Your 10 MAC eyeshadows that you have to have....

[K&T Makeup]

I am a professional makeup artist and I am always building my kit. I have been swaying back and forth about which brand I want to be in my kit the most and I have decided to go with M.A.C, for several reasons. The first being that if I ever need something NOW, I can always go to one of many MAC stores that are local, however with Yaby and such I have to order them and sometimes with all that life has going on I simply forget something until the last minute...so with all this being said and the fact that I am fairly new to the MAC world..I have to know the Top 10 eye shadows that you HAVE to have...I appreciate your help

You ladies are wonderful. I know that I want to get Satin Taupe, Vanilla, Ricepaper, and Carbon (have to check into Black tie) but beyond that I am stuck. I want to have the basics to create basic natural looks for all and then start getting my pretty pretty colors later and just use the palette that I have for that. Slowly transitioning to MAC is going to take me a minute...

PLEASE look at Blanc Type before you get Vanilla. They're very, very close in colour but Blanc Type is smoother, easier to work with and has much better colour payoff.

Humid is another particular shadow that I absolutely adore.
