I always base my whole eye-all the way to brow with Mary Kay's Beige Correcting Concealer. Makes everything pop.
I'm N9.

Re: Highlighting shades
I love love love Patina. It is the only MAC shadow I have hit the pan on. It's great for a more subtle highlight. I also love Shroom and I just picked up Motif today so I can't wait to use it as a highlight among other things.
Nylon is also nice, but I prefer Rose Blanc. Oh Honesty is an amazing higlight as is Retrospeck.

Re: Highlighting shades
Arena is my HG highlight. I don't like anything too shimmery either and Arena looks my skin color. It works for a lot of skin tones too. Sometimes I'll do Arena first, then add the tiniest bit of Shroom, Nylon, or Vanilla pigment just under the brow.

Re: Highlighting shades
If I'm going out at night Retospeck is my favorite, but I use it very lightly.

Ooh! I appreciate you mentioning Malt, because I've got that in some MAC eye pallet from last winter (I think it was) and I was like WTF? What am I going to do with this? And strangely, it never occurred to me to try it as a browbone highlighter!
