depends what you like. some are harder to work with than others so checking them out in person first if you can might be a good option.
Some universally great colours are melon and golden olive, these two are gorgeous and a definite must have in a kit, easy to work with too. Vanilla is beautiful, so is Pink Opal, and Coco if you can get it. Chocolate Brown is really nice too, so is Subtle and some of the newer LEs are also really nice like Gold Mode and Mauvement.

If you can get them in samples and like bright colours:
- True Chartreuse (can be sheered to a primary yellow colour and looks like Bitter e/s or true to jar colour depending on application)
- Primary Yellow
- Clear Sky Blue
- Marine Ultra (The perfect bright royal blue that weirdly goes on darker the less you use)
- Electric Coral (must have if you have blue eyes and/or pale skin)
- Rose (soo pretty! Applies paler than it looks in the jar unless you put too much on. Can be sheered down further to bring out the gold shimmer more - therefore this pigment has a lot of 'looks' it can do. One of my favourite colours from MAC).
Basics:
- Black Black (i find it easy to work with especially with mixing medium or Smashbox Offset , Black Black in very small quantities makes the best eyeliner for me - lasts through showers and sleep).
- White Gold (though i wouldnt call this a 'basic' colour - it shines gold or pale green depending on the light. All eye looks take on a mermaid/ethereal look with this as a highlight/wash).
- Crease colours such as Deep Brown (matt Pro), or Chocolate Brown (shimmery reg?).
Theres a great (and authentic!) MAC sample seller on Ebay that i highly recommend if you cant get what you are looking for:
username: nownowbenice
Shes just put her prices up to 8 pounds (including p&p) for 5 samples (LE, discontinued, Pro, Glitters, Water Medium - happy to answer questions regards availablity) and all the other Mixing Mediums as 5g samples for 3 pounds. She may drop the prices again on some auctions - they tend to be a bit inconsistant (i always go for the cheapest!).
