Eyeshadow and blush suggestions: Help me fill my palette!

[shellygrrl]

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!

Thank you!

You're welcome! I saw that you had Shale and Satin Taupe but I thought I'd include them so you knew we had some of the same tastes haha.

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

I definitely 2nd the Melba blush rec! And off the top of my head... Eyeshadows: Brown Script, Nylon, Texture, Cranberry, and Rule

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!

Definitely don't mind suggestions from other brands!
