[entyce08]

Reading all of the responses made me realize that I don't own nearly enough neutral eye shadows.

now i am an NC40-42, and i've got those indian dark circles, so my eye area is a bit darker than the rest of my face- i use nc35 concealer to correct. notwithstanding that, when i put woodwinked all over my lid, people tell me it looks as though i am perspiring shimmer. so, woodwinked looks like my lid color but shiny. i don't know if that helps you decide

Texture e/s for me!

i know its not mac but i'm an nc45-50 and i use urban decay in illegal. its the right shade and blends right in

Swiss Chocolate!

That's my HG for a quick single e/s color with some liner for a clean and fast look. It matches without washing me out. [I'm NW45]

I am NC 43/44 and I use bamboo eyeshadow

Totally agree with texture (at least on me), saddle, tete a tint (dark apricot matte look), and for most of my nude days I used to use vanilla pigment but i bought a full size NAKED pigment and its sooooo perfect and pretty. At least buy a sample I doubt you will regret it.

 

[ClaireAvril]

Saddle is pretty close to mine.

 

[MAChostage]

Soba can work well also.

 

[QTAllStarGurl]

Saddle!

 

[brownsuga lady]

Mine are: Brown Down, Tete a Tint, Bamboo

I really like soba, and bamboom eye paint is nice too.

 

[zerin]

Bamboo eyeshadow works great for me!

 

[cutiebe2]

saddle works really well for me (NW 45) my lids are kinda dark so it evens out the color to match the rest of my face

 

[statusmode]

I'm thinking cork e/s?

When I do a neutral eye I usually prep with UDPP and an orange creme blush by Iman to counteract the darkness. And then I use Saddle! <3. I'm an NW45.

Saddle works for me. It's about as close as I can get.
