MULCH!
Gah, i use it all the time. Its so versatile!
I hit it on Carbon and Light Ray. It won’t be long before Omega show its pan. I’m not a longtime mac user, mind you.
I think the only thing I have ever hit pan on is a Cover Girl eyeshadow that I wore every day in high school.
Me, too! I’ve only hit pan on a Max Factor eyeshadow called Sultry Blonde that’s my all-time favorite. Of course, they stopped making it years ago. 🙂
Ricepaper, Mylar, Femme Fi, Dazzlelights, mainly the highlights.
SOLAR WHITE! i love love that color but i don’t know where they sell more of it or a really good dupe for it. =(
Vanilla pigment is similar, but not a dupe. They have the same sort of sheen, but vanilla is more pink and solar white more golden =) Solar White is also a part of the “a rose is a rose”-quad that was released with a rose romance (nordies exclusive, though).
thanks purity! i have vanilla pigment but you know how it’s not the same and you just want the EXACT same one? i seen the nordies exclusive quad but i didn’t want to get the whole quad because i didn’t really want the other eyeshadows, i know sounds crazy but i wasn’t feeling those colors, you know what i mean? but thanks so much. =)
Vanilla, Charcoal Brown, Bamboo, Carbon, All That Glitters, Embark, Yogurt
Patina, grain, nehru, shroom, vex, shale.
Vex for me too! I think I’m on my 3rd one.
Shroom only, so far =)
Digit, Beautiful Iris and Bark
Only one: Cliniques Keylime prime.
Adire that shadow.
Naked lunch. I use it nearly everyday ’cause it’s so lovely.
Naked Lunch for me, too
Naked lunch! it’s not too bright or white or yellow or cool or warm like the other hilight colors. LUV!
Ricepaper, Vanilla, Soft Brown, Rose Blanc, Bamboo, Nehru, Showstopper, Satin Taupe. Mostly the neutrals 🙂
Dazzlelight & All That Glitters!
:]
I just started with makeup on Dec 08…I have never hit pan on any of my mac e/s…but would love to see n hit it somebody! i have been buying and using each sparingly!
Phloof, and Stars and Rockets. Phloof is my highlight/neutral lid colour so I use it every day…and Stars and Rockets is just so pretty that I use lots of it apparently :p
I’ve hit pan with Pink Venus and Tempting in my Tempting Quad is almost hitting pan.
honeylust and Revlon sequin
just Warming Trend so far. It’s my favorite neutral and sadly I have no backups.
Hey, Stefanie! e-mail me @ cmonge23@sbcglobal.net, I might be able to get you a backup of warming trend! I know my cousin has a few.
I have not hit pan on any eyshadows yet, but considering I have almost 4 palettes full I know why. I do have e prediction that it will be wedge, all that glitters, or shroom and possibly warming trend.
This is me as well! I have 5 15-pan palettes so I have yet to hit the pan on any. Vex is a good candidate to be the first one, though!
Vapour.
MAC: Crystal, Nylon, Pink Freeze, Juxt, Vapour, Digit, Li’Lily, Amethyst, Parfait Amour. I’m sure there are other purple shades, but I can’t recall right now.
none cuz im not into MAC for a long time.
But Pincurl comes very close to it. I love this color, but sadly it’s an LE item. I loved brunette blonde redhead in general 🙂
My main ones are nylon, jest, anti-establishment and grand entrance.
Anti-establishment is limited edition and i really wish they came out with it again. I’m using it so rarely now to conserve whats left! Grand entrance is also limited edition but they’re bringing it back in the fall so I’m super excited!
Satin Taupe, Jest, Retrospeck
I didn’t realize how many until I went and checked! I’ve had most of these for a few years now, but this list sounds expensive and scary, lol.
Here they are:
Bronze, Shroom, Expensive Pink, Era, Knight Divine, Grain, Trax, Velvet Moss, Electric Eel, Jewel Blue, Tilt, and Freshwater.
Satin Taupe, Espresso and Crystal Avalanche
Sultress – green grey (satin)/ Aria – nuetral mid tone beige (satin)
Pure Energy – frosty light pink (frost)/ Amazon – frost pale yellow (frost)/ Statuesque – soft pastel peach (veluxe)/ Roustabout – deep plum (satin)/ Nylon – Pale gold with icy metallic shimmer (Frost) (Permanent Shade)/ Going Bananas – Soft lemon yellow (Frost) (LE – Repromote from C-Shock)/ Sunny Girl Yellow gold (frost)/ Golden Gold Deep golden bronze (veluxe pearl)/ Trend Neutral tan with gold pearlized pigments (lustre)
Ive never hit pan on any eyeshadow ever,thats really odd isnt it? lol But i have hit bottom of my bare minerals glimmer in celestine.Its a loose pigment shadow ,much smaller then Mac pigments but also 1,000 times nicer.Its so lovely everyone should try it 🙂
None yet…except when I tried to depot and broke my shadows.
