I have oily eyelids and use them both. But i always use UPPP first no matter what. I tend to reach for paint pots first but its mainly b-cuz I'm lazy and hate to wait for shadesticks to warm up.

i have a ton of both paint pots and shadesticks and they both work for me.

Anyone have a list of all the Shadesticks that have been made? I'm just curious to see if I'm missing any.

Also, Bell-Bottom Blue is gorgeous over Royal Hue SS

One of my first MAC eyeshadows would be the shadestick in penny. I have a darker skin complexion and I want to go for a natural look I can wear to school. Should I only purchase the shadestick in penny or are there other colors that would work with it, and looks more natural. I was thinking shimmersand, but that looks a little pinky. Is it really pink? And gentle lentil looks like a good crease color, but I was worrying if shadesticks work well in the crease?

Beige-in, bare study, sharskin. I also have blue/grey eyes and these are def. musthaves!

It depends on the look you want to get. If you want something more dramatic, you want to go with "sharkskin" as this shade posssesses a darker gray quality with a hint of reflects and looks with any shade. It also has an aura that brings out a great quality in all eye colors, especially those on a lighter wavelength.

If you are looking for something vibrant, but less dramatic, I would definitely recommend "shimmermint" or "silverbleu" as these two shades collaborate well with others making them visible, but also not as dramatic as the sharkskin shade.

If you are looking for natural, definitely go with the "beige-ing" or "taupographic" as these two shades work as a base and are brilliant if you are looking for a natural look.

I am nc15 and my favorite so far is Fresh Cement, even ordered two of them, the shade is really nice, neither nude nor dramatic and it's definitely more visible than beige-ing.. recommended to fair-skinned girls for the daytime, doubt it would be a very bad choice for non-weekend nights either

I would get MAC sharkskin, beige-ing, and lucky jade. I love the lucky jade, it makes a subtle pop of the eyes.

Hiya,

Beige-ing is great, although tough for a liner. I have found these can crease throughout the day, so use a primer. If you want a longer lasting look, try the paints, the are fabulus and you get a better color payoff. I have Blu eyes and Bare Canvas is perfect as a neutral color, try it, you will love it!!!

The same pretty much goes with the pink coture.

Yeah, I feel kind of the same way about my Shimmersand! I use it because it matches my skin tone fairly well and I'm afraid to go too bold with the colors for everyday use. You almost can't see it when I apply it, just the shimmer, and then I can put a liner on top. It's lasted me a really long time, too.

I have Beige-ing and I absolutely love it. I warm it up by rubbing it in a little circle on the back of my hand and then apply it to my lids. I also use UDPP under it so it wont crease. My next shadestick purchase will be Sharkskin.

 

[Aimishu]

i have sharkskin and i bought like 3 of them coz someone mentioned that they are taking it out of the line (why mac why?!) and i must say it's a standard base on base for when i want to do a dark smokey look!
I also have petty and corn. Both loving it! I usually use corn with gold! very pertty!

If you could find it, Fresh Cement would be nice.
