Re: MAC FAQ: Top 10 neutral eye shadows and bright eye shadows
Well, I've four neutrals in the list and only two brights. I love neutrals and taupish colours, I think that could be in that list also Sunday best - All that glitters and Sable.
Even brights could be increased, perhaps with Electic eel or Passionate

Re: MAC FAQ: Top 10 neutral eye shadows and bright eye shadows
Wow I have only one of the Neutrals (Amber Lights) and two brights (Aquadisiac and Sushi Flower). However I have a MUFE shadow that is a dupe for Chrome Yellow, and I don't wear a ton of neutrals. That being said, Parfait Amour is on my wishlist of things to get when there isn't an LE collection stealing my attention. Goldmine not being on the neutrals list is surprising to me, as when I saw it used on the cover of UK Cosmo (with Jordan) I would think it would be more popular. Vanilla is nice but I would rather use the pigment than the e/s, and when it comes to white eyeshadow nothing tops Crystal Avalanche.

Re: MAC FAQ: Top 10 neutral eye shadows and bright eye shadows
lol..i have 8/10 of the neutral e/s
and i have 7/10 of the bright shadows.
but 1 of my favourite regular neutral e/s are not mentioned and i do think it is a really great though - All That Glitters e/s. It is a veluxe pearl and it has awesome texture
and i do think Gorgeous Gold and Goldmine e/s ought to be included one of the top 10 favourite bright e/s. I don't really fancy parfait amour e/s though. Color payoff kinda sucks.

To my knowledge it hasn't been discontinued, but only sold at MAC stores. Was your MA from a department store or a Mac store?

Re: MAC FAQ: Top 10 neutral eye shadows and bright eye shadows

Patina is probably one of the most underrated MAC eyeshadows. Its a lovely color.

I agree about Shroom... it was so highly recommended to me, and yet it jsut does nothing on me... I do love Amber Lights though, in moderation.

Re: MAC FAQ: Top 10 neutral eye shadows and bright eye shadows
Thanks so much for this thread! It's really overwhelming for me to go the MAC counter and see so many different shadow colors, I'm always completely confused as to what I should get. This definitely helps. I'm verrrry slowly building a collection...but this helps steer me in the right direction on where to start.

Re: MAC FAQ: Top 10 neutral eye shadows and bright eye shadows
Vanilla is my favorite highlight color of all! All That Glitters, Dark Edge and Era are my favorite neutral eye colors too. For brights, I love Parfait Amour and Shimmermoss since they are very pigmented. Although I don't like Electric Eel and Bitter since you have to pack them on to get the color to show.

Re: MAC FAQ: Top 10 neutral eye shadows and bright eye shadows
Hmm interesting to see sushi flower up there.. I'm just so scared of pink and red eyeshadows since.. it just makes me think of a rash on some one's face. Though it depends on the colouring and the skill of the MUA!
