Theres so much discussion about LE eyeshadow that we don't have or cant get hold of- but what about the wonderful and brilliant ones we do have but don't appreciate as much? What are do you think of as the most underated MAC eyeshadows?
For me its:
Gladabout
Texture
What are your hidden treasures seldom highlighted here?
You are sooooo right about TEXTURE......beautiful color!! I love it!!
This may sound really weird for me to say, but i love paradisco. I admit, i hated it before, but once i got around to using it more, it became easier to use and beautiful
Blackberry. I wouldn't have picked this one out myself as it looks so dull in the pan but an s/a tried it on me and...wow! Gorgeous on brown eyes and works for night and day, I wear this one every day now
definetly trax and idol eyes. people seem to dislike them, but they have always worked really well for me!
I, too, love "Idol Eyes." I know that quite a few consider it "too frosty," but I think it's beautiful, and the color really plays up my green eyes.
"Satin Taupe" is an absolute staple of mine. I've heard complaints that it's "too dark" or "makes me look bruised," but I use a good brush and a nice neutral highlight(Bobbi Brown's "Bone Shimmer") and it turns out great.
I agree with Jest!! I use it all the time as a highlighter, it's such a beautiful shade and goes on soo nice and smooth. The texture is incredible and the colour payoff is quite strong even though it's such a soft peach/pink/beige shade.
I also would add Woodwinked, and Carbon (because it's a staple).

Another vote for Jest! I use it nearly everyday (see the Pictureless FOTD's section) as a wash and on inner corner with darker shades. I just fell in love with it the first time I saw it at a MAC corner, but it's true that few people talk about it or use it... it's one of my fav and I practically can't live without it now! And I nearly finish it so it's about time to make a MAC expedition
Patina and ricepaper! I know it's a bit harder to find, but i absolutely LOVE peridot. So many people seemed to pass over it saying it was just aquadisiac. I reach for it all the time and I've hardly touched aquadisiac..
