What are you favorite white or close to white e/s's ???? I'm a very yellow honey/caramel/tan color (never got swatched for MAC sorry!!) but i do a lot of my friends & familys make-up so i want to get at least 2 or 3 colors that will suit us all!!!

thanks!

nylon! im very yellow too and thats my fav shadow. its a very pale yellow that looks like a creamey white almost.

white frost is always good too though for a true white, its very frosty and looks hot if u wear it right!

I just bought my first true white. I was going to get Gesso but I decided on Crystal Avalanche. Its frosty. Gesso was just stark white. I thought Crystal Avalanche would be more versatile. Just my opinion. I guess I'll see.....

Other suggestions that I have seen on women of color are:
Nylon
Modest Tone (LE)
Daisychain
Vanilla

Yup. how could I forget Blanc Type? This one is just like Vanilla in that I only need a teeny tiny amount. I think they will last forever

I have never been able to find an eyeshadow that gives me that true white look, but if you can get your hands on some, Pure White Pigment is definately the way to go.

Do you really find that Gesso looks good on our skin tone? (I guess this isn't directed at you specifically as many others have answered the same.)

I keep wanting to get it, but I've been told (and will admit)...I think it's a bit chalky. I have Crystal Avalanche (which I love) but would like a matte (or close to matte) white colour....

None of the MAs I've ever been to have recommended any white...

My fav whites to use are nylon and pure white pigment. Love those.

Okay so i'm whiter than white can be but the tile of your thread made me crave a twix =)

Even though it's not technically white I think Solar White is gorgeous!

Arena and Orb are really nice. I use both of them pretty much daily.

crystal avalanche works for me

I just bought Gesso. I hope it works out. Now i have Crystal Avalanche and Gesso for my true whites. I don't think i'll need anymore. The rest are beiges and creams.

I'm gonna go against the grain and suggest Maybelline Vanilla e/s. It's a hella frosty white shade that I've had for a while, but I think I'm liking alot now...
