Do you really need a 15 pan of highlights? I would just get a variety of browns, nudes and highlights for the first 15 pan palette. When you get a second pan, then transfer the highlights to the second palette. This way your first palette is more versatile.

I don't know how much help I would be picking colors because I tend to go for the limited edition shades first. Plus, I love shimmer shades so I mostly have those. I'm trying to push myself to buy more basics and crease shades. That being said, I have recently added Patina and All that Glitters to a 4 pan and like those. I also like Soft Brown for blending crease colors.

Of the shades on your list, I also have:

  • Satin Taupe
  • Tempting
  • Retrospeck

When I first started buying Mac ('90s) I bought Swiss Chocolate and never used it. So I would check that one out in person.

edit - forgot what I said about Arena. I think I was thinking of a different shade.

I'm NC50, so I couldn't really tell you which shades would look best with your skin tone, but while I have most of these shadows, I've bolded my absolute favorites.

thank you, i agree i may not need a 15 pan palette of highlights but its not only going to be highlights its going to be nudes and neutrals also but i did pick up some browns and nudes. i didnt just fill one paletter i picked 2 up and add 6 to each

browns are cork, amber lights , embark , texture ,,,,soft brown and woodwinked.

neutrals/hightlights/nudes are ricepaper , arena ,naked lunch, bamboo, malt, and vanilla

IMO...Saddle e/s is an absolute must-have. It is my go to crease color and I use it in just about every look. You have Haux under browns, but it tends to pull more toward plum...it's not a true brown. Great shade none the less. Quarry has similar properties...I would swatch the two to compare...you probably don't need both.
