One of my best facial features happens to be my eyes. On some days they look very green and on other days…they will look more blue. On top of that, I was blessed with pretty almond shaped eyes which goes nicely with my face shape.
To enhance my eyes I look for specific types of eye shadows that will bring out the color of my eyes and make them more intense. I have quite the collection of colors but often find that I learn towards greens, purples and pinks. I do like the neutral tones for daytime use too.
Recently I was introduced to those love eye color palettes from Mary Kay. Each palette contains 5 eye shadows that work perfectly with one another. They totally take the guess work out of it by giving you a lid color, highlighter, contour colors, etc. all in one little palette.
My daughter and I were super excited when 2 palettes showed up for review and had a great time playing with them. We got the Emerald Noir and the Sapphire Noir palettes which are perfect for our skin tone, hair & eye color. Very versatile colors for sure!
What is really cool is that one palette can take you from daytime into nighttime. You can go light with the application for during the day and then really layer on those colors for a night out on the town or for a special party that you are attending.
We decided to wear our new eye shadows for her wedding last month. I am sporting the colors from the Sapphire Noir palette and Jenelle is sporting the colors from the Emerald Noir palette. We think we look awesome!
The Sapphire Noir palette has 4 beautiful shimmer shades: Sapphire Blue, Steel Gray, Metallic Blue and an Icy Shimmering Pink (my description of the color shades). There is a medium matte gray for contouring.
The Emerald Noir palette has 4 beautiful shimmer shades: Copper, Emerald, Teal and a Chocolate Shimmer. There is a taupe/apricot color that is more matte than shimmer in my opinion.
* Description of shades/colors are my own words & not official Mary Kay. I like to describe the shades giving my own descriptive colors.
One of the things we really like about the Mary Kay eye color palettes is that once you apply them…they last for a very long time with no touch-ups. I put mine on around 9am for the wedding and didn’t take it off until midnight that night. I didn’t do any touch-ups all day long! Wow, that is impressive!

Beautiful sets of colors. I love when the eyes are played up. So many looks you can do. The sapphire set would be good for my blue eyes, and I love the neutrals like the copper and chocolate in the other set.
Although I have not tried the Mary Kay eye shadows you both look very pretty in the photo and I am impressed that you didn’t need to touch up your eye shadow for the entire day.
Very nice! I love Mary K and I do use some of their eyeshadows, it’s unbelievable how they enhance the look for eyes.
You do have pretty eyes, and so does your daughter. You both did a great job with your make-up for the big day. Nice that you were able to use the Mary Kay review products and that they were so perfect for you!
I have never tried Mary Kay eye shadows but these look awesome on you guys and I love that you do not have to do any touch ups during the day. I will have to check them out thanks for sharing and have a great rest of the weekend.
