Re: Favourite MAC shadows?
There's not one I really like alone, but I like when I combine them!! :-)
Ricepaper, Woodwinked and Tempting for a golden eyes look
Classic White and Tabby for a cotton candy pink eye
that's all i've discovered for now  I'm excited to experiment somemore though.

Have you tried using gorgeous gold with just a dab of coppering in the outer corner? I think that would look sweet.
