What I'd Genuinely Buy YOU at Sephora Right Now

The Makeup I'm Wearing ALL SPRING 😍🌸

"I'm telling you it is so good it's way better than the first palette. This is the Master Mattes The Neutrals palette from Makeup by Mario and I can't put it down. I think it's truly way better than the first one. This color is just slightly deeper than my natural skin tone so it's going to add like a really subtle shading around my eye and just kind of smooth out any pigmentation on the eyelid."

Easy Everyday Fall Makeup Tutorial 🍂

"This is one of my favorite palettes ever, especially for everyday. [...] I want to take something that's a little bit more cool tone. I'm going to layer that close to the lash line and [...] smoke it up a little bit. That way, it has a little bit more dimension than just a single shadow, but to me it's still not like over the top to where it can't be considered everyday."

What’s Worth It from the Sephora Sale + My Cart 👀

"One of my favorite palettes in general is from Makeup by Mario and it is the Master Mattes The Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette. This one is so beautiful and so versatile.

"I have so many that I love but I got to tell you this one really does something to me and I don't know how I ever lived without it. I love this palette.

He launched actually the first round which was the original Master Mattes, these are more warm, but because I am more neutral toned, this flatters me more and I just wear it more. So I love it."

"I didn't think that I would love this as much as I am.

"This is something that I feel like everyone would love. I personally love it. The first palette is great too if you like more warm tones where you feel like warm tones flatter you more but this palette is more neutral leaning cool which is what I feel like flatters me.

"I absolutely love this palette because it is so wearable. You can use this everyday. It's all neutrals. It's all matte shades. Any skin tone can use this. You can create so many eye looks with this, like smokey eye looks, just a little bit in the crease, whatever you want to do. You can use the darker shades as your liner if you really wanted to. It's just so universal and wearable and I feel like everybody should have a neutrals matte palette in their collection."

"This is honestly the only eyeshadow palette you would really ever need. It has all those neutral shades in here, they're all matte shades as well, and it doesn't matter what color your eyes are, anybody can use and wear these shades. You can create so many different smokey eye looks. A lot of the times I will use these darker shades for my liner and I will use them as that winged out look so that they look a little bit more softer."

"I'm going in with this Makeup by Mario palette, I believe this is the Neutrals Mattes palette with my tiny little rougher brush, which is so good for this, and just going over that eyeliner to make sure that it's set and a little bit softened. I don't want anything to look hard or harsh or just like too heavy, which is why I'm working with the browns right now."

"This is really like the best eyeshadow palette for people who go for a nice natural look because look at all those different shades of just natural muted skin tones that are going to look great on your eyes. And the nice part about it is that you know how I complain about the palettes that none has that perfect mid-tone matte? Well this has quite a few of them. It's perfect for making anything from a basic eye look all the way up to a really smoked out look."
