Purchasing MAC collection for friend...HELP!

[sheaspearl83]

My friend absolutely adores my makeup and has since been trying to create looks with various other brands...She is very special and I would like to give her a gift of a new collection...however, I will have to simplify it for her because she does not have the application techniques down as of yet...Please help me choose a 2 shadows, a matte for outer crease and a highlighter, if necessary for each color scheme. She has very beautiful golden skin and all colors seem to work well for her deep brown eyes. NC30

This should be bumped up, if for no other reason than the fact that you're a really awesome friend for doing this. ...sooo...as far as recommendations, I'd definitely say Carbon and Vanilla e/s...Vanilla's a wonderful highlight for just about any color scheme, and carbon is great for a smokey look, be it pink, purple, blue, etc.
For pinks, I personally love sushi flower and passionate, blues, I'm in love with a bunch...depending on what kind of blue look you're going for, jewel blue, electric eel, deep truth, tilt, and contrast are my faves.
Purples...hmm...I have so many it's hard to pick just a couple...but sketch is a really great one that's pretty versatile...and parfait amour, satellite dreams, and nocturnelle.
Greens...I usually go for steamy, swimming, and/or humid, and greensmoke.
As for your nude/light one, I'm guessing you mean something for work, where tons of color may not necessarily be appropriate? Maybe espresso, satin taupe, or all that glitters?
Hope that helps a bit...your girl is lucky to have such a good friend.

That's sooo sweet of you!! She is lucky to have such a nice friend

I am NC30 so I will give you my favourites to create the eye colour schemes above. In addition, I would suggest getting Shroom or Dazzlelight as a brow highlight to use in conjunction with all of the above. Alternatively, Bare Study Paint Pot would double as a brow highlight and primer.

Smokey eye - Carbon, Print
Purple eye - Beautiful Iris, Parfait Amour
Green eye - Juxt, Humid
Blue eye - Steamy, Plumage
Pink eye - All that Glitters, Expensive Pink
Nude eye - Grain, Romp

You are such a great friend!!! I'm also NC30. Here are my suggestions.

Smokey eye- carbon and knight divine
Purple eye- beautiful iris and parfait amour
Green eye- humid and aquavert or swimming
Blue eye- electric eel and deep truth
Pink eye- expensive pink and motif (well this isn't really pink...sorry I don't own many pinks haha)
Nude/Light eye- wedge and all that glitters

Here are a couple of my favorite highlight colors- ricepaper, dazzlelight and shroom

I love neutral/brown eyes so here are some more suggestions: sable, espresso, tempting, and woodwinked

Oh yeah and you def. need satin taupe!
