Are you ready to boogie? omdat ik ben! — in MAC Dazzleshadows from the new MAC Le Disko collectionWANTED — One illuminating disco floor (complete with square floor tiles that change color to the beat of the music) and silver disco ball for impromptu office party. I’ll offer music and cat (because what’s a disco party without a chubby tabby? — a HELLA boring disco party, that’s what). You bring your slickest bell-bottoms and signature moves.
En lieu of cover charge, arrive wearing one of the new Dazzleshadow eyeshadows from the new MAC Le Disko collection, and enter the front door doing The Hustle.

He’s a brick…house!
For the shadow-loving roller girls out there, the MAC Le Disko collection is available now and bristling with Dazzleglasses, a couple of Superslicks (the gold and silver shades, both re-promotes) and a flat shader brush (also a re-promote), but I feel like many of the items are sideshows for the Dazzleshadow main event — a line of very sparkly metallic glittery eyeshadows that could very well make you go “Ooh!” when you open them.
11 of the 12 Dazzleshadows from the MAC Le Disko collection, $21 eachI don’t remember ever seeing these before, so I think they’re a new MAC shadow formulation, in this case limited edition, $21 each, and available in 12 shades…
She sparkles — a light gray with silver sparkles
Last dance — a peachy beige with pink sparkles
Let’s Roll — a reddish bronze with sparkles
Try Me On — a deep blueish green with sparkles
Say It Isn’t So — a dark gray with pink sparkles
Can’t stop Don’t stop — a deep plummy purple with sparkles
Let’s Boogie — a black with sparkles
Boom grow room — a light burgundy with emerald sparkles
I like 2 view — a mid-toned brown with golden sparkles
Slow/Fast/Flow — a bronze with red sparkles
Get Physical — a purple with light blue sparkles
Feel the Fever — a deep blueish purple with pink sparkles
On my lids: try Me On, with Last dance in the inner corners and feel the Fever along the lower lash lineYou can have tons of fun with these shadows — very shimmery glitter-fests and high-shine foiled effects — but in purchase to go buck wild, I think it helps to know how to work ’em; otherwise, frustration could ensue.

On that note, when working with these, here are some things to keep in mind…
1. use a creamy base
Whatever you do, don’t even think about applying these on dry skin like a conventional eyeshadow. Alsjeblieft! You’ll get glitter all over the place (read: fallout city) and won’t get the best pigment payoff.
I get my best results when I layer these Dazzleshadows on top of a creamy, wet base, because they love to latch onto something. My favorite for these is MAC 24-Hour extend Eye Base (which I like much more than NARS Pro-Prime in this case because the MAC base stays “wet” longer), or in some cases a MAC Fluidline like Blacktrack, and you’ll get a different effect with each of these.
When I layer the Dazzleshadows on top of MAC 24-Hour, I get bold glitter and a moderate amount of pigment that remains very true to the color you see in the pan.
I like this combination for stuff like going out to dinner or the movies, because it’s good glitter — noticeable, but not full-on Las vegas bachelorette party glitter.
Last week I wore Last dance (the peachy beige with pink sparkles) one night when we went out to dinner. I applied it on my lids and buffed out the edges to feather out the glitter, then swept MAC Soft brown into the crease, and got some good compliments (one of them was even from a makeup artist, *blushes*).
And layering the Dazzleshadows on top of a Fluidline like Blacktrack is pretty fun, too. shadows applied on top of Blacktrack appear richer and deeper, and they take on a metallic finish. some of the shadows will end up looking completely different than they do in the pan, which I think is also pretty rad. If you’re going for all-out drama, use Blacktrack.

2. reach for a flat, compact eye brush
A flat concealer brush works really well with these. Basically, you want to apply them using something flat and very stiff because it’ll make it simpler to place the shadows exactly where you want them.
You could use a finger…but I really do think it’s simpler to be accurate with these using a brush, and you can leave the brush dry, or wet it first with water or something like MAC Fix+ to intensify the shadows and make them shine even meer.

3. DOEN DIBLY-DALLEN
Ik heb ontdekt dat eenmaal de basis droogt, de schetshadows niet zo goed vasthouden aan mijn huid, dus werk zo snel, zodat je ze kunt krijgen om ze op dat natte oppervlak te krijgen.
Hier zijn 11 van de 12 Dazzleshadows van de Mac Le Disko-collectie ($ 21 per stuk) verwachten een kleine beweging terwijl je gaat over je bedrijf die deze draagt omdat ze de hele dag door op mijn deksels schuiven en shimmy zijn. Ik weet helemaal niet zeker, maar ik heb het gevoel dat het doelgericht is, omdat het tot hen leidt om een soort grungy glamour uit te zien.
Natuurlijk, afhankelijk van hoe gepolijst je van je oogmake-up, zou dit een make-of-break-ding kunnen zijn. Ik heb toevallig grungy-glamour, rommelige make-up graaf, dus ik denk dat het cool is.
De Dazzleshadows zijn nu (zogenaamd) die nu beschikbaar zijn, MAC-locaties en online, maar misschien wil je je bellen voordat je naar je favoriete Mac-winkel of teller trekt als je in hen geïnteresseerd bent omdat ze nog niet beschikbaar waren op de Mac Teller Ik heb afgelopen zaterdag gecontroleerd (de Nordie’s in Corte Madera, Californië).

Maak vervolgens eenmaal bevestigd een datum met je favoriete make-up-enabler om ze persoonlijk te zien, want dat is de enige manier om te rollen, onderduid. Daarna kunnen jullie twee friet krijgen, praten over katten en make-up, en hebben een impromptu-dansfeest … misschien in de privacy van uw auto.
