MAC Veluxe Pearlfusion shadow in Brownluxe ($40, available now in the MAC permanent collection)
One of the downsides of deep-cleaning one’s office (yes, operation get My Sh*t together is still ongoing) is finding a substantial mound of stale cat treats behind a box of eye palettes and realizing, “Holy freaking crap! I’m the woman who had a pile of stale cat treats in her office and has no idea how long they were there!”
It could have been days, weeks or even years, and frankly I’m surprised that Tabs didn’t find them, because I’m sure he would have “removed” them for me.

Hey girl, haaaay!
Before you click away thinking, “This woman is crazy,” I do have a point, and it is this: one of the upsides of deep-cleaning one’s office is rediscovering long-loved and lost gems like MAC Brownluxe Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow.
If you like wearing eyeshadow but feel like your blending skills are lacking, and/or you’re typically in a hurry to get out the door, and/or you can’t bear the thought of buffing out three layers of Soft brown with your 217, YOU need THIS IN YOUR LIFE.
“Five complementary shades that glide on and blend beautifully for infinite day-to-night looks: egg shell, frosty orange gold, light yellow chocolate, deep bronze, blackened plum with pearl. Matte to highly pearlized finish.”

A few of the MAC Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadows…
The MAC Veluxe Pearlfusions have a different formula than the regular MAC powder shadows that come in the round pans. Softer and silkier, they feel almost creamy to the touch.
Each Veluxe Pearlfusion palette (Plumluxe, Copperluxe, Peachluxe, etc.) has its own distinct color theme, and within each palette, you get five Veluxe Pearlfusion shadows hand-selected to work together in that particular theme.
Browluxe, one of my favorites in the Veluxe Pearlfusion fam, has a soft, shimmery eggshell beige; a satiny, medium golden tan; a glittery, orangey gold; a shimmery chocolate; and a shimmery, deep plummy brown — all colors that I could happily wear daily for the rest of my life based on how I’ve been feeling lately, ’cause I’ve been all about #datneutrallife.

But it’s not just the Brownluxe colors that I like. The Veluxe Pearlfusion formula is also just plain fab. It’s really, really easy to blend. even if you’re completely new to eyeshadow, I think you could do a look incorporating two or three (or maybe even all five!) of these colors, and have it turn out looking like you know exactly what you’re doing.
I don’t know what kind of cosmetic witchery is at work, but it’s probably related to the creamy formula. Erasing edges between the colors and creating diffused gradients that seamlessly transition from light to dark, which are telltale signs of someone who’s been blending for a while, is easy with these shadows.
Brownluxe is the best if you’re always running late (story of my life). I wore it yesterday to a meeting in the city with some beauty folks, and I only had 20 minutes to do a full face of makeup from start to finish. Brownluxe helped me quickly do a neutral cat eye, which I paired with a bright hot pink lip (MAC Pink Pigeon), and I think it turned out looking like I spent 45 minutes instead of 20.
Wearing MAC Brownluxe on my eyes
I really do believe that Brownluxe would be terrific for anyone new to blending shadows. Newbies, I’m talking to you! You’d have a good time with it, and later, after you’ve explored and experimented more with color, you’d be able to work these same neutrals into your brighter looks.
There are a couple of other things I should also mention…like the shape of the Veluxe Pearlfusion pans. They’re long and thin, so don’t even bother trying to use a big eye brush. It would just pick up color from neighboring pans. When I work with these, I always use brushes with smaller brush heads like the MAC 239 and MAC 217, and occasionally I’ll get a pencil brush up in the mix, like if I’m smudging out my lash lines.
Also, be sure to tap your brush first to remove any excess and reduce fallout. I say again: tap your brush first. tap YOUR brush FIRST.
You really ought to tap your brush first. because some of these shadows do exhibit a little fallout. but it’s not a substantial amount.
Wearing MAC Brownluxe on my eyes
And then there are the flattering finishes. Girl, as I grow up (haha), things like the way a shimmery product reads on my skin really, really matter, and I love the way these shimmer. They look silky smooth on lids, even lids with fine lines (ahem, like mine). It’s almosCa că purtați perle zdrobite ușor strălucitoare … Este foarte elegant și asemănător cu ceea ce ați putea găsi la Chanel.
Timpul de uzură este, de asemenea, răul. Am avut o zi lungă ieri, iar după 12 ore, am putut vedea în continuare umbrele de browllux, strălucind încet pe capacele mele (pentru referință, am o combinație uleioasă / uscată combinație).
Simt că ar trebui să răspândesc dragostea de brownluxe. Voi vorbi despre asta cu oricine va asculta și dacă ați făcut-o atât de departe în acest post, sper că încercați. Cred că veți găsi ceva minunat.
