What was your first eyeshadow[not necessarily MAC]?
I'm NW15; brunette; green eyes.
I started wearing makeup back in the late 70s, when I was about 13.
My first eyeshadow was this horrible Maybelline blue-green, because I thought you were supposed to wear eyeshadow that matched your eye color.
Thank God, I soon discovered browns, taupes and plums, and never looked back.

My first MAC shadow was Pink Freeze or Juxt. My first shadow I remember buying was a Jane grey shadow. It came with a wand applicator. Ewww!!!

I can't remember when I got my first makeup but I know before Mac... I always wore brown. I didn't think any other colour went with my brown hair and eyes. Thank God for Mac... it has really opened my eyes to all of the different possibilities.

I was 13 too, it was this black and white duo from Revlon, really only used it for lining my eyes 'cause black eyepencil was too harsh looking.

i never really wore makeup and it was so cool to have my best friend living with me, so i just used hers all the time.
But my first one that I bought myself was MAC and it was Beautiful Iris (and Violet pigment) because I was Gertrude McFuzz in Seussical the Musical and she was...purple. LOL.

My first eye shadows were a palatte that I took from my mom's kit. It was from China and super old and smelled like perfume, and it was all really bright colours. My firt MAC was Electric Eel

Absolutely no idea what my first eye shadows were since I started collecting in middle school... but since I have only recently started collecting MAC, I do remember my first shadows from there: Carbon, Electra, Swimming and Humid.

And ironically, these are all colours that, to this day, get a lot of use.

My very first eyeshadow was Texture. It came in a larger pan, so I also used it as a blush. I think it's older than my kids. I can't bring myself to B2M it. It's an old school MAC item.

Wow, I can't even remember. My mom used to try to make me get into makeup by buying me stuff, but I can't remember the majority of what she bought.

I don't remember the first color I bought myself, but it was either Jane or Wet 'n' Wild (because I was a poor student in high school). I know it was probably a white, beige, or purple color, because I had noticed when I was young that those colors bring out my eyes... Hell, I might have bought one of each...

I do remember one of my first lipsticks (that I bought) though. It was a blue-green color I got for Halloween. I used to wear it for the hell of it to school, because it was fun to watch people's reactions, and I love wearing crazy stuff every now and then ^_^.

Well I sure can't remember my first one ever, but my first MAC shadows (which I bought together) were Shroom and Springtime Skipper.

Clinique Pair of Shades Eyeshadow Duo in Seashell Pink/Fawn Satin. I got it in sixth grade along with Superbalanced Foundation in Breeze, Lucky Clover Pressed Powder Blush, and Air Kiss lipgloss. And the Three Step Skincare. Clinique is such a great starter brand!

I still have it <3
(first MAC shadow was Nehru, Jest, and Pink Venus that I got at the same time)

my first mac shadow was Trax, which gave me that oh so coveted punched in the eye look ... until one of my friends walked off with it.... i think she did me a favor.

There was this line called Aziza. It was actually fairly good. Then it vanished and showed up as Aziza II. It was not as good and found it's way into the dollar store.

So, my first e/s was from Aziza in a trio of purples. Then, I bought their green and grey colored trio e/s. I really liked them.

I remember Aziza! They made a mascara that wasn't half bad too! Then they disappeared into the ozone...

I couldn't tell ya what my first eyeshadow was... some palette my mom had probably! My first MAC shadow was 'moth brown'. I don't own any other MAC shadows besides that one... I am a PIGMENT kinda gal.

My first MAC e/s was Jest. I still have it, it's in screwtop form and I can't bring myself to depot it. Too many good memories! It's such a buttery smooth e/s as well, I'm interested to see if today's Jest is as nice still
