So this is my MAC palette in its current state, and here is what's in it... Eyeshadows: Satin Taupe, Shale, Smut, Scene, Electra, Indian Ink, Mystery. (I also have Brun, but that one is still in its pot.) I've my eye on Omega, Vellum, Typographic, and a few others, the names of which escape me at the moment. Blushes: Dame, Strada, Taupe. (I also have Pink Cult (LE), but that one is still in its pot.) One I'm wanting is Well Dressed. I'm quite fair-skinned. I've never been matched to a MAC foundation, though I imagine I'm lighter than NC/NW15 in most of them. I wear NARS Siberia and Becca RSSF in Shell. I have grey eyes with a ring of brown around the pupil.

Not sure if you're still looking for recommendations as I see you're on a low-buy too..

But if you are.. I'm also in NARS Sibera but I have a slightly lighter hair color and blue/grey eyes. My favorite blushes from MAC are Blushbaby, Tenderling, Pink Swoon and Melba. For eyeshadows I like Quarry, Shale, Haux, Satin Taupe, Cranberry, Sumptuous Olive, Woodwinked, and Amber Lights.

Single eyeshadows are fine for my low-buy if they're considered staples or are unique colours. Similar with blush. I already own Shale (one of my favourites) and Satin Taupe (another fave), and I've got a couple of colours that are similar to/dupes for Quarry (MUG Unexpected and UD Tease in my Naked 2). I know Woodwinked is much loved/favoured, so I may give that a go at some point. Thank you! :)

Looking at the shades you already have I'd recommend Patina, Naked Lunch and Charcoal Brown, and I think Well Dressed is a good blush choice. Mocha would be nice too :)

Oh MAN.... Hands down... CANTALOUPE blush! Must Have status! Tarte blushes pop right out of their pans... No depotting required... So if you don't mind a different brand... Tarte Exposed!

I've been thinking about those two also.. for way in the future when low-buy is over of course. :)
Heehee exactly! They are both really awesome staple blushes. Rather than grabbing a LE one sometime this year... Maybe try one of these instead! They are foolproof! I grab them way more often than almost all my LE blushes!