Shroom & Femme Fi. They are my go-to highlighters almost everyday & sometimes my all-over lid color as well. I used to go through 4 Shrooms a year until Femme Fi came on the scene. Now I go through about 2 of each every year. I know Femme Fi is LE, but i just keep my eyes open for it on wholesale sites online & have been able to get it recently for only $11 so i feel like i scored. It was the Neo Sci Fi version no less so that was cool.
Which wholesale sites do you use? Please share =) Thx!
for me it’s orb, satin taupe, shroom, honeylust, and amber lights.
blanc type,tempting, bronze, soft brown and mulch……these are the shadows i use for my everyday eyeshadow….and i love them so much!
I got into MAC around December of 2008, so none of my five eyeshadows have hit pan yet. I use Shroom every single day, so it won’t be long before that hits. Of the other eyeshadows I have, I’ve hit pan with a Bonne Belle quad – not because I love it so much – I do, but that’s not the reason – but because I dropped the quad like five times so the glittery pink-plum shade completely fell out beyond all hope 🙁 and the dark purple chipped down to pan. I never use the red-coral shade in that, but I’m sure the pale pink shade (similar to Vex) will pan soon!
I was doing my makeup in the car a few hours ago, and meanwhile I hit pan applying The Body Shop’s Chocolate shadow! It’s a shimmery/frosty dark brown-taupe with a touch of warmth to it, and it’s pretty similar to MAC’s Buckwheat. I don’t use it *that* often but it’s so soft I guess it’s easy to hit pan with the smooth texture! 🙂
i have hit quite a few colours, the most recent ones are MUFE Diamond Shadow 307 (black) and regular shadow 126
None yet, but I’ve only been into MAC for six months, and I have DOZENS of shadows. I think Femme-fi will be the first, as I use it very frequently, but there aren’t any shadows I use *every* day (I really only wear eyeshadow maybe 2-4x/week) so it will be quite a while!
Stila Launey, and the TINIEST bit of pan showing through on MAC Texture.
otherwise, i don’t make a dent in my e/s…
I hit the pan on…
Shroom
Da Bling
Expensive Pink
I’ve hit pan on Handwritten (use this will almost every look). Ricepaper, Bold & Brazen, Soft Brown are quickly following. Also not a shadow, but I’m near the end of Indianwood paint pot…works good as a lid colour!
only ones that ive accidentaly cracked depotting lol. i dont wear makeup very often at all.
Mine are Naked Lunch, Femme Fi and Gorgeous Gold. Really hope they bring out Femme Fi again with another collection-it’s my fave :/!
None in a very long time. I think I gave a few old Oriflame, Max Factor, etc. eyeshadows to my sister last year that were showing the pan, but I got those about 10 years ago anyway. Although I use eyeshadows every single day, I have a big stash, so not using the same ones every day. I can’t see ever using up any of my eyeshadows to be honest. I have bought a new face powder the other day because I used my everyday powder up, but that’s about it.
I only owned four MAC eye shadows (Goldmine, Coppering, Expensive pink, and Nylon). However, I totally finished Nylon like 6 months ago and haven’t been able to replace it yet.. 🙁
MAC Bronze only
only ricepaper, saddle and angelic by quo.
i tend to use different shades all the time, so ricepaper and angelic are the only shadows i’ve ever had to repurchase…on purpose anyway! (i accidentally bought embark twice! och well…at least its a veratile colour…)
i’ll be very sad when i finish saddle, as it seems they’re discontinuing it!
Only Phloof!
MAC Ricepaper, UD Sin, UD Chopper. 🙂
i hit pan on urban decay’s sin and chopper too!! also grifter. none of my mac shadows are close to being finished yet!
Shroom, Blanc type, wedge. I’ve hit pan on shroom so many times, it’s definitely my favorite eyeshadow.
ricepaper, vex, juxt, shroom, grand entrance. I have hit pan for vex and juxt at least 2-3 times because those were my first eyeshadows!
Carbon and white frost <3
MAC’s Carbon (a few times), vellum, nano gold. Urban Decay’s Fishnet, Too Faced Steel Magolia’s (which they don’t make anymore *tear*), and a purple by Milani that I don’t know the name of but know it when I see it!
Trax, Hepcat, Blanc Type, and Beautiful Iris (I’ve repurchased this like 3 times haha)
I’ve been using MAC for 3 years now, and I have used up: all that glitters and claire de lune. I have hit pan on: Ricepaper, Naked Lunch, sweet lust, and pink venus.
Out of these, I would possibly replace All that glitters, ricepaper, and naked lunch. But I wasn’t overly impressed with the texture of sweet lust, pink venus, or claire de lune (which was LE anyway!)
