I love having goldmine on the inner half of the lid with any other shimmering colour on the outside/other half of the lid. Then I like gorgeous gold on top then shroom as a highlighter

I did one my husband really liked, today:

Phloof over the entire lid, up to the brow.
B-Rich on the inner half, blended towards the outer edge.
Humid on the outer v and up the crease, just past the brow ridge. Blended well, fading into the Phloof! on the brow, and the B-Rich on the lid.
Lined with Blackberry + mixing medium, in a very slight cat eye (just flared a bit on the top outer lid.)

-Ricepaper to highlight, Steamy inner lid, Club in the crease, with the usual Carbon at the corner to smoke it up.
These I love:
-Phloof to highlight, Beautiful Iris on the lid, and Plumage in the crease, and Prussian eyeliner to contour the whole eye.
- Nylon to highlight, and in the inner corners, Samoa Silk on the lid, and Jewel Blue in the crease, lined with Smolder.
- Beautiful Iris on the lid, with Club in the crease (can you tell I love Club?) and Shroom to highlight. This one is really nice because the greenish/blue of Club contrasts gorgeously agaisnt the purple.
-Gorgeous Gold to highlight and on the inner lid, Plum Dressing in the crease, and Sumptuous Olive to line the lower eyelid.
-Deep Truth allover (except the crease), and Stars and Rockets in the crease, slowly fading into Phloof, used as a highlighter.

The FOTD section has some great color combinations as well, if you're looking for funky ways to pair your eyeshadows!

Satin Taupe is my fave MAC e/s. I pair it with Shale and Star Violet the most.
