A MAC store is a heaven for a make up addict like me. But with over 150 eyeshadows to choose from, not to mention the limited edition ones, choosing eyeshadows especially for newbies can be a trepidating task. I have compiled my top 15 eyeshadows so that it can serve as a guide if anyone is interested in building their own palettes. Picking only 15 is so difficult because there are so many gorgeous colors and I want to include all of them. I tried my very best to make it a variety of colors from highlighters to neutrals and to blues and greens. My list has some matte and shimmery finishes as well. All of these shadows have buttery texture, very easy to blend and have very good pigmentation. I hope you enjoy it!
1st row L-R: Blanc type, Phloof, Ricepaper, Gorgeous Gold, Goldmine
2nd row L-R: Silver Ring, Nehru, Black Tied, Woodwinked, Satin Taupe
3rd row L-R: Expensive Pink, Cranberry, Beautiful Iris, Humid, Freshwater
1) blanc type- a matte, very light beige color. it's great as a highlighter for a very dramatic look or an all-over lid color for a neutral look.
2) phloof- is a frost color with a bit of brownish and pinkish tinge to it. it's a gorgeous highlighter. it's also great as a lid color, i also love, LOOOOVVVVEEEE it as a highlighter on the inner corner of the eyes. It opens up the eyes instantly.
3) ricepaper-is a beautiful light shimmery peachy gold shadow. It's a gorgeous lid color and a wonderful highlighter as well.
4) gorgeous gold-a very unique and pretty greenish gold shadow.
5) goldmine- a lovely pure gold shadow, think 24k:).
6) silver ring- a medium to dark silver shadow with a bit of shimmer.
7) nehru- a matte dark color, like a cross between black and gray.
8) black tied- a true black shadow with a bit of silver sparkle.
9) woodwinked- warm,red toned brown with a metallic shine.
10) satin taupe- a dark taupe with a hint of burgundy and a frosted finish.
11) expensive pink- a peachy gold color with just a tiny hint of pink.
12) cranberry- a berried red with a frost finish.
13) beautiful iris-a soft lilac with a tiny bit of shimmer.
14) humid- greenish khaki with golden shimmer.
15) freshwater- a bright summer blue with a nice silvery sheen.
These beautiful babies are available in MAC stores. Each eyeshadow refill retails for 68SR while a single eyeshadow pan costs 86SR. The 15 pan palette costs 83SR.
What's your favorite MAC eyeshadow? See ya! <3

Thank you so much Aisha!
gr8 work ! i really enjoyed you're writing style :)
Thanks sweety:) I'm glad you like it! What are your favorite Mac shades?
I need a it of help :) I noticed in your display pic that you've popped out the divider from your MAC pan & just placed the shadows together.So here's the question: My MAC pan is all full of the 15 shadows its supposed to hold but i have 6 more shadows which are just lying around in their covers....now if i pop out the divider & place all the shadows in there, wont it fall out if i open the cover or just tilt the pan or something ? Or is there a built-in magnet of some sort ? Your advice would really help :)
Oh btw, as for ur question, I looove Woodwinked(a muter version of baked from UD) ,Satin taupe, Cranberry & yes,Expensive pink! I love my matt neutrals (actually i hardly have ANY colors apart from the ones mentioned above :) My absolute favourites are Handwritten,Soft brown,Texture & Cork. :)
The entire base of the palette is magnetised Shazia so the pans won't get displaced even if there is an empty space around. And you can always replace the divider anytime so make sure to keep it safe in case you change your mind later. i was able to fit 26 pans which is really convenient. I love satin taupe too:) you seem to love browns:)) Some of the browns I have are tempting, mystery, patina and wedge.
