Gel Liners that can be doubled up as a kajal. But if I had to choose between the two then Kajal :)

REVIEW & LOTD: MAC Eye Shadow in Humid

MAC cosmetics does seem to have very interesting names for its eye shadows and lipsticks. Those who are working in the "nomenclature" department of MAC, I bow to thee. Such interesting and innovative names do deserve a round of applause. And one of them is MAC Humid. Would you seriously name an eye shadow Humid? I mean don't we relate humidity with a negative sense of the climate? Don't we say "Aggghhrrrrr I totally abhor the humidity in Mumbai" or "My hair gets soo frizzy in Kolkata's humidity" and yet they name their classic green shadow as "Humid" and well no one is complaining! :) Why? Cause with humidity I somehow relate plants and greenery. And so it seems very natural to me that a mossy green shadow be name d as Humid. Doesn't it make sense to you too? :P

MAC Humid is by far the BEST GREEN EYE SHADOW I have ever used. It is a flattering warm, olivey-mossy green that looks gorgeous on our type of skintones. I have had a tough time looking for a flattering green for my undertone and well MAC Humid seems to be the best bet :) It has this hint of a golden shimmer in it but it is very subtle and just results in a velvety golden sheen over the green shade :)
