Each set includes everything you need to create a complete eye or lip look. With five colour ways to choose from, you'll definitely find a look you love.

MAC BOX #1 - Hooked on Nude

The Hooked on Nude Look in a Box is all you need to create the perfect soft brown smokey eye. The two MAC eyeshadows No Pretense (Neutral Beige) and Hooked on Nude (Warm Caramel Brown) compliment eachother to add subtle depth and drama to the eye.

The kit also includes a chocolate brown Modern Twist Kajal Liner in Long Espresso and a Upward Lash Mascara - the secret to creating high-rise volume, length and curl.

1. Apply No Pretenense eyeshadow all over the lid with a fluffy brush.
2. Take Hold on Nude through your crease, gently blending upwards and outwards for a soft diffused look. To create a more intense look, pack Hold on Nude on to the outer corner of your eye for extra depth.
3. Take the Modern Twist Kajal Liner in Long Espresso along your upper lash line and diffuse out with a fluffy brush. Apply on your upper and lower waterlines to add a little extra drama.
4. Complete the look with the Upward Lash Mascara in Upward Black. Simply apply for natural lashes or build up the product in thin layers for a truly dramatic look.

MAC BOX #2 - Pet Pink

If you love a classic smoky eye, the cool-toned Pet Pink Look in a Box has everything you need to create this classic look. The eyeshadow duo is made up of two cool-toned shades, Pet Pink (Soft Matte Rose) and Cool Dive (Soft Charcoal) to create a deep, dramatic smoky eye.

The Look in a Box also contains a pitch-black Modern Twist Kajal Liner in Squid and an In Extreme Dimension Mascara. Together, these four products create a truly eye-catching, intense look.

1. Apply Pet Pink all over the lid with a fluffy eyeshadow brush.
2. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, pack Cool Dive along the lash line and onto your outer corner. Take your fluffy brush and blend the two shades together for a seamless look. Add more Cool Dive to the eye to add extreme drama and depth.
3. Take a mixture of Pet Pink and Cool Dive along your lower lash line, make sure not to take the colour too far down onto your undereye. Gently buff the colour to create a diffused, smoky look.
4. Apply the Modern Twist Kajal Liner to both your upper and lower water line. Line your upper lash line, staying as close to your lashes as possible to add further depth to your look.
