Vibrant colours

I have brown eyes and I am chinese so medium tanned skin.
i find myself wearing the same colours all the time, even though I have a whole range of mac eye shadows.

My favourites are : Aquadisiac and Fresh Water (teal and blue) followed by Nylon as a highlight. Aquadisiac is a lustre and packs on amazingly. I am looking for an eyeshadow that is REALLY bright and adheres to the brush really easily. ( I brought a pink lustre but it's not so bright)

I have the following colours but not so overly satisfied:
beautiful iris (doesnt apply even after hundreds of application)
swish, rule (VG), bitter, steamy, swimming, fab and flashy, eye popping, star violet, pink venus, plum dressing. (and fushia and cornflower pigments)

im really looking for an eyeshadow in a different colour just like aquadisiac

thanks for the advice

I'm Taiwanese with Medium skin and brown eyes as well! I'll tell you what works for me.
I say go for some Urban Decay eyeshadows! The Deluxe Eyeshadows are pricey, but they're really vibrant and color payoff is fantastic.

Here's a link to the palette I have of theirs.

For other MAC colors, try these:
-Parrot from the Originals collection
-Teal pigment (it will work fantastic with your teal and other aqua shadows, and the color is beautiful and vibrant!)
-Violet pigment
-Waternymph eyeshadow (it was LE from the Lure collection, but it's easy to find on Ebay and not too expensive)
-Steel Blue (also from the Originals collection)

I say try out any pigment. All of the colors are vibrant. Those are the most vibrant in my opinion. In the range I guess of what you're talking about. =)
If you can get your hands on any pro pigments, even better! Just be careful about the safety and usage because some are not eye safe.

And I find that if you use shadesticks or paint pots, the color payoff will be even better and vibrant!
-Sea Me Shadestick
-Shimmersand Shadestick
-Beige-ing Shadestick
The first one is aqua/teal, but the other 2 are neutral and work really well to bring out color.
-Painterly Paint Pot
-Bare Study Paint Pot
I hear are good as well. I usually use shadesticks. And I also used UDPP. Fuchsia pigment works just great for me and I find it's really vibrant. So maybe look into a base if you haven't been using one? I'm pretty sure you have though, but maybe try different ones and see what works better for you to bring out color. Try swatching on a paint pot or shadestick and put an eyeshadow over it, and compare the vibrancy and color pay-off.

Aquadisiac is a lustre and its actually the only 'good' one as all other lustres are extremely messy, glittery and have very little color payoff! im assuming the pink lustre you got is Pink Venus (which i have and hate =/) sooo i recommend other formulas. I really like Cranberry, Coppering, Passionate, Waternymph (l/e but you could still find it, most gorgeous teal ever!), Amber Lights and Goldmine =)

/edit
see if you could find Firespot from the moonbathe collection.. waaay prettier and more vibrant than Fab & Flashy
