Hi all
A blog reader wrote to me asking for 15 MAC eyeshadow recommendations. Here are my suggestions, but I wanted to open it up so that you could help her as well.
She is from Spain. She very pale (tone MAC NW15 ) and her eyes are brown and green. She prefers neutral looks, since colourful looks is a bit too exagerated for her daily look (as for most of us)
She already has a quad for carbon, espresso, brule and steamy.
Here are my picks for her:

Here are my picks for her:
- satin taupe
- sketch
- expensive pink
- patina
- shale
- sumptuous olive
- woodwinked
- soba
- brun
- all that glitters OR naked lunch OR jest
- antiqued
- shroom OR nylon
- ricepaper
- motif OR vex
- cork or wedge or soft brown
For colors like greens/purples, I recommended she get pigment samples or from drugstore.

Almay makes eyeshadow trios for different eye colors. She could also look into that.
For purples: MAC Beautiful Iris, NARS Jolie Poupee, Smashbox Enchanted.
For greens: MAC Fresh Flare, Urban Decay Graffiti, NYX Mermaid Green (dupe for MAC Humid).
Peachy shades: Urban Decay ABC Gum, Revlon Peach Sorbet.
Neutrals: Revlon Vintage Lace (creamy beige), MAC Shroom, MAC Ricepaper, MAC Mylar.
What would you say are your top 15 for someone that is your skin tone and has your eye color? I ask because I'm your same kin and I love the everyday looks you come up with.
@chris - thanks for helping!
@simi - sure, I will post them soon!
