probably because it's very close in color to Coco pigment.

Outside of the MAC addict communities pigments aren't the be-all and end-all of MAC. Given a choice between loose colour dust and a pressed shadow, the average user will opt for a pressed item 99% of the time.

Satin Taupe is like Shroom - it's a go-to colour that gets used all the time but doesn't have the attention-getting properties of, say, Eectric Eel. I use up a Satin Taupe every nine months or so in my kit.

jewel blue is way under rated...it goes really well with juxt and swimming...

mulch. it's such a nice shade of brown...(n i'm not really a brown e/s person but yet i like this shade a lot)

Dazzlelight (yeah i know..this is a boring old colour..but the texture is good and i can use it with all kinds of colours)

 

[cloverette]

* sable (love this one!)
* satin taupe (love this one!)
* woodwinked
* knight divine

I love Idol Eyes. It works great as a highlight when I'm wearing a blue or green color on my lid. I'm sure I'll use it even more this winter.

I don't know if it is under rated or not, but I love All that glitters.

Have you tried Flirty Number, I like it even more than Shale! They are very close but I definitely notice a difference with Flirty Number.

my underrated faves have to be Cellopink Lipgelee, ive seen reviews on people hating it cos it has such a sheer colour but its fantastic and really makes my lips go pink.

Heck all lipgelees are underated, i love my Valentine's, Cellopink and Cool & Aloof
