I LOVE Sumptuous Olive and Bright Sunshine.
So daytime and I can just intensify the Olive for night smokey look. My eyes are brown. Both from MAC.
Oh, that sounds like a really pretty look!
eyepopping, wondergrass and humid LOVE IT!
Gorgeous! Love green looks!
MAC Bare Study paint pot and By Jupiter mieralize e/s
Sounds lovely, Courtney!
I like Thunder with Rondelle by MAC
Love the combo!
Clinique eyeshadow duo in “coffee shop” its a dark brown with a little shimmer and a very light brown with a little shimmer with MAC Amber Lights. I love it because I found a black smokey eye is too much for my brown skin with yellow undertones. So this makes an awesome brown smokey eye.
Gonna have to look into this duo if both of you like this!
oohhhh… that’s really hard.
i love browns so i have to say the smoke signal quad, jupiter mineralized eyeshadow
i want to write more but i think this is my final answer hahhaha
lol! Sounds good to me!
Clinique’s eyeshadow duo in Coffee Shop is a PERFECT duo, I used it up (which is rare because I own so many shadows). A perfect shimmery taupe/gold for the work day.
My favorite look is a cranberry smoky eye. I use MAC’s Cranberry shadow with the matte black shadow from Lancome (I always forget what it’s called because Lancome has a matte black and a sparkly black). But yes, cranberry smoke is fun for me. That, or a navy smoky eye.
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever gone through an entire eyeshadow yet!
Cranberry makes an excellent smoky eye, I agree 🙂
I just realized Lauren and I had the same answer! Cool beans, Coffee Shop is a winner.
Haha 🙂 which means I must take at least a peak at this duo!
Mac Eyepoping & wondergrass.
Mac Steamy Surreal eyeshadow w/ Teal pigment.
Pretty green combo! Wondergrass is gorgeous.
Just some random ones off the top of my head… All MAC. 😛
-MAC Swimming + Humid.
-MAC Electric Eel + Bang on Blue + Deep Truth + Tilt + Shimmermoss + Vanilla.
-MAC Silverstroke f/l + Rondelle + Next to Nothing + Satin Taupe + Showstopper.
-MAC Teal p/m + Grape p/m.
-MAC Firespot + Cosmic + Goldmine + Gorgeous Gold.
-MAC Shimmermoss + Teal p/m + Tilt.

Wow, thanks for sharing all those fun combos, Skyler! Very creative 😉
WOW!!!!
just some off the top of your head….
really genius 😀
i have some good combos myself,but i am still working on it 😀
My favourite eye combo will be:
Painterly Paint Pot with Mercurial MES & Ether MES
Oh, I like the sound of that combo!
🙁 I am still on the search for the color combo that will make me “happy” haven’t found it…yet.
Aww, Tanya! You’ll find it, I know it!
I mostly use Hard Candy eyeshadow, and lately I’ve been into shimmery brown/bronze colors. Or my other favorite is MAC swish (shimmery pink). I used to be all about super bright colors, but they don’t look as good on me anymore:(
I’ll have to look into HC some more then 🙂
I used to be about brights, too! I’m not sure why I haven’t been reaching for them as much, though.
At the moment I really like Rondelle & Blue Storm together 🙂
Ohh, pretty, Lone!
I always use Bare Canvas Paint as a base with all my looks but here are my three go-to looks:
-Satin Taupe (on the entire lid) + Thunder (in the crease) + Dazzlelight (on the brow)
-Delft Paint Pot (on the entire lid) + Carbon (on & in the outer crease) + Vex (on the brow)
-Golder’s Green pigment (on the entire lid) + Newly Minted (over pigment) + Deep Truth (on & in the outer crease) + Dazzlelight (on the brow)
Those are lovely combinations! I think the last one sounds dreamy!
Two I like right now:
Shimmermoss and Beautiful Iris with Phloof as a highlight,
Phloof, Freshwater, Deep Truth, and Carbon for a royal blue smokey eye.
All colors by MAC
Nice combinations, Lisette! 🙂
My new favourite combo is Uppity Fluidline as a base with Family Silver MES over the top.. so light and pretty!
Ohh, that sounds lovely, Stacey!
