I love Knight Divine but for some reason the texture is so much "creamier" than my other VPs that sometimes instead of blending it just spreads all over the place making me look like I've crawled in mud.

I have a "love and fear" relationship with Amber Lights, sometimes it's gorgeous, sometimes it's bright ass orange, I wish it was a little less bright/glittery.

I wish I could get the prettiness in my Amber Lights to come out on my lids. The one time I worn it out in public on of my friends said it looked like I had painted my eyelids with orange sherbert.

Ive found that I can make anything look good with the right combinations. But I guess I do avoid browns like the plague. The one colour im convinced I can't make look good on me >.>

LOL! I am the same way, I only use dark es as liners but love the dark lipsticks.
I also have no idea how to use bright yellows as well ...

well, despite all the raves of club.....i HATE club e/s. it makes me look bruised. I won't ever purchase this again.

Otherwise, i'm open to all other MAC shadows. I wished i could get chrome yellow...but there's no PRO store in my country

Any yellows, oranges or corals - the only one I own is In Living Pink and I am terrified of it because warmer colors look awful on me

Beauty Marked cause it looks beautiful in the pot but when I go to swatch it, it comes out black with chunks of red glitter and seems hard to blend. Thought it would be of a more maroon color. I guess blending it on top of others would make it look more maroonish. :shrug: Black Tied and Carbon have always done the job as far as smokeyness. Lately though, I've seen some FOTD's with Beauty Marked so now I'm reconsidering lol.

I think MAC shadows are so great there isn't any color that anyone couldn't pull off right just playing,mixing and matching,and generally having fun.MAC shadows are high quality and Plush in pigmentation.Ofcourse all of us who are into a MAC fixation right now know that.If your afraid of it.I say try it :p.My next shadow purchase is actually gonna be MAC's Orange.I'm gonna go for it.

It's funny cos nearly all the "most feared" eyeshadows here (Freshwater, Carbon, Orange, Electric Eel, Beauty Marked, Bitter) are among my absolute favourites.... the first Mac look I ever did was Freshwater and Bitter, it was the brights that attracted me to the brand in the first place.... I used to be scared of Chrome Yellow as it drains me, but I've discovered I can rock it just fine if I wear it with other things....

The only pressed MAC shadows I'm scared of are Club and Cranberry. I am VERY attracted to both, but am afraid either would make me look like I've a black eye (I used to own Urban Decay "Lounge" which is very similar to Club, and was a horror beyond compare on me).... so dark reddish hued colours, basically....

The other thing I'm scared of (don't laugh, ladies!) is pigments !!!!! £15 for one eye colour is SUCH a big investment if I buy 'em from the MAC store.... and if I buy pigment samples anywhere else at all (Livejournal, ebay, etc) there's no guarantee they're genuine and I'm not putting horrible un eyesafe cr@p on my lids..... I think one day I may end up getting violet (as the looks shown on here always make it look beautiful and the pefect shimmer purple) or kitschmas (which I see as very multi-purpose and cute), but I've never been tempted thus far.....

Amberlights, I know shock...and electric eel. I got a whole bunch of compliments a year+ ago when I smeared it across my lid but now I just look at it everyday and can't bring myself to touch it. Also, anything grey I think they look so bad on me!
