My favorite MAC cool-toned liners are Stone, Chestnut, Soar, and Greige. I haven’t tried Whirl yet, but that’s next on my list. I also love Nightmoth, a bold dark purple that pairs perfectly with Succumb to Plum Lustreglass lipstick.

A stunning taupe nude that’s beautiful even on us cool-toned girls! It’s very wearable for everyday. Pair it with a cool toned brown liner to really make it pop! Although it may look peachy in the picture, trust me, it’s not.

I have teeny lashes. This mascara actually separates and lengthens and makes them visible!! A beautiful soft color. You won’t see burgundy in your lashes but they won’t be jet black. A delicate brush makes working with small lashes so easy!

A beautiful color corrector that works great for stubborn under eye circles. Also comes in a deeper apricot color. Wears beautifully under concealer. I let mine dry down before blending.
