Naked Lunch by MAC…my go-to color for everyday.
MAC Yogurt – my favorite highlighter!
LM’s Morning Dew – every day as a wash.
Urban Decay’s X. I used all over the lid when i’m feeling lazy.
There’s nothing so far that I’ve used enough in the 1+ year I’ve been very into makeup to run out. However, UD Fishnet hit pan in the middle now of my deluxe shadow box. I’m thinking about switching to Ben Nye’s Cosmic Violet or MAC’s Stars N’ Rocket instead due to price when I do run out.
Saddle & Nocturnelle only because I blend out other colors with them, so I buy more often then any other colors, and sumptuous olive comes in third because greens are my favorites.
Orb and Frisco! I use them to blend all eyeshadows and for browbone when I don’t want highlith too much for a very natural effect 😉
I run out of MAC Blanc Type constantly. I could use up a whole pan in a month. Its my absolute favorite highlighter.
I have only finished on shadow ever Mac bronze its my everyday wear to work color
MAC’s Dazzlelight…my favorite highlighter, almost to the pan and about to get another one next week…
Mac Goldmine and Vanilla
I haven’t “used up” any eyeshadow yet.
But the biggest dent I’ve made is in my “Da Bling” eyeshadow by MAC, just because it’s wearable for everyday but still adds colour and you can always make it more dramatic if you wish! It was one of my very first eyeshadows too and a definite favourite.
Oh wait! I’ve used Dazzlelight (hit pan) more than DaBling, although it shattered and I had to re-press it so I did lose some in the process!
It’s my favourite shimmer highlighter!
My Dazzlelight shattered too–all over the floor at work ! Maybe the color itself is prone to it.
next to nothing eyeshadow from the cult of cherry temping quad.
it is my brow highlighter and i just hit pan on it. 😉
I love that shade!
the only one I’ve actually run out of was stars n rockets
MAC Brule & Shroom – I mix them together to make the perfect ‘not too frosty nor too matte’ shade for my brow bones, inner corners, and lids
I do this alot too 🙂 I think they should actually made that shade… and call it Shrule or Broom! haha
I go through my Blistex DCT like mad. I always put it on before lipsticks and lip glosses. It’s my HG for sure.
Mac’s Cork!
Bobbi Brown Blonde…I use it for brows as well as for shadow. It is a very flattering neutral shade.
I have never run out of any eyeshadow and it doesn’t even look like I ever will. 🙂
Same here – if all the cosmetic companies went on strike, I’d be good til the next millenium.
MAC Phloof! 🙂
I’ve only had to repurchase shroom and phloof. I broke knight divine, but I still have some crumbs left, so that is the next one.
Colors like Blanc Type or Vanilla that I use as a highlight
MAC Naked Lunch and Quarry-they are so versatile I use them all the time.
I have never run out of eyeshadow yet. I am still very new to purchasing makeup on a regular basis. Also, I don’t wear much makeup during the week, only on weekends and when I go out.
I have hit pan on NYX Highlight which I use as a highlight. I like it much better than my MAC Ricepaper. Just very natural on me.
i run out of naked lunch. i love that eyeshadow!
dazzlelight – its my favourite highlighter for cheeks, under brows and inner corner of eye, as well as all over the lid for a neutral shimmer that suits pretty much EVERY skintone! I used it on two friends tonight for a bday party!
MYLAR and KID.I love them!
MAC Ricepaper.
Shroom, and then Satin Taupe. I use shroom as a highlight or lid color almost every day.
lol, those are the two i find my self running out off too.
I absolutely blow through MAC Dazzlelight and Bisque. The same thing seems to be happening with my Satin Taupe shade that I got for Christmas.
Definetly Sellout by Urban Decay- its the perfect highlight e/s for my skin tone
MAC Satin Taupe
Brulé, because it´s my HG highlighter
MAC SHROOM E/S…i used only for brow highlight.
used? use it.
its the only e/s that hit pan. it gives me the most natural highlight…
I guess I don’t wear the same color often enough for it to run out, and my brows are already nice and full (thank god)! I run out of eyeliner all the time though, I wear it everyday!
Shroom. I go through this so fast as a highlight, lid, tear duct color.
BB Shell and Mac Honesty. I have gone through about 3 shells, and two honesty…
MAC Coquette, because I use it for brows and as a crease color. This murky green-brown matte color doesn’t get enough love! 🙂
I am with you on that–and it applies like a dream ! Coquette is such a gorgeous neutral sophistocated color. I like to wear it with Nylon (or vanilla pig) on the inner half of lid, Coquette on outer half and crease, and BE’s Foliage glimpse in the deep crease. Wow, now this is a beautiful look.
