MAC must have suggestions

[singer82]

I'm a newbie, I hope this is ok. If not i'll delete it. I only get to go to a MAC store when we go to Vegas two times a year. So when I do I usually walk away with quite a few items. So I just need some recommendations on the "must haves" or "everyday items" I'm NC20 dry skin, brown eyes, dark hair.
I have...

Pigments- platinum, frost, rose, fuchia, ruby red, kitchimas, cornflower, violet, greenbrown, deepblue green, and dark soul

brushes- 120 blush/130 face/ 204, 224, 275, 194 eye brushes (I have some sephora brushes but would like to know the MUST HAVES in MAC brushes)

Lipstick- bronzilla, frou, riveting (which looks terrible on me ugh), bubbles, a shimmery pink and, and dark burgandy (too dark on me)

Eyeliner- designer purple, almost noir, industrial, blackline pearlgliders/black greasepaint stick, smolder eye kohl, rapid black penultimate

Eyeshadows- (I dont really buy many shadows from mac, I perfer urban decays. But would like to know some must have mac shadows)
birds and berries, pink freeze and plum dressing

Misc- likevenus dazzleglass and cherry electric superglass, triple fusion MSF, Strada blush, mixing medium, prep+prime, young punk mineral shadow, pink platinum cream shadow, studio lash

thanks for your help

Must have (for me):

Brushes: 217 & 239

Eyeshadow: Satin Taupe, Woodwinked, Blanc Type, Espresso. good basics

Lipsticks: Creme Cup, Shy Girl, Pink Plaid, Hue, Snob. all very user friendly

Face: Mineralize Skinfinish Natural, Well Dressed blush

I've not gone crazy on the colours, just some basics. Great to kick-start your collection, especially as you don't have any neutral e/s

Must Have:

Ricepaper Eyeshadow great highlight color
Naked pigment it looks good on everyone
Zoomlash Mascara it really lengthens and curls lashes
242 Brush is good for applying pigments, paint pots and shadow
Mac Fix Plus to set makeup, refresh dry skin and mixing medium for pigments
clear lip glass
Mac Current lipliner which is berry color but looks good with any color even red.
Viva Glam V lipstick or gloss-it looks good on everyone
