What are the 10 must have NYX eyeshadows?

[InspiredBlue]

I want to get some NYX stuff from Cherry Culture, since they have a sale right now. But there are so many colors!

So, what are the 10 must have colors in NYX eyeshadows?

What kinds of colors do you like? Do you like brights, neutrals, greens, purples? Give us an idea of what you want so that we can give you a better rec!

I like all kinds of colors, but I guess I'm after some more versatile basics. Not necessarily neutrals though - I like bright colors for everyday looks too. I don't have a lot of pressed shadows because I've been really into mineral shadows for a while.

So far in my cart:
Champagne
Iced mocha
Flamingo
Purple

 

[Rennah]

Aloha & Beanie are must haves!

 

[gildedangel]

I think that Lime is my favorite NYX shadow.

I like Cork as a pretty brown neutral. Two others in that color family are Hawaiian Coffee and Volcano.

 

[Temptasia]

Purple for sure.

 

[Nenaah]

I loove suede, nude and aloha! For neutrals.. Suede and aloha come on a trio along with chocolate. Oopsy, I meant SAHARA not aloha . but aloha is just as pretty

.

I like brown (dark brown), ray, lanikai, morocco, and especially black

Cream Cheese and Cream (I think is is what it's called or maybe it's called Creamy) are excellent highlight colors.

Highlight (beautiful satin highlight color)
Frosted Flakes (frosty highlight)
Suede (satiny tan)
White (satiny white)
Black (Carbon dupe)
Morocco (deep purple-blue)
Aqua (shimmery-frosty icy blue)
Prune (satiny deep pink)
Deep Purple (satiny red-toned purple)
Rust (coppery red satiny-shimmer)
Sunrise (powdery red with silver shimmers)
Sunset (golden orange satin--I prefer this over the new MAC Off the Page)
Salmon (satiny light peach)
Lime Green (pale seafoam)
Green Tea (a bluer light green)
Ocean (medium-deep aqua)
Luster (green tinged gold)
Springleaf (yellow-green-gold)
Kiwi (really pretty-greener than ^^^)


Maybe that's a few more than ten...

I saw Apricot Moose on Makeup Geek and thought it was very pretty, but they didn't have it on Cherry Culture.

I really love Dark Brown, it's the perfect color for me (cool toned NW20). Silver and Charcoal are really great if you like gray eye looks. Don't bother with White, Gray or Black as single eyeshadows, get the trio. Super versatile matte colors. Flamingo is gorgeous, good pick!

I wasn't that impressed with Frosted Lilac, a light purple, it was way too sheer.

Here's a swatch of two NYX eyeshadows that I have:

Thanks for all the good ideas. I seem to be on a pinks kick lately. Which are of the NYX pinks would you recommend? Are there some I should avoid?

 

[Nivette]

it's so hard to find only 10 must have eyeshadows...
my favs:

Aloha
Frosted Flakes
Light Green
Suede
Black
Salmon
Morocco
Prune
Rust
Sunrise
Sunset
Springleaf (

 

[Caderas]

i don't have much, but from what i do..

i love Frosted Flakes and everything in the #12 trio (Walnut Bronze, etc.). that trio has my HG brow color in it, and all the shadows are highly pigmented! the rust is super comparable to Cranberry!

 

[Vixxan]

That's a tough one but here goes.

Lime Green
Atlantic
Ray
Wild Fire

I also use these as blush/eyeshadow/bronzer/highlighters:

Salmon

Walnut
Peach
Shimmer
Pine Nut
Copper
