shroom
MAC Shore Leave
Blanc type for mattes and femmi fi for shimmery
Same here!!!
MAC’s vapour, brule, dazzlight, or universal mix pigment from All races collection!! all are so great!
MAC Femme-fi and Orb
If I had Femme-fi…that would be it. To replicate it, I top Gesso with Retrospeck, as Retrospeck has Femme-fi’s multidimensional shimmer, but is actually darker than my skin tone!
Ricepaper hands down!!!!!! I recently bought Naked Lunch and Shroom but I still reach for Ricepaper. It just looks amazing on tan skin 😀
Shroom 🙂
MAC Nylon
MAC Orb or Cargo Essential Eye Shadow Palette Warm/neutral white shade 😉
For all bright colors I prefer Electra frm mac and for all bronzie, browns & gold eyeshadows def femmi fi (limited ed) frm MAC also, temptalia’s fave! 🙂
Fyrinnae’s Polar Bear. Soft gold that goes with almost anything!
Shiseido Luminizing Satin Face Color in High Beam White
Blanc type or tissueweight
MAC Vanilla e/s
MAC Brule! I don’t know what I’d do without it!
My favourite highlight is MAC Shroom!
MAC pearl cream colour base..best brow & cheek highlighter!
Love this question! Always on the lookout for a fantastic brow highlighter. At the moment, I’m using MAC’s Vanilla pigment.
SAME HERE! i love femme-fi i wish i had more than one backup):
MAC Blanc Type 🙂
shu uemura eye light pencil. Comes with two ends, matte and pearl. While the pearl one is great for inner eye corner and waterline, the matte one works perfectly on eyebrows.
MAC Brule!
nyx milk jumbo pencil for matte or cottage cheese for shimmer
Shroom or Grain!
MAC Vanilla eyeshadow – it’s close to my skin tone and it’s not shimmery.
I would say MAC brule for natural day look and shroom for more dramatic look
Mac Phloof!
Same for me! Or Seedy Pearl if I am doing something more in the purple end
Nanogold
I love the Funky Fresh’s pigment Vanilla, it’s a dirty white and it’s perfect for the brow’s area 😀
MAC Vanilla or Blanc type, with a little bit of Shroom patted on top, the combo provides a nice sheen without too much shimmer.
MAC Vanilla & Ricepaper. Sometimes Cream Color Base in Pearl
A nice really matte highlighter is from MUD (makeup designory) called Lemon Cream Highlight (you can see it here! http://shop.mudshop.com/cheek-color)
It’s sold with the blushes, but I use it for everything on the face that needs a matte highlight with no shimmer – under eyes, brow bone, to contour… you get the idea!
MAC vanilla pigment!
Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow “Bone” or MAC eyeshadow “Dazzlelight”
I use BB Bone also!
Everyday Minerals Pearl Beige!
Benefit’s EyeBright! Doubles as an eye brightener and brow bone highlighter. I haven’t tried their actual brow highlighter pencil (highBrow, I think) because I already had eyeBright and find that it works great for the brow 🙂
mac shroom 🙂
Ricepaper!
MAC Blanc Type
MAC vanilla e/s
It must be MAC Shroom!
NARS Abyssinia! Love this shadow!
It’s MAC Shroom (my skin is very fair).
I love Christopher Drummond Pele. I buy the try me pots and use on brow and top of cheek bones. Amazing product, not too shiny suits any skin tone.
mac dazzlelight! 🙂
White wheat from the Inventive Eyes Quad from the Naturally Eccentric collection 2005. I use it sparingly because I have never found a dupe and this and twillery from the quad are AMAZING. I wish MAC would repromote
Mac Vanilla Pigment
same here, I use femme-fi with almost everything, I love it
It used to be Femme Fi but now I prefer Brule or Nanogold 🙂
Mac Shroom.
Mylar, but everyone else seems to think it’s too chalky 🙁 I was at a CCO looking for it the other day but they didn’t have it so I got chamomile, finding it a bit yellow for my nc15 – nw20 (summer) skin at the moment. Perhaps a few more days in the sun and it’ll work better. 🙂 xxx
MAC Shroom
MAC Vanilla is my standard. Its Mac Naked Lunch for softer highlights, though its not a very noticable highlight. Hooray for being very pale!
