MAC "Woodwinked" Eye Shadow Swatch + Review

MAC "Woodwinked" Eye Shadow
It's time for another MAC eye shadow review! Surprisingly, I've found that these are really fun to write. When I first started getting into makeup, reading beauty blogs and watching videos from the beauty community on YouTube, I kept hearing about this MAC eyeshadow called "Woodwinked". Elle Fowler (aka All That Glitters) loved it. Lollipop26 loved it. Everyone and their mother loved this stuff.

Every time I went to MAC, I would always stop and swatch "Woodwinked". It was a lovely color, sure, but could I justify spending so much on an eye shadow? This was back in high school when the only time I got to buy MAC products was when I got my makeup done for a special occasion like Homecoming or Prom. Back then $15 was a lot of money for an eye shadow. Heck, even now it's a lot of money. But, in the end, I finally picked up this shadow when I got my makeup done for Prom. I still remember how excited I was to use it.

 "Woodwinked" is an interesting color. It looks brown and a little olive-y in the pan but swatched on the skin it becomes this beautiful copper-brown color. It's a lovely color but I've heard from a lot of people with very light skin tones that the color can look a bit orangish on their skin. However, "Woodwinked" is stunning with a tan. It is my go-to summer shadow.

"Woodwinked" is a luxurious eye shadow. It is so soft and easy to blend. I always forget how soft high end eye shadows feel in comparison to drugstore brands. In all honesty, even though I love using drugstore eye shadows, there is a noticeable difference between the two. If you have the money to splurge, I highly recommend this shade. But, be sure that you try it on to make sure it suits you.
