It is super soft and buttery and the shade is very neutral (meaning it would work on a lot of skin tones and it also looks good with either a warm or cool-toned look). Soft Brown (matte) – If you are only going to buy one transition shade from MAC, then I would highly recommend this one. This one looks great with Saddle in the crease. Oops!!Īll That Glitters (pearl) – nice rosy bronze gold shade for all over the lid. One side note: I depotted the center shade a few years ago and I honestly cannot remember if it is Woodwinked or Bronze. I don’t think you NEED every shadow in here, but I would recommend every shadow in here. This leopard Z-palette holds all of my favorite MAC shadows. My friend Lisa also uses this color to mix with other highlight shades (like Vanilla or Shroom for example). I don’t have anything like this in my collection so I woulf definitely repurchase this one. If I do highlight my brow bone – this is what I use.

Ricepaper (frost) – More of a yellow-toned highlight shade.

I wouldn’t repurchase this one personally but I know it is a VERY popular shade. Honestly, it’s a little bright for me so I tend to reach for other shadows a lot more than this one. Naked Lunch (frost) – This shade is good for all over the lid or for highlighting. Ditto to everything I just said about Vanilla. Shroom (satin) – Another good highlight shade. Honestly, you probably have something similar to this in your collection. I wouldn’t repurchase this since I no longer use really white/bright shadows to highlight. Vanilla (velvet) – Bright highlight shade. So, here are the shades that are in my small highlight quad (I would have included swatches of these but none of them showed up on my arm): However, this blog post motivated me to divide up my shadows by brand. Up until last night, I stored all of my single eyeshadows together in a large Z Palette. So, when I go through my collection and tell you which shadows I wouldn’t re-purchase and which shadows I highly recommend – just keep my personal preference in mind because it may be very different from yours! To give you a little background on my current “taste” in eyeshadows: I RARELY apply a highlight shade, I like neutral matte or neutral shimmer shades all over the lid (nothing too bright/white and nothing too dark and dramatic) and I like a neutral to warm brown shade in my crease. So, the shades I own are VERY popular shades. I probably watched 20+ YouTube videos on the “best MAC shadows” before I purchased any of these. MAC eyeshadows were the first eyeshadows I ever bought. In honor of MAC dropping the price per each eyeshadow pan from $10 to $6 (THANK YOU MAKEUP GEEK) I thought it would be a good idea for me to share my collection of single MAC eyeshadows.
