Favourite MAC shadows?
Hi ladies, newbie here! Just wondered what everyone's must have eyeshadows were from MAC (and/or anywhere else for that matter!) and which ones were duds? I feel the need for some more shadows but I get dizzy around all the colours
(I'm an NC43 btw)
I love: Amber Lights, Coppering, Expensive Pink.
Duds: Trax

Re: Favourite MAC shadows?
Ooh I like Humid too!
How do you get Trax to work? I find it looks really grey on me. I've been using it under a brighter lilac shadow (a cheap drugstore one), but other than that...

Nocturnelle
Favorite Brights
Sushi Flower
Chrome Yellow
Aquadisiac
Jewel Blue

Ones I bought and regretted: Trax because it's just got a texture that doesn't work with the colour imo.

Re: Favourite MAC shadows?
I love Paradisco...
as a sheer wash it really brightens the eye and it pulls double duty as a blush
and Ricepaper... another eye brightening color... soft & just frosty enough not to be completely boring

Re: Favourite MAC shadows?
Shadows I love:
Highlight
Arena
Expensive Pink
Neutrals
Woodwinked
Bronze
Brights
Tilt
Electric Eel
Freshwater *swoon* I love my blues!
Chrome Yellow
Hepcat
Duds:
Dazzlelight (gorgeous colour but too sparkly on me..I actually returned this one.)
Swimming (I don't hate it...I'm indifferent to it. Again, I think it's the sparkles/texture. Still in my collection. It'll work for me one day.)
