I'd say purples, greens and blues.

But for MAC e/s would say warm greens, then neutrals, then browns (neutrals and browns mainly in paint form).

Seem to be going through a massive warm eye/neutral makeup phase of late.

 

[fairytale22]

Well I kind of meant like the specific shadows...

ie. for greens:
Humid, Lucky Green, Sumptuous Olive
Blues:
Freshwater, Electric Eel, Tilt.

Or something like that.

 

[tracie]

I don't own a ton of mac shadows yet, about 30..but these are the ones that stuck out to me at the counter, so i purchased them.

1. Purples - beautiful iris, violet pigment
2. Pinks - living pink, swish, cranberry, UD last call
3. Blues - freshwater, ingenue blue
4. Greens - lucky green, UD vert, shimmermoss
5. Yellow/Orange/Red - sunsplosion, say yeah!
6. Browns - trax, sable
7. Black/White - black tied, prismique

1. Purples - Parfait Amour & Violet Pigment
2. Pinks - Living Pink & Pink Papillon
3. Blues - Clone & Tilt
4. Greens - Lucky Green, Golden Olive pigment & Emerald Green pigment.

I'm also going through a massive neutral phase! I think it's because of fall though, then in winter I'll go more with purples again & deeper colors, then in spring I break out the wild stuff <3 My makeup moods vary depending on the weather in general though. EX:Rainy-I might do blues or dark silvers..
