Sharkskin - What pigments and e/s really POP!?

Hiya,

I'm new here. I've been buying MAC here and there for about 4/5 years now. My collection is small but I adore all the e/s and pigments I've tried so far.

This week coming I'm heading into London (UK) from where I live and will be visiting MAC as a treat for my birthday. One thing in particular I really want to get is the Sharkskin shadestick as everybody I've spoken to has raved about this. I really love the whole dark, dramatic eye look.

I was just wondering what are your personal recommendations to go with this. I've seen some amazing colour combinations so far but I need to make a bit of a shopping list. What have you found is extremely striking? Anything that is really dramatic? Any techniques and colour combinations that you think might be overlooked?

In particular I love greens, purples, teals. I'd love to try something with maybe a red etc? I've going to a big free party at the weekend and need something showstopping!

stars n rockets e/s, gorgeous gold e/s, motif e/s, club e/s... pretty much any eyeshadow with a duochrome will look amazing

Oooh I'll have to check these out. I have Tilt which I love love love. How can I find out which are duochromes and which aren't?

Waiting to hear the answer on this. I've heard about duochrome, but not savy enough to know what exactly it is.

My favorite colors to use with Sharkskin are blues and teals

In particular, I love to use Too Faced's "Skinny Dip" (a gorgeous midnight blue with some metallic sheen to it) over Sharkskin...Totally makes it pop!

Lucky Charm by Too Faced (a deep, dark emerald green) is also gorgeous over Sharkskin!
