Shroom is fantastic....let me go look. I like to use purple and pink shades, they bring out the green in my eyes, and sometimes make them look more blue.
Ok, I have a lot of pinks, and purples.
Shroom
*Pink Freeze (Shimmery light pink- used as a highlighter)
Honey Lust (it''s a lustre, so it''s very sparkly gold)
Plummage (dark green/teal I use as eye liner)
*Trax (coppery-purpley)
Beautiful Iris (light shimmery purple)
Swish (brighter shimmery pink)
Carbon (matte black)
Mythology (pinkish copper)
*Sketch (dark purpley burgundy-also eye liner, unless I go dark)
*Malt (purpley beige neutral-matte)
*Nylon (shimmery vanilla yellow-as an accent/highlighter)
ETA: I would pick up a tube of their ''Canvas'' Paint. One of the makeup artists showed me that if you use that as a primer, and then put eye shadow over it, the color stays and is more vibrant. I love love love the stuff. It makes it last so much longer.
The ones with (*) are the ones I use the most.
ETA: Blue eyes, fair skin with pink undertones and light brown/dark blonde hair.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm looking at the colors on their website........I really like mulch and paradisco.
All that glitters - I can't tell, is that a pinky tone to it, or more of a beige?
With a hint of peach.Date: 11/23/2008 3:42:33 PM

I''m having a friend pick some up for me. She works at the mall where there is a mac counter and gets a nice discount. Plus I''m just too busy right now to go down there right now........Date: 11/23/2008 5:50:09 PM

Are you planning to go instore or buy online?
Just a heads up -> Paradisco is very orange. Are you okay with bold colors?
I''ll try just about anything as far as color goes. Some days I like just a neutral blend of beiges and browns. Other days I like to spice it up with crazy colors to match an outfit. But the colors I tend to wear most are whites/browns/pinks. But I don''t try to limit myself!Date: 11/23/2008 7:30:57 PM

I''m ok with bold. Sometimes. Hmmm......the paradisco looked more pinkpish/purple online. Sigh. Its always so hard to know. Just trial and error I guess. But that gets expensive after awhile.
Ya, I just need to try to make some time to go in. It sucks cuz I work crazy shifts. I go to work before the mall opens and often, until after its closed. Of course, I work right across the street from a mall, but they don''t have a mac counter there. That would just be too convienant!Date: 11/24/2008 9:17:48 AM

Paradisco is certainly orangey pink, no purple at all IRL. Honestly, their online color swatches are pretty bad...If you don''t go yourself I would expect to be making a bunch of returns.

I have so many of the colors suggested. But one that I cannnot live without is Club. I wear it as a liner during the day a lot, and I use it to do smokey eyes for night. It''s great bc it''s not like you put black all over your eyes... It''s got a this grey, blue, green, brown thing going on! It''s the best, I give it as a gift a lot and people rave about it!
Also, I have blue eyes too, and i love the navy eyeshadow as a liner, it really makes my eyes pop!
