What do you recommend as basic "must-have" eyeshadow colours from MAC? I have:shroom, vex, jest, shale, bronze, paradisco and woodwinked...but I want to build up my e/s choices. (I have olive skin, dark brown eyes and light hair). THANKS!!

I think Goldmine, Amber Lights, Gesso, Coppering & Carbon are must haves!

Thanks iLoveCouture!!! I'll put those on my wishlist. I've heard alot about amber lights, goldmine and carbon, so those will be the first I choose next.

You're welcome! If you are into green, Humid & Steamy are great too.

What's the best Mac foundation?

 

[Suburban Snob]

^
I think it depends on your needs and the coverage you want. I can't wear ANY MAC foundation because they all break me out, sadly. The coverage is great, however.

 

[isupporthil]

^ Well I'd like something natural, I just need a little coverage
I read in Elle that makeup artists often use Mac Face & Body Foundation for runway shows

I like MAC Hyper real foundation

So apparently MAC is doing another collaboration with Heatherette for early next year. The packaging is supposedly metallic hot pink.

I'm not a big fan of Heatherette's designs, but I'm sure the makeup will be gorgeous.

Oooooh I can tell I'm going to have so many MAC lemmings next year!

Then I'd suggest select tint, there are many good reviews about in on makeupalley too.
MAC got famous being the brand of the pros

I currently use the Select Moisturecover concealer, which is great but I need something with slightly heavier coverage - still very natural looking though. Any suggestions on which MAC concealer would be best?

 

[Jenner8675309]

I think studio finish is the best concealer.

 

[ragtag]

^ me too. i it... blends easily, looks like skin (not like makeup sitting on skin) but stays on nicely. i also love that it's SPF 35... i'm a sunscreen addict so it makes me feel just a little more protected.

Gleam is my go to colour when I don't know what to wear.
I always get compliments on it too.

what's a good highlighter to use on browbones and tear ducts?

I use the pigment Gold Dusk for brow bone....( can't remeber if it's SE or not )
but I am always a little wary of putting pigments very close to my eye- ie- tear duct. Some of the pigments warn against it.

 

[Suburban Snob]

Most, if not all, of the recent pigments are eye-safe.

Gold Dusk was a great color, much too warm for me so I got rid of it quickly after I got it, but it was Limited Edition, with the Sundressing collection sadly.

 

[Jenner8675309]

I put all the pigments around my eyes and have never had a problem.

 

[iLoveCouture]

brokenenglish - you are so lucky that gleam looks good on you! The lustre's look horrible on me; i put them on and all I get is glitter all over my face! I had gleam and mythology but I got rid of them in a MUA swap b/c of that!

 

[TUGA]

Thanks brokenenglish! I'm so excited that I have 6 empty MAC containers to take back and get an eyeshadow!!! yippee!!
