MAC e/s recs for NC35 Asian

[grashi]

Hi there!

I am really addicted to MAC's eyeshadow and I have a pretty good collection right now, but I have a gift card to Dillard's and wanted to blow it on some more MAC stuff

Here is my eyeshadow collection right now:

Black Tied
Blue Absinthe
Bronze
Brule
Brun (for brows...but this seems to be too dark...what do you other Asian ladies use?)
Club
Coppering
Contrast
Cranberry
Expensive Pink
Fake
Greensmoke
Humid
Knight Divine
Motif
Mulch
Mystical Mist
Mythology
Naked Lunch
Parfait Amour
Plum Dressing
Pink Freeze
Satellite Dreams
Shroom
Sketch
Vapour
Vex
Woodwinked

Pigments:
Violet
Melon
Mauvement
Quick Frost


What other ones would you suggest? As you can tell I'm pretty into purples and browns/neutrals, but I have very dark brown eyes and I've been told that anything looks good on me

Also suggest any other products you like, or would recommend for me

TIA!

i really love golden olive pigment (im nc35 also)

How about Beauty Marked? I think that it goes well with browns/ neutrals and purples. Or maybe expand your collection with some blues like Deep Truth, Freshwater, Electric Eel, etc? I personally like the Veluxe Pearl Eyeshadows because they show up well and don't fade as fast (on me anyway). I usually check out the colors on the site, make a list, and then go play with them in person.

For my brows I use Coquette E/S.

On my eyes, I like to dabble in a little bit of everything =)

i have really dark brown eyes and plumage and cloudburst, and some teal pigment mixed with dark soul really makes them pop!!!

Thank you everyone for the great recommendations! I think I will go in and take a look at Freshwater, Electric Eel, Pumage, Cloudburst and Coquette for my brows. So excited!

do you have any pictures of this? I'm interested in seeing how it would look like. I have a full jar of teal piggie and it does nothing but look pretty in my cabinet.

Are you mainly looking for eyeshadows?

I am also a NC35 and some staples in my collection are -- Trax, Shale, Sable, Deep Truth, Paradisco Satin Taupe and Nocturnelle.

Also, if you can still get an Orpheus Kohl Power...THIS IS LOVE.

i have pictures of me wearing it but i suck at close ups but maybe i can get a friend to take a picture of my eyes the next time we go out and i'll post it for u....it just makes it more of a dark smokey teal color...i also use it with the mixing medium to make eyeliner!!!