I always run out of mac gorgeous gold, or goldmine first :o)
I can’t say I’ve run completely out of an e/s, but there are definitely ones that I use most frequently. I would say Sable, Satin Taupe, and All That Glitters are the ones I use the most and would run out of the fastest.
I’ve run out of Carbon, Ricepaper and Nylon. 🙂
satin taupe. pure sexiness
I haven’t run out of a Mac shadow yet. But it looks like the first to go will be either Satin Taupe or Shroom.
Must be MAC´s Shroom, my every day highlighter.
I’ve never actually run out of an eyeshadow before, but I’m so close to finishing my Estee Lauders ivory box, and I hit pan on my Stila Kitten last night
For me it’s MAC’s Pink Freeze e/s. I find it looks really pretty packed on the lid, or as a frosty highlight!
urban decay deluxe shadow in scratch. it’s a gorgeous pink that brightens my eyes, and it has shimmer, which i love.
All that glitters and Texture. They are my go to eyeshadows for work!
Urban Decay “Shattered”. It’s light enough that I can use it under the brow or in the inner corners, but pigmented enough that it can be worn alone.
The only one I have actually run out of is MAC’s Jest!
I have made a considerable dent in Dazzlelight and Shroom.
MAC Naked Lunch
MAC Shroom
MAC Mulch
I actually have never hit pan on an eyeshadow yet… I guess MAC Style Snob since i use it all over da lid for my makeup look… its about to hit pan tho 🙂
Non! I have a lot! LOL! But I think the only one I have actually finished is Mulch and Patina is almost hitting pan.
MAC´s Patina. I use it every day.
I’m on my 3rd pan of Patina! Love it
Macs CLUB – impossible to live without!!!
MAC Antiqued, my go-to eyeshadow! Became my #1 after needing a replacement for Earthly Delight (I wish MAC would bring this one back!)
MAC shroom, satin taupe and swish
just discoverd stars n rockets love it
MAC Orb & Blanc Type!
I guess it would have to be Embark. I use this just about everyday to deep my crease area. I can see pan and I will be order more in the upcoming weeks. I am also inlove with Hepcat and Beautiful Irs.
MAC Femme Fi, Brule, and Cork (well, I replaced Cork because it broke…)
never ran out of an e/s before but i use mac bronze almost everyday !
Same I ran out of Bronze and dazzlelight at the same time, the 2 were good together.
MACs Cork & Vanilla
MAC Mulch – I use it to blend and soften up crazy bright colors every day.
I am going through Blanc Type like a mad woman!
Mac’s Shroom & Dazzlelight they’re my normal highlighters..
any highlighter color! it’s always the first to go.
I hit pan on MAC’s Vapour very soon after I bought it…however, I still am not completely out; but, it will be the first shadow I will need to replace.
MAC’s Blanc Type most definetly…such an amazing highlight to erase mistakes and it’s so creamy for a matte shadow!
MAC Bronzing Powder in Golden and MAC Espresso for my eyebrows too. They are a must have in my daily make-up routine.
MAC Satin Taupe and Naked Lunch, I love combining these for a slightly smoky day time look, and they’re easy to play up for a night look too!
MAC naked lunch and all that glitters
I haven’t hit the pan for anything just yet… and i don’t think i would be anytime soon either. But Shroom, Satin Taupe and Carbon are the ones that i use the most.
Carbon!!!! satin taupe and tempting by mac are also usually down to the pan on a regular basis
Without any hesitation: shroom from MAC, I hit the pan of 3 of them already!
Bamboo!!
The only color I’ve ever used all of is Ricepaper. It’s my fav brow highlight & sometimes I use it in the inner corner of my eyes to make them pop when I’m wearing just liner or neutral makeup. I’m on my 3rd pan in 1 yr. Lol
mac brule and nylon
Carbon by MAC…
HAHA – espresso for me too. It’s my brow color as well =)
I notice that I’m putting a deep dent into my Soba – everyday crease color!
Shroom and Cork (which i forgot to replace)
MAC Ricepaper is the only one I’ve ever had to repurchase but Bronze,Goldmine, and Saddle are getting close….
Mac Vanilla e/s- My favorite highlight
and Crystal Avalanche
MAC Ricepaper and/or Phloof
Sadly, the only color I’ve ever completely used up is MAC Goldbit… the ever-sought-after cult highlighter that they haven’t repromoted in ages! I ADORE it!
I’ve gotten to the pan on several though: Shale, Motif, Satin Taupe, Paradisco, and Tempting.
Does anyone no a good substitute for Goldbit? I’ve been looking forever, but no matches so far.
Mac blanc type.
MAC Jest. I use it as my all over base/highlighter on a (almost)daily basis.
Run out? Nothing yet. I have waaayyy to many eyeshadows.
MAC- All That Glitters
