Re: Eyeshadow recs for blue eyes, blonde hair?
Amber lights is awesome for making my blue eyes pop. I wear it with Tempting and Retrospeck and I always get compliment son how blue my eyes are.
I also find certain shades of green make my eyes blue, but perhaps I'm just imagining things because green's my favourite colour and I'll wear it anyway

e/s recommendations for fair skin + blue eyes
Hey everyone
Just wanted to say I'm glad I found Specktra, I loveee this forum! I'm new to MAC though, so I was wondering if y'all could give me advice on some musthave eyeshadows? I already ordered some *authentic* piggie samples in the colors:
Teal
Your Ladyship
Golden Olive
Copperized
Vanilla
Chocolate Brown
Gold Mode
Melon
Tan
Since my skin is very pale, I was wondering which e/s colors would suite me best? I love neutrals, but I also like to use some bolder colors! I have brown hair and blue eyes. I hope y'all can help me out! Included a picture, just to be sure

Re: e/s recommendations for fair skin + blue eyes
Since you have blue eyes, browns would look amazing on you! I would try Woodwinked, Amber Lights, and Espresso. Wedge is a great blending e/s, and Vanilla is a must have for a highlighter
As far as blush goes, Nars Orgasm would look great- it is a light peachy coral shade. I know it's widely used, but there's a reason for that

Re: e/s recommendations for fair skin + blue eyes
Here's my top 10 list of MAC eyeshadows I think everyone should own, regardless of skin/hair/eye color:
-Vanilla
-Black Tied or Carbon
-Wedge (great for blending)
-Parrot
-Nocturnelle
-Goldmine
-Humid
-Amber Lights
-Cranberry
-Satin Taupe
If you have those basic colors, you could create a TON of different looks

Re: e/s recommendations for fair skin + blue eyes
Thanks for your help mreichert!
I wish I had Parrot, it's such a great color, but it's pro or l/e i think?
Can anybody also help me with a browcolor? I love using eyeshadow for that, but I think that espresso is a little to dark.. I don't want it to look very harsh
Oh and I know Orgasm, actually I have a great knock-off of it and I totally love it!
BTW, I received my piggie samples today and I'm in luvvv! I got a free sample, Copper sparkle

Re: e/s recommendations for fair skin + blue eyes
as far as your blush shades in coral-y/peachy shades (as it looks like you've got some great suggestions on e/s) I would recommend (I'm fair/blue eyes too):
**Peachykeen
**Sunbasque
**Tenderling (nude-peach shade, but awesome on my skin tone so must have nudey shade!!--I'm an NW20)
**NARS Deep Throat (if like me, Orgasm doesn't show up too well on you, or you'd like a color with more "punch" to it)
**Beauty Powder Sunshine Pearl (Barbie Loves MAC beauty powder) if you can find it!
I have a lot of the e/s colors you've mentioned (and other posters have too) and highly recommend them too!
HTH!!

Re: e/s recommendations for fair skin + blue eyes
I also have brown hair, fair skin and blue eyes.
These are the e/s I LOVE and wear often:
-Satin taupe
-Club
-Woodwinked
-Naked Lunch
-Trax
For blush, you should try Pinch 'o peach. It's very sheer and gives a nice flush for us pale gals.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Try Cork for your brows- it's a similar shade to espresso but not as dark. I have the same problem

Re: MAC Shadows to make blue eyes stand out and first post, yay!
I find greys are really good. They don't make eyes stand out as much as bronze or copper, but it's nice to have options. Copperplate and Earthly Riches are my favourites, but I also like Shale, Knight Divine, and Scene.
