The new MAC Face Palette in Smoky ($49.50 US/$59.50 CAD), one of two new Face Palettes in the MAC Keepsakes holiday collection, gives good smoke. Each of the palettes contains a mix of seven eye, face and lip products for a different themed look.
Rrraow! Some good-looking colors and finishes here, and I love that LE pearl packaging with the cameo design.
I see a lot of smokey (or smoky) eyes in my immediate future. 🙂
Both Smoky and Natural, the second Face Palette in the Keepsakes collection, will be available on the MAC website starting October 19, at North American MAC stores and counters October 23 through December 18, and at all international MAC locations some time this November.
The Smoky Face Palette includes…
- LUSTRE EYE SHADOW IN FILAMENT, a platinum silver
- FROST EYE SHADOW IN ARISTOCRATIC AURA, a dirty blue gray with silver pearl
- MATTE EYE SHADOW IN CARBON, an intense black
- IRIDESCENT PRESSED POWDER IN BORN TO DAZZLE, a white gold champagne with pearl
- CREAM COLOUR BASE IN PEARL, a pale gold with icy shimmer
- AMPLIFIED LIPSTICK IN PETULANCE, a mauvey mid-tone nude
- AMPLIFIED LIPSTICK IN EVENING POSH, a clean bright red
I love the cameo packaging, and I have a particular soft spot for all in one kits (you should see me in the Duty Free makeup area…), but I’m starting to wonder why Carbon seems to be in everything at the moment…when it uh… doesn’t seem to be MAC’s best?
Aristocratic Aura looks pretty though 🙂
I have a feeling that Aristocratic Aura is going to look great on you. Cameos aren’t my thing (they always sort of make me think “off with her head” for some reason), but it’s certainly pretty for gals who like them. 🙂
Already owning so many pallets, not sure if it’s too classic in colors. Sure is pretty packaging, love the cameo theme.
I love the cameo packaging, so pretty! Sadly, the shades aren’t doing anything for me..
The packaging is so pretty! I love the composition of the compact and it looks so chic. The shades look fairly basic though, I feel like I have most of those colours already.
Sad how I always have a strong desire to buy a product just for the packaging. I don’t need this palette, and Carbon makes me sad, but the packaging is so pretty. 🙂
I’ve read on other blogs that the packaging is plastic, cheap .. but it looks really pretty!! Guess it’s something to see in person 🙂

I really love the packaging on this collection! The cameo is just too cute and vintage! I wish the packaging alone could make me buy this though, I really am not a fan of Carbon’s formula and I wish they would have pushed the shades more. I do like that they provide a covering for the creams though, to keep the powders out!
Gorgeous, except for Carbon. Surely, MAC makes other dark color that perform better. Carbon seems like it’s in every single palette. Ugh.
The packaging is a little cheap-looking to me. I wish they’d put a bit more effort. The cameo motif could have been really classy looking. These just look a bit blah.
