Padma Lakshmi, an American author, actor, model, producer, chef, and host of 'Top Chef,' recently joined forces with makeup giant MAC to create a total of 17 products that are named after her.
Included in the collection are a number of eyeshadow palettes, blush compacts, highlighters, and brushes, which are perfect for applying the versatile shades on the user's face and eyes. The two eyeshadow palettes that are offered each have four different shades, allowing it to combine vibrant ones that add a pop of color to the lids, with more subtle neutrals that help to subdue and blend out the others. For example, '70's Sunset' features a light hue of denim, peach, brown, and beige, whereas 'Desert Dusk' includes varying hues of purple and green.
