Review: M.A.C. Arena Eyeshadow

Oh hey guys! Long time no talk. A weekend and a day in the blogging world is like years! I've been in a blogging funk and playing Sims 3 for days and days. I haven't abandoned this baby! I have been given opportunities to have a life and so I took them. Doesn't it just suck when life gets in the way? Haha! So I'm here, in my college library, sick and early for my classes, watching YouTube videos and thought "Jess, you have the time, REVIEW YOUR MOST FAVORITE-EST SHADOW" So that is what I shall be doing following this line jump.

Okay, so you've probably visited your M.A.C. counter and swatched every shadow about a couple of dozens a time, each. You've probably swatched Arena as well but were to un-impressed with the swatch on your hand to think much about it. Boy, are you missing out! (Why do I always seem to sound like an info-mercial?!) My blue eyed/green eyed lovelies out there, you will love this! It's a really neutral orange-y beige shadow. It's subtle and perfect for an everyday look, a natural look, a highlight, and a quick make up look! I like to wear this by itself all over my lid and then up into the crease a tad (hooded lids, boo!) It does a brilliant job of making my blue eyes pop just a little more! It's orange enough to make the blue pop and beige enough to make it look natural. Paired with a brown liner and it's astounding how blue my eyes look! 

It takes a bit of getting used to with this color because it does apply ever so sheerly. You'll need to use a brush that really picks up color. My preferred method is a large shader brush! A finger to hand swatch does this shadow no justice. I'll see if I can get a FOTD up using this shadow soon so you guys can get a better look! But I definetly reccomend that blue eyed beauties take a closer look at this shadow, you won't regret it! :)
