Hi...bit of a MAC virgin here!
By "palette" I mean any range of products/colours which would suit my complexion - primarily lipsticks and eyeshadow shades.
My first (and to date only) MAC purchase has been some Studio Fix Fluid in NC15 - I love it and it matches my skin perfectly, which was a bit of a miracle because I was really struggling to find foundation anywhere that was pale enough! So, with the exception of foundation:
Eyeshadows - I have black hair and dark brown eyes. I'd like some nice neutral shades for daywear (peach, beige, gold) - and some more dramatic ones for the evening (light browns, purples, greens). Purple is a great colour but one that I find really difficult to get right when it comes to shades - sometimes I pick too light and end up looking like a clown, and sometimes too dark which makes my eyes look small and isn't vibrant enough. I also find green almost impossible to get right.
Lipsticks - I'm a major lipstick fan. Think something akin to a much less attractive Dita Von Teese & you'll get a sense of my overall look, but I'm so overwhelmed by the choice on the MAC site I'm not sure what to go for. I think "Capricious" is closest to my natural lip colour - can you suggest anything more daring that won't look garish?
