I’m using Saddle as well as Wedge on my lids as well as in the crease, Brun as well as Mulch in the outer corners, Ricepaper to highlight the inner corners as well as my brows, as well as Feline Kohl on my water lines.

There are so many matte dark browns out there, as well as you might utilize any type of number of them in this way, however Saddle truly is something special. You’ll be blown away by exactly how simple it is to blend, since you understand exactly how difficult mattes usually are to feather out, right? Saddle blends quickly into other matte shadows, which is my hallmark for “what makes a excellent matte shadow,” as well as it’s likewise super simple to blend into other finishes, too, like satins, frosts as well as sheens.

It’s one of my tried-and-true MAC must-have traditional colors, as well as it delivers across the board — color, performance, all-day wear time, as well as it’s a great value $$$ since of its versatility.

I like utilizing it with the MAC old-school neutrals, as well as one of my preferred looks is with Wedge in the crease, Saddle up in there to deepen it, as well as then Mulch on the lid, Brun in the outer corner, as well as a highlight of Brule or Ricepaper.

Another look I like is with Soft brown in the crease as well as Sable on the lid. then I add Costa Riche on the water as well as lash lines (or sometimes I’ll go with a traditional black kohl like MAC Feline or Smolder on my water line).

Basically, if your skin tone is NC42 or NW40, or thereabouts in that general vicinity, Saddle is a amazing all-purpose crease color.
