Firs e/s palette. Shade recs for c3?

[starbgirl]

Putting together my first e/s palette maybe two even though I've been using mac for a while. I'm a C3 (warm)in mac sf powder, dark brown hair, hazel eyes.

I already have shale, nocturnelle, s. taupe, sable, knight divine, blacktied, club, vex, s. olive, retrospeck and nylon & jest which I love for highlighting colors. I have already tried naked lunch and shroom and don't care for them.

I am thinking about: greensmoke, humid, electra, patina, gorgeous gold, woodwinked, and ricepaper...any other thoughts?? I like some color but usually keep it fairly basic and love smokey eyes as well.

Hello fellow C3! You have an AWESOME opportunity to get some kick ass colors from upcoming collections like Fafi and Heatherette. Definitely check out the N collection, if you haven't already for more neutrals. I usually just stick to LE shadows, BUT I find cranberry to be a nice shade that can be worn during the day and you can pile on more for a night look. Steamy is a great frost green, which is versatile like cranberry as well. Stars n Rockets is a great spring pinky/purple color and ochre style is a nice brown. They are all frosts, I think, but they are versatile colors that can be mixed for awesome looks.

I'm also a C3...

Definitely get Humid. Its my favorite shadow ever

I would also recommend Woodwinked, Mulch or Bronze from that color family.

I like Goldmine over Gorgeous Gold, personally.

You definitely need Carbon - which you can use for a smokey eye, as a liner or to give depth to the crease.

Star Violet, All That Glitters and Steamy are great shades I find myself using a lot as well.

And I would definitely recommend checking out the matte2 shadows because they are a DREAM to work with.

HTH!

Thanks for the recs! I'm thinking I'll go w/ bronze definitely and try goldmine over gorg gold. All that glitters is a def now and thx for reminding me of star violet as i forgot about this one! I had steamy but gave it to a friend, I couldn't make it work right for me for some reason.
