Must-Have MAC Eyeshadows for me?

[dxgirly]

I'm looking to expand my MAC eyeshadow collection, but I'm a bit stumped as to where to start.

Here is my natural eye color. Try to ignore the shadows I have on. I could NOT find an up close pic of my bare eyes.

I have medium red hair and NW15 skin.

I'm open to all colors. I really love to wear colorful shadows.

I already own:
Of Summer
Satellite Dreams
Very Violet
Nocturnelle
Top Hat
Black Tied
Lucky Green
Lala
Pink Papillon
Smoke & Diamonds


I also own a lot of Urban Decay shadows, but I'm really looking to expand my MAC collection.

Any and all suggestions welcome!

I like bronze-y and orange tone shadows with blue eyes like yours. Try:

- Amber Lights
- Expensive Pink
- Bronze
- Espresso
- Woodwinked
- Coppering
- Mythology - this is a lustre but a good lustre

Purple/Pinks:
Stars N' Rockets
Sushi Flower
Girlie

Browns/taupes:
Cork
Satin Taupe
Soft Brown
Woodwinked

Greys/black:
Black Tied
Print

Blues/Teals
Plumage
Deep Truth
Electric Eel

For you I'd recommend expensive pink, soft brown, bronze, espresso, woodwinked, trax, and gleam.

I'm enjoying Paradisco, a bright peachy-pink/coral color. If done lightly, it looks quite natural. I feel confident it can be quite bright if applied heavily, though.

All That Glitters, Woodwinked, Coppering, Amber Lights, Cranberry, Sweet Lust

I agree that neutrals look great with your eye color and everyone has mentioned great shadows for you to check out but I must add: Sketch!
Also, if you love colorful shadows and you're feeling bold, try Chrome Yellow, Orange, Bitter and Electric Eel. All very bright shadows!

Ohhh you'll love All That Glitters, Coppering, Amber Lights and Stars N' Rockets! I just used All That Glitters, Amber Lights and Coppering on my friend with blue eyes - she loved it!

I have similar coloured eyes and am NW15 too. I have Amber Lights and Coppering and they really bring my eyes out.

I would really recommend Woodwinked - it's a gorgeous colour and I wear it everyday with Shroom.

I just got Gorgeous Gold, and it looks awesome with Swimming, Humid and Lucky Green!

All That Glitters, Carbon, Satin Taupe, and Sketch are must have eyeshadows. I love using Satin Taupe e/s as a lid and crease color and I use it everyday.

Satin Taupe is incredible!! Get it for sure!!

 

[dxgirly]

Thanks girls. Like everyone here says good things about Satin Taupe, so I think it's an essential that I'm definitely going to have to add to my cart next time!

make sure you try the colors out before and you really like them. i have bought a couple of eyeshadows because they were so popular and 'must buys' and i have never worn them because they look horrible on me. go to your nearest mac counter and play around a little bit, it's so much fun

 

[dxgirly]

I'll have to go in and looks at some of the recommendations. I usually do most of my shopping online because the closest MAC counter is 45 minutes away, but I might be going in store for Too Fabulous tomorrow, so if I do I'll take a peek.
