Need recs for my first matte MAC shadow purchases...

[arbonnechick]

Hello MAC experts!

I'm looking to purchase my very first matte MAC shadows, and I'd appreciate some recs.

To give you an idea of my coloring, I'm an NC20-25, blonde hair blue eyes, and my fave MAC shadows are Sumptuous Olive, Naked Lunch, Mulch, and Gleam.

TIA! 8)

Thanks! I'll definitely check it out.

Anybody else?

Kid, Plumage, and of course Shadowy Lady!

2nd Shadowy Lady. I also recently got Femme Noir and I think it's great. Then there's always Carbon. Rule is a good choice if you like oranges, or Orange if you want something really bright and you can get it, they'd both contrast really well with your eyes. Espresso is a good brown.

Wow, LOVE Plumage and Shadowy Lady, those two are definite picks.

What would be the best matte versions of, say, Ricepaper, Shroom and Naked Lunch?

Thanks, I just took a look at the color swatch for Femme Noir on the MAC site, and it looks beautiful. But then we all know how accurate the color swatches are there, right?

Good recs, my "to buy" list just keeps getting longer and longer....thank God for income tax rebates!
