Please let me know your suggestions for making a 15 shadow palette. I am looking for a good range and cross section of all colors so need recommendations for blues, greens, pinks, browns, neutrals and must haves, etc.

Let me know what colors you would pick if you only had one palette and nothing else.

For reference I am a NC40. Thanks and I look forward to your input!

Depends on what you typically like to wear, more color or more neutral. A great idea to start with is some basic neutrals -

1. Brule (neutral highlight no shimmer)
2. Naked Lunch (same as above, shimmery)
3. Saddle or Soft Brown (defenition of crease, blending color)
4. Handwritten ( further darken crease )
5. Carbon (everyone needs a matte black shadow)

More range of color -

6. Club (just gorgeous)
7. Print (smokey eye)
8. Plumage (deep blue no shimmer, deepen blues and greens)
9. Shimmermoss or Steamy (great with plumage, g.gold, purples)
10. Sumptuous Olive (pair with print and club... yum)
11. Gorgeous Gold (beautiful as a quick wash over the eye)
12. Sketch (darken purple and pink eyes, use as liner)
13. Cranberry (great with ex. pink and sketch)
14. Humid (S. olive, plumage, g. gold... great green)
15. Expensive Pink (wash, g.gold/ sketch/cranberry with a little carbon to darken it... lovely)

Thanks, my skin tone is NC40 and I was looking for a good range of all colors plus I'm new at all this so all these suggestions are great! Some of the colors I know the others I will have to go to the store and check them out. Thanks again!

No problem, I have learned so much from all the wonderful people here on Specktra by just reading these different threads on the WOC forum.
