E/s suggestions & colour combo recs.

[PomPoko]

I'm going to the freestanding mac store by me sometime soon, and I want to buy some new eyeshadows. Because I'm soooo indecisive I need help choosing, so thats where you guys come in!

I'm NC15-20 and I like everything (which is where my problem lies) I mostly wear purples or greens. I'm terrible for that! SoOoO I'd perhaps like to buy some new colours, like silver, blue or perhaps some pinks since I don't have many *actual* pink shadows (do you see what I mean about everything?) I'll put in what I've got though, so if anyone can suggest some colour combinations I'll be tres thankful

I have:
Expensive Pink
Paradisco
Firespot
Cranberry
Cosmic
Playful
Springtime Skipper
Vex
Mothbrown
Parfait Amour
Satellite dreams
Gorgeous Gold
Shimmer Moss
Velvet Moss
Aquadisiac
Electric Eel
Star Violet
Bitter
Tempting
Da Bling
Swish
Beauty Marked
Stars n Rockets
Crystal
Sumptuous Olive

The Holiday 2006 eyes collection (think its cool eyes? the one with nocturnelle and formal black)

erm, and thats it...so if you have suggestions for interesting combinations and new shadows to buy (pref that go well with some I've already got...or like three or four new shadows that go well together that I can get!

TIA lovelies

i don't have any idea what's in that Cool Eyes palette you've got off the top of my head, so...forgive me if i mention something that's in there

Woodwinked goes well with a lot of that stuff on your list, as would some kind of standard highlight color like Dazzlelight, Vanilla, Phloof or Shroom.

definitely Electra if you're looking for a silver...i love Electra. and i'd look into pink pigments instead of shadows, as you're already got the only two pink shadows i really like

maybe Revved Up, which just came out with Rushmetal, or Shimmertime/Deckchair/Goldenaire/Apricot Pink which were all LE..it's easy to come by samples on here or LJ tho.

I also have the paradisco e/s which I used for the eyelid and I also used:

e/s mercurial for crease up to browbone
e/s crystal for highlighting the browbone

hope this helped a little bit.....

Hey btw, any suggestions on my eyebrows? they need a makeover bad!!

You NEED Humid e/s

Its the best green ever. Its a dark forest green with excellent color payoff.

A great basic blue is Tilt. I use it with Electric Eel & Deep Truth.

As for combos w/ colors you are already have... I use Firespot, Cosmic, Cranberry w/ Nylon as a highlight (Gorgeous Gold would work as a highlight too).

Thanks for the suggestions lovlies

I was gonna get mercurial but they'd run out

I ended up getting Moons Reflection (I'd been torn between that and tilt hehe) and Deep truth, the MA pretty much ordered me to get Humid so clearly you're not the only mad Humid fan, leathaldesign

and I bought passionate as well, as I've wanted it for a while but never got round to getting it, and I remembered today ^_^ woot!

I've been growing my eyebrows out for a while now (like three months or so) and I just got them threaded yesterday, and I'm v pleased with them, they're still quite full (as before I'd gone a bit pluck crazy and messed up my natural shape) but they look sooooo much neater now! It does hurt quite a bit tho, as the hairs are pulled out in rows rather than one at a time!
