Question for those who are very familiar with MAC eyeshadows
If I look at swatches online, these are the colors I am drawn to. However, if I were to buy a palette of only these shadows, are there enough that work together to create different looks?
Amber Lights
Expensive Pink
Woodwinked
Swish
Shimmermoss
Plumage
Sky blue
Beautiful Iris
Seedy pearl
Shale
Sable
Cork
Naked lunch
All that glitters
Shroom
Re: Question for those who are very familiar with MAC eyeshadows
I used to wear expensive pink and cork together almost every day. It wasn't as bright as you would think...I really liked it. I usually wear 2-3 colors a day and cork used to always be the contour for whatever other shade I'd wear. It worked really well with my skin (NC15).
ETA: I know that doesn't really answer your question, but I just wanted to say that those two particular colors look awesome together.

Was I a bad influence? ;op
FWIW, I'm planning on going to a mac counter and oogling all the shades before purchasing online.
Seedy Pearl is very dense and really opalescent. It's not a bad color, it's just really opaque, which I don't think comes across on the online swatch.
You'll love all those colors. Amber Lights is just about the pretties shadow out there, IMO. I wear that, or Naked Lunch, a lot. A lot, a lot!
I like to have at least one or two darker, preferably matte/ satin shades to deepen the crease or smudge at the lash line. Examples: embark, handwritten, brun, espresso.
eta: after reviewing again, plumage could probably do the job, although I'm not sure how it would look with some of your warmer colors like expensive pink, amber lights.
I would want one dark color for the crease or outer v...but I like a pretty dark outer v.
I have lots of those colors, they are all nice! I don't see a highlight shade though...you might want to choose brule or blanc type as a highlight those are my favs.
shroom is a good warm highlight, but i agree i would like a darker color for a crease or outer v, otherwise i think you have a good range of fun and everyday wear.
This was my thought, as well. If you're looking for a pearly color, check out Motif. (Geeze, I talk about Motif A LOT.) Otherwise, good choices! I have every color, and yeah, you can get a lot of looks out of them.
This entire board is a bad influence! lol. I keep saying I'm going to cut back on F&B spending, but there are so many fun products I keep learning about on here. For a couple of months I've been thinking about getting some MAC shadows, and really, really want expensive pink and amber lights. So your post reminded me of this
Oh, well, I guess there are worse things I could be spending my money on. It's not that we NEED me to cut back, but sometimes I feel a little silly when I think about what I'm spending on this stuff (especially makeup) since it's really not necessary. It's just so damn fun, though
