds me of a peacock!
I shall try this look!
Thanks a lot, Mulki!
“So Vain” looks absolutely gorgeous on you!!! I’ve always wanted to find the perfect coral lipcolour since my MAC 2N streaks like crazy on me! I might pick this one up on my trip to Melbourne, I just hope it doesn’t streak as much as 2N did on my pigmented lips 🙁
I love this look! Bolder colors always look great on you…and on me too so I shall steal yet another one of your looks!!! lol
Thanks so much, Lady Di! 😀
Gorgeous! I love how Noir Plum looks when blended with Odalisque. It creates a beautiful color purple.
Thank you, Jenn!
wow that’s such a cute look!
Thanks, Yiota!
I like this look. It reminds me of the birthday cake look you did!
Thanks a lot, Maeve!
Very pretty!
Thanks, Jessi!
I love, love, love the eyes!
Glad you liked ’em, Laura!
This is such a fun, beautiful look! Odalisque and Noir Plum are definitely colors I’d wear. Dalliance makes fr a great lid shade with the more vibrant Odalisque and Noir Plum.
Thanks, Phyrra!
that is sucha beautiful combo! will there be a youtube tutorial on this?
so sad! i tried it just now and managed to get the colors and placement to match but I dont have a lot of lid space so it didnt quite work out for me 🙁 but its still beautiful nonetheless!
No tut, sorry! :/
I can’t even begin to say how much I love this look. Nice job Christine! Your makeup skills are fantastic.
Thank ya!
LOVE it!
Thanks, Maya!
great look Christine! thanks for using Peacocky in a look, now that i see a look using Peacocky, the eyeshadows I wanted (used in your look) seem rather easily dupable…maybe I’ll save my $ and skip the eyeshadows in this collection…
Thanks a lot, Ellie! 🙂
Christine, I love love love this look. You look gorgeous!!!
Thanks, Cynthia!
This look is gorgeous on you.. I think im going to purchase all the colors used to produce look..
Aw, thanks Angelicaflora!
I think this might be one of my favourite looks you’ve done lately! I always like them, but the new sort of shape/blending you’ve used for the last few have been really nice. Pushes me outside my current scheme a bit and gets me to think of new ways/combinations. Thanks!
Oh wow! Thank you 😀
Gorgeous! One of the best so far.
Thanks, Marina!
Gorgeous! Just lightens up the rest of you. 🙂
P.S. What kind of camera do you use? The macro on it is just…wow.
Nikon D90!
LOVE this look! I didn’t think much of it until I saw the entire face, and then wow! The lip colour is beautiful on you, I wish it was that colour on me!!
Thank you so much, Laurz!
Love the colors …so bright and colorful 😀 I dont think I can pull this off tho, but beautiful.
Thank ya! 😀
Aww, fishsticks, now I have to add Dalliance and Noir Plum to my wishlist. D8
(I don’t blame you though, the collection really is THAT amazing)
Haha!
What a beautiful look. I am going to copy this for sure! 🙂
The teal really does add some oomph to this look.
Lovely. As always!
Yay! I hope you like it, Hilana!
I love love love this! Can’t wait to try it for a night out. As always, you did such a good job with the color combo.
Thanks, Anna! 😀
Beautiful!
Love your make up, and you’re verry pretty, wow!
xoxo from France!
Thank you, Mavalca!
lovely combination, looks great on you!!! want to try this collection, wasn’t going to, but now have to jajajaja
Thanks, Luisafer!
i love this look, it’s flattering and beautiful
Thanks, Jacquelyn!
Have you changed anything with your brows lately? They look amazing! Not that they didn’t look fab before but for some reason the last few looks you’ve posted your eyebrows have just really looked beautiful.
Nope, LOL!
This look is stunning on you! Wish I had the talent to do this and have it turn out so well
Thank you, Emma!
I love that pop of teal liner on the center of your lower lid. It really adds dimension. Very nice. I wound up purchasing Dalliance and Odalisque because of you! I would have already purchased Noir Plum — too gorgeous to pass up even though I own 10,000 purple shadows! Can’t wait to get my haul:
Dalliance
Noir Plum
Odalisque
Sex-pectations
Unflappable
Centre Stage
So grateful for the service you provide, Christine!
Aww, yay! So glad you hauled!
I love this!!!! christine!! did you do a youtube vid for this ??
I didn’t! 🙁
Aw, so pretty! I’m a bit “afraid” of this color combination since I have very bright blue eyes. Do you think this would be suitable for me?
Yes!
Awwwwwww relly beautiful colors …..Magical wow…!!
Honey, you have MAD blending skills. I love this look.
New Years blessings.
I tried this using the dupes you recommended — maui wowee, grape pigment, and some color from the star flash collection but nothing appeared quite as vibrant. Did you wet your brush?
I only used Dalliance wet on the lower lash line!
It’s perfect!
very pretty :o)
Hi Christine! Not sure if I’ve commented before lol but I love this look. 😀
I tried this look today, but with dupes.
I used Maui Wowie, Push the Edge pigment and Haight from UD. I must say, it looks pretty. ^_^
YAY! 😀
gorgeous colors!
Thank you, Aja Marie!
Gorgeous look! You definitely captured the spirit of the peacocky collection! I was wondering if the Make Up For Ever teal eyeliner is comparable to MAC’s Undercurrent pearlglide eyeliner. If there’s not too much of a difference I will probably go with that because it’s cheaper. ^_^
Thank you! Undercurrent is much, much tealer – lighter and brighter, plus the gold shimmer.
Very nice ! Love these kind of colors, like in a fairytale… Thanks for your website ! (But how can you try all these products ? You’re so a lucky girl !!!)
From south of France.
Tiffany
This is gorgeous!!!!!!
Thanks, Katie!
love your eye makeup, that lipgloss is so pretty.
Thanks, Fabiola!
I tried this look but the colors kind of blended together, lol. How did you make yours look so clean? (I do fine until I put on Noir Plum) ^_^
Pat the color on first 🙂
Thanks! You rock!
Does anyone else think another color like maybe Woo Me or Super would look nice with this look? I’m getting my Peacocky delivery later today (hopefully) and I can’t wait to try this out. I think my skin is cooler than the lovely Christine’s so I don’t feel confident enough to pull off So Vain. Think Woo Me or Super would do well?
Woo Me would definitely work 🙂
This look is so pretty Christine! You just keep getting better and better. 🙂
Thanks, Jennifer!
this look is beautiful.. and you are gorgeous!!!
Thank you, Laura!
I love this look! It sucks that most of the eyeshadows are no longer available but I’m going to try to find them or the closest color I can find!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!!
Thank you, Debbie!
I love this! ^_^
Love this look! Gonna try this one for school tomorrow! Thnxxxxx ♥
