Of these, I have only "Satin Taupe," and it is WONDERFUL!
I have light pinkish ivory skin, intensely green eyes, and dark brown hair, and most "brown" shadows make me look tired. Not Satin Taupe, however; I think it's the lack of any red tones whatsoever.
I use Satin Taupe in conjunction with Shroom(what took me so long to discover this?), Blacktrack Fluidline,Sunnydaze pigment, and I have the perfect neutral-but-not-boring eye.

The only one I own is sushi flower. I love that color. I think I am close to hitting the pan on it. It's so pretty and I adore the name. Sushi Flower!!!

I can't believe Patina didn't make the neutral list. I have quite a few of the listed neutrals, but Vanilla is too light for me to do anything with and I am not crazy about Retrospeck. I have 9 of 10 of the brights and chrome yellow is on my wishlist.
