[h=2]Hello everybody![/h] [h=2]I want to put my 1st mac quad together. I searched for swatches and just ordered those colours I do like the most. These are:[/h] [h=2]brule, grain, era, malt, cork, wedge.[/h] [h=2]Is there anything missing. Which of these colours do suit together and do I propably miss one or is it necessary to exchange one for another one? Would 4 of these are a good choice for my 1st quad? Which ones should I choose?[/h] I'm completely new into e/s and only used painterly, but recently I`ve got very interested into creating a "real" emu, so I would appreciate any recs.

I think malt, era or grain on the lid and brule as highlight are very flattering and look nice on me, but is wedge really dark enough for a very natural crease or do I really need sth. else? I don't like cork very much, I just listed it ;( would it just be dark enough for the outer v? I have already spent a lot of money, I would be happy if I could make it work to darken some areas.

Is there a webside where I can see some quads or sth. like "must have colours" for nude/neutral quads? How can I be sure that the colours do really suit together and belong to the same colour family? My next MAC store is so very far away, so I have to rely on the www, lol. Thanks a lot for your help, dear specktra ladies.

I'm NW 20, in summer NW 25. I would appreciate if the ordered colours would work together and I don't have to order sth. else, perhaps only a darker e/s.
