I, too, love "Idol Eyes." I know that quite a few consider it "too frosty," but I think it's beautiful, and the color really plays up my green eyes.

"Satin Taupe" is an absolute staple of mine. I've heard complaints that it's "too dark" or "makes me look bruised," but I use a good brush and a nice neutral highlight(Bobbi Brown's "Bone Shimmer") and it turns out great.

I agree with Jest!! I use it all the time as a highlighter, it's such a beautiful shade and goes on soo nice and smooth. The texture is incredible and the colour payoff is quite strong even though it's such a soft peach/pink/beige shade.

I also would add Woodwinked, and Carbon (because it's a staple).

Another vote for Jest! I use it nearly everyday (see the Pictureless FOTD's section) as a wash and on inner corner with darker shades. I just fell in love with it the first time I saw it at a MAC corner, but it's true that few people talk about it or use it... it's one of my fav and I practically can't live without it now! And I nearly finish it so it's about time to make a MAC expedition

Patina and ricepaper! I know it's a bit harder to find, but i absolutely LOVE peridot. So many people seemed to pass over it saying it was just aquadisiac. I reach for it all the time and I've hardly touched aquadisiac..

post #69 of 321
the colors I use the most I can say its swish and soba ( not togheter ) by judging at the size of the dip in em'

I agree that quarry is a nice, underrated color. Very subtile, neutral that brings the green out of my eyes with the purple/plum undertones.

I think "Lovemate" lipstick is under-rated. It's LE, but it's been out for months and hasn't sold out yet.
I heard some negative buzz about it shortly after it was released, but I tried it anyway, and it's GREAT!
It's a Frost, medium-to-deep rose/berry with pink and silver shimmer. It instantly brightens up my whole face(I have pale pink-ivory skin, dark brown hair, green eyes). I've worn it a lot with white clothes this summer. I've never bought a backup of anything before in my life, but this may be the one!

I love retrospeck too...great as a eye wash and brow bone highlighter..i use this very often

Mine is Vex. I have discovered that it goes well with so many other colors and it's fast becoming my HG e/s.

I like "Carbon." It's too dark, for me, to wear as a shadow, but I top my Blacktrack Fluidline with it, and it's perfect.
post #79 of 321
I've never ever ever heard anyone talk about Vapour before. It's GOREGEOUS! It's very light and has a purple irridescence to it, and if you put it over carbon it's lovely. THe texture is really nice too!

Hmmm; I may have to try that one ..
"Brun" is a rich matte dark brown "workhorse" shade that is not much talked about, also.
It's not the most original shade in the world, but it's richly pigmented and makes a great liner.
It's one of those essential "staples" that just about all of us need from time to time.

I think an under-rated Pigment is "Shimmertime." It attracted probably the least amount of attention of any of the pigments released with "She Shines," but I think it's a beautiful neutral pale pink/champagne with a lovely texture. I think more people should try it.

Malt and Kid eyeshadows. Not very exciting in the pan, but your best friends in a bridal kit and well loved for their versatility in pulling together and adding depth to a bright shimmery look.

Honourable mentions for Brule, White Frost and Soba.

Id have to say Woodwinked... I use it the most but barely hear about it, Ive seen people on LJ selling it. I love it soo much for a neutral.
post #83 of 321
Stomp, Pickle, Trax & Vex..my list can go on. LOL.
post #84 of 321
I would have to say Arena & Gleam . I love them for days when I do natural looks and I can do my eyes quickly using them together or alone.
post #85 of 321
I LOVE Gleam, Mink Pink, Paradisco, Girlie, Mythology, etc. I only hear about them here!

One I haven't seen yet: Swiss Chocolate. O.M.G. My love for this will never end. It's such a smooth brown, with a hint of red/pink to accent any pink or red tone you need.

post #87 of 321

Someone recommended this to me and I'm going to get it this weekend.

My underrated shade would be Club. It's my all time favorite eyeshadow for night time.

My eyebrows would be nothing without mystery.
