I need advice! I have yet to purchase Mac eyeshadows and I was just wondering what I should get as an everyday neutral eye look? I'm looking for 2 colors that look good together (1 lid color and 1 crease color).
Whenever im at work I always show my customers woodwinked eyeshadow. This is my all time favorite shadow. It feels very creamy in the pan, which makes application really easy and it's a really pretty bronzy gold color. looks amazing on all skin types. For the crease I like to use either saddle or soft brown. both those colors are going to look amazing with woodwinked as well. If gold isnt your color, try soft brown and naked lunch :)
Vex (duo tone shade). It looks like gray crap in the pan, but lovely when swatched. The color swatches differently depending on your undertone. Shadowy Lady in the crease - deep plum. I have swatches on my blog.
All That Glitters, Dazzlelight, Naked Lunch & Woodwinked all carry some shimmery goodness or you could try something something like Brulé, Grain, Orb & Yogurt are a more subtle with less sheen.
Cork, Soft Brown, Wedge all make great crease colours. Something like Omega can work as well and then double up as a brow shade too.

Two neutral shadows I suggest are Phloof and All That Glitters. Both create a very bright-eyed effect and look great with any eye color.

Oh, and a great crease color is Copperplate. It creates great natural definition in the crease for someone who is fair skinned.
