Patina is probably one of the most underrated MAC eyeshadows. Its a lovely color.

I agree about Shroom... it was so highly recommended to me, and yet it jsut does nothing on me... I do love Amber Lights though, in moderation.

Thanks so much for this thread! It's really overwhelming for me to go the MAC counter and see so many different shadow colors, I'm always completely confused as to what I should get. This definitely helps. I'm verrrry slowly building a collection...but this helps steer me in the right direction on where to start.

Vanilla is my favorite highlight color of all! All That Glitters, Dark Edge and Era are my favorite neutral eye colors too. For brights, I love Parfait Amour and Shimmermoss since they are very pigmented. Although I don't like Electric Eel and Bitter since you have to pack them on to get the color to show.

Hmm interesting to see sushi flower up there.. I'm just so scared of pink and red eyeshadows since.. it just makes me think of a rash on some one's face. Though it depends on the colouring and the skill of the MUA!

Whaaat? Dazzlelight is not on there? I LOVE it. It's my favorite highlighter.

In fact it seems I'm a bit odd when it comes to my neutrals. Most of those I don't have. But with the brights I am right on track!

Wow I have only one of the Neutrals (Amber Lights) and two brights (Aquadisiac and Sushi Flower). However I have a MUFE shadow that is a dupe for Chrome Yellow, and I don't wear a ton of neutrals. That being said, Parfait Amour is on my wishlist of things to get when there isn't an LE collection stealing my attention. Goldmine not being on the neutrals list is surprising to me, as when I saw it used on the cover of UK Cosmo (with Jordan) I would think it would be more popular. Vanilla is nice but I would rather use the pigment than the e/s, and when it comes to white eyeshadow nothing tops Crystal Avalanche.
