It also intensifies whatever I layer on top. Soft Ochre acts kind of like a buffer between my skin color and the shadows, and makes the shadows more closely resemble the way they look in their pans. Like, if I have a palette with shades that are slightly lighter than my skin tone - like pale taupes, tans or beiges, which wouldn’t normally show up well on my NC42 skin - I’ll start by buffing a thin layer of Soft Ochre on my lids with a MAC 217, then apply the shadows on top. I use it sometimes to sort of blank out the natural color of my lids (similar to how you might use concealer on your lips to blank them out). I think matte warm beige Soft Ochre looks really pretty under warm neutrals like Soft Brown, Saddle, Ricepaper and Swiss Chocolate. ![]() ![]() ![]() Clockwise from the lower left, that’s MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Soft Ochre, Select Color-Up in NC42 and Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Groundwork MAC Soft Ochre Paint Pot ($21)