RICE PAPER BY MAC
MAC’s Mylar eye shadow
Goldbit. I’m going to be really sad when I have no more back-ups.
benefit eyebright!
I love Nars Albatros, but if i dont want any shimmer at all, then I use Benefit high brow!
Blanc type
Too Faced Glamorous Life – now Disc – from the Coutur collection, pale yellow gold with an awesome texture like a veluxe pearle. I think I have still have one more spare! This is actually the only Too Faced shadow I wear.
i really just love MAC’s strobe cream. i forgot about it then re-fell in love!
Shroom or whatever the permanent equivalent of Creme Royale is, I can’t think of the name right now…
Mac ricepaper!
Currently it’s MAC naked pigment, but i also like Ricepaper and Vanilla pigment.
for Matte finish- Brule
For shimmery finish – Solar white
I would have to say either Mac’s Vanilla or Chamomile.
I switch between Ricepaper & Femme-Fi. (I’m a NC42)
Chanel’s ivory <3 <3
mac pin curl from love lace or too fced absolutely invisible candlelight powder
MAC Ricepaper Eyeshadow hands down
Mac blanc type
If I’m wearing eye makeup, then MAC Shore Leave. If I’m not wearing much makeup and just want something to help my eyebrows look great, then Benefit High Beam.
MAC Femme-Fi or Arena
Benefit High Beam
I like Brule for a very subtle highlight, but if I want something more dramatic, I go for Missy from the Sephora Kat Von D True Love palette, which is a white with subtle purple pearl.
Shroom
MAC’s Forgery is my fave.
Shroom, but that’s because it’s the only one I have!
Nars Bombshell
MAC Shroom and NYX Highlight.
MAC Ricepaper 🙂
I usually reach for a matte highlight and I found that the perfect one is beige from sallygirl brand eyeshadow. Its only one dollar and its smooth and blends out colors lovely. I recommend it to everyone. Its sold at Sally Beauty Supply.
Lancome Baby Pink
NYX Highlight and NYX Vanilla Sky.
MAC Shroom & Brule!
Blanc Type!
Bare Minerals (Bare Escentuals) Vanilla Sugar or MAC Blanc Type (depending if I want a sheen or want it matte)
creme de miel………. i must find some more.. hopefully they have some when I go to the CCO in 3 weeks..
MAC Hush Cream Colour Base
I like either Kitten by Stila or Ricepaper. 🙂
MAD Shroom or NYX Nude.
MAC’s Phloof
I haven’t found one I really like yet. I would love to try femme-fi, has anyone heard if Mac is going to re-promote it in any of their up coming collections?
MAC Shroom. I used to use MAC Light Ray but I broke it. Waaahhhh!!!
MAC Mylar or Blanc Type
Ricepaper by MAC or Filigree(shimmer) or Latte (matte) from Lancome
shroom and ricepaper, can’t pick one.
MAC Ricepaper for sure.
Concealer.
vanilla and nylon
I have one from ELF that I like it’s like a light shimmery neutral color but I can’t remember what its called…
MAC Ricepaper is a no-brainer/mistake-proof for me.
MAC Vanilla when I need something more matte.
MAC’s vellum… i know its an odd one, but i do odd makeup!
Shroom 🙂
I rotate between Shroom, Phloof!, Vanilla, and Blanc Type depending on the look.
MAC Frozen White Pigment or Pink Opal Pigment ! ! !
Tarte’s shimmering buff
Chanel vanilla
Satin: Mylar
Matte: Gesso
Shimmery: Crystal Avalanche or Shroom
For me, it depends on what I’m wearing on my eyes, but my favourites are all MAC eyeshadows: Nanogold, Phloof, Vanilla, Brule, Orb, Rice Paper, Shroom and Nylon.
Prestige eyeshadow in Angel! Shimmery pale nude!
phloof! by mac.
MAC Next to Nothing, the lightest shade from the Tempting quad.
MAC Shroom or Phloof!
For daily looks I go to MAC Ricepaper…for weekend ‘street walker’ ha! looks I go to MAC Vanilla.
Matte: MAC Brule or NYX Highlight
Shimmer: MAC Shroom
mac rice paper, dior ultra smooth high impact eyeshadow in crystal white
same for me!