Shroom, dazzlelight, phloof, cork, jete and pan is coming on tempting, my new most favorite brown.
only nylon but i still have some left nad also a backup
Ricepaper, Nylon, Bronze, Sushiflower, Courdoroy, and Naked Lunch.
I’ve hit pan on Brule, Carbon, Mystery, Bamboo, Contrast, Shroom, Cranberry, and a few more but can’t remember lol
rice paper, vanilla, shroom, satin taupe, bronze and naked lunch.
richpaper, all that glitters, retro-spek, amber lights, coppering, woodwinked, sumptuous olive, vex, plum dressing, nocturnelle…
Jest, shroom, sable, because those were my main three I had until I started “collecting” rather than just buying what I needed.
I’ve also hit pan on Pink freeze, Romantique and Say Yeah!. I never know if should use up LE shadows or if I should save them for as long as possible. 🙂
I’m on my third pan of Jest, and I’ve hit pan on Goldmine, Bronze, White Frost, Black Tied, Freshwater, Chrome Yellow, Aquadisiac, Nocturnelle and Paradisco. Oh, and Thunder from the Thunder Eyes quad as well.
Tempting
Humid
Nylon
Cork
Nylon and Humid will be the first MAC shadows I have finished completely (they are almost totally gone). Kind of exciting! But bad for my wallet. 😛
Naked Lunch, Jest, and Trax
MAC’s Digit and Espresso 🙂
MAC Patina is almost gone.
Trax, Surreal, Brule, Orb, and Patina, just one more and… back2mac!
Shroom and Satin Taupe. But I’ve had them the longest, so that makes sense.
crystal avalanche like 20 times
Humid, Paradisco, Era, Aria (DC’d), Espresso, Contrast, Bisque, Yogurt, Quarry, and Shroom (many times – I think I’m just shy of my 10th b/u) -worn MAC for many yrs. BB -several ones that aren’t around anymore & Beige Shimmerwash & Blonde. Hit pan on a few Lorac: Persuasion, Olive, Cappucino.
I’ve hit pan on gesso (my favorite!!) brule and velum. These are the only things i’ve ever hit pan on. Well, i’ve actually hit pan on some mary-kate and ashely, and some target stuff from a long long long time ago, but that was only because i was young and messing around with different make-up. lol I don’t use that stuff now.
Nylon & Femme Fi… are my old two 😉
Hmmm…Vex, Shroom, Mylar, Motif, Metamorph, Haze, and Femme-Fi…just off the top of my head.
Espresso, Ricepaper- Twice!, demi sweet, Almond Icing, Blanc Type, Star Violet, Carbon, Stars and Rockets, and Honesty
mulch is completely empty and era ive hit the pan on it.
juxt and a stila eyeshadow in icon
None, although I am close on Vex. I have so many eyeshadows and I’m always playing with looks, so I hardly get close.
vex, club, shroom have all hit the pan but I’m sure there are others that are close, and a vanilla from dior that was discontinued long ago.
Femme Fi and Mulch – my favorite daily combo!!!
Mylar.
The only one is Amber Lights.
Vex(3xs), Nylon, Sprout, Prismique, Tilt, Violet Dear, Honeylust, and a few more I can’t remember the names of that were LE.
Juxt and Goldmine are the only eyeshadows I’ve used up completely and hit the pan currently on Woodwinked.
Stila Kitten, Kahlo and Ecru.
Goldmine, Beautiful Iris, Stars N’Rockets, Shroom are the Mac eyeshadows that I’ve hit pan on so far.
Mylar, Nylon, Cork, Wedge & Espresso.
Brule(x4), Atlas, Contrast, Trax, Orb, Patina, Shale, Surreal, Mulch,Mylar, Black Owl and Chroma sinful serpent.
A couple in my Coastal Scents palette. I love that palette! They are tiny though, so it’s easy to use it up quickly.
I have never hit pan on any e/s…..it’s sad…..I just own way too many but if I had my way I would own many, many more!
none yet :/
Shroom, Nylon, & Retrospeck. Shroom really is my HG e/s.. I don’t know how many times I’ve repurchased this shade!
I’ve hit pan on shroom twice and also satin taupe 🙂
all that glitters, jest, goldmine, shroom, and I think vex is the next one to hit pan.
I’ve hit pan on MAC retrospeck 4 times!
ive only hit pan on nylon, which ive had for 2 years and JUST hit pan a few weeks ago.

Bronze, Swish, and Creme De Violet?!? i think is the name…
stars n rockets, parfait amour, pen n pink, blanc type, freshwater, beautiful iris, vellum
MAC Corduroy
shroom
White Frost, Sable, All that Glitters, Naked Lunch, & Bon Fete (from the “cool eyes” LE Holiday Collection palette.
