  thank you so much Parita 🙂 Using black as a base does really help in making the colors pop! The Faces on is really good, you could get a double of that. 217 is good for application as well as blending. Would also suggest one smudging brush. You can check out my post on eye makeup brushes –

    Thanks for the quick reply Ankita! yup I was planning to get one more from faces..also a request to you..when you find some time can you pls swatch all the MAC eyeshadows you have in one post or any other good loose eye shadows you have? I am planning to splurge a bit in coming few months on good decent eyeshadows and looking for colors purple/blue/tealgreen/gold etc very similar to ones you use in your tutorials 🙂 Thank you!
