Colorful Look with MAC Peacocky

Here is a more colorful look with the new Mega Metal Eyeshadows!

You will need the following…

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.)?

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…

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 😛

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!

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!!

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!

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!

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.

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 🙁

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?

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.

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.

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!

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:

“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 🙁

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.

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!

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…

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!

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!!

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)

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.

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!

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?

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?

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. ^_^

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. ^_^

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 !!!)

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?

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!!!!
