It really wasn’t all that long ago that I longed for a collection of purely matt eyeshadows, and that any sign of shimmer had me running a mile, but things have changed (even though I’m not sure what those things are) and I’ve been embracing a subtle bit of shimmer during the day lately.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m never going near a full on glitter pigment or cheap and chalky shimmer from Superdrug, but a finely milled MAC eyeshadow will fit the bill just fine, and for day to day wears, that’s where All That Glitters comes in. A beautiful natural pink shadow with the finest gold-ish shimmer running through. It catches the light beautifully and is perfect if you want to go light on the eye makeup without looking too natural. Photographing this one was tricky business as it’s difficult to capture how beautiful it looks on camera – especially the beautiful sheen it brings to the eye lid – but my iPhone camera came to the rescue and did the best out of the three cameras trailed.
If I’m whole heartedly refusing to make an effort when applying this, I use my finger and blend lightly, patting a little extra over the center of the lid once i’m done. But if I’m really feeling it, I go heavier (pictured above) and blend the edges out with a 217 and a swirl of MACs charcoal brown on the crease. Perfecto.
I’m currently still on the hunt for more shades to add to the MAC shadow stash i’m currently hiding away (more on that next week), so if you have any recommendations of shades that are an absolute must then leave them below!
Ooh I've just ordered this today and your pictures have made me beyond excited for it to arrive! Looks so beautiful on you.

I love this shade, it's probably my most used shadow, I've hit pan though so it's being rationed until I can buy another. Patina and amber lights are lovely shades too and like this one they haven't got too much glitter just a really nice shimmer.

Love the shade! I don't have any MAC shadow recommendations off the top of my head, but if you're braving a little more glitter, Stila's shade kitten is so so stunning! It looks really shimmery and sparkly but is definitely more subtle when applied, I love it!

This is such a beautiful shade and it's on my wishlist.
I don't know which MAC eyeshadow to get next because I have so many that I want!
My current favourite is Patina and I love it for everyday wear.

It's such a gorgeous color! It looks so beautiful, I just wish there was a MAC store here. :)x
This has been one of my favourites for YEARS! So beautiful, try it with a little bit of Satin Taupe or Sable blended into the crease. Too good.

I love this colour, I purchased this recently and I just can't get enough of it. Another shimmery favorite of mine is Antiqued, it's a beautiful colour for a bronzed smoky eye. Katie xx

All That Glitters was my first MAC eyeshadow and still to this day one of my favorites. So easy to work with. Mulch and Sable are two other great colors for brown eyes.

all that glitters is the most perfect shade, if you want one similar in finish i'd recommend ricepaper which is like the yellowy gold version! 🙂 x
