Hey, I was going to start my own mac palette and I kind of only have $40-$50 to spend right now, but can anyone recommend 3-4 good starter shades for my palette? I was thinking of shades I've previously owned and thought I should get: ricepaper, espresso, all that glitters, and soft brown. I have amber eyes, if that helps. opinions? sorry for making
this so long also ;-;

These colors are Cork and Tempting...I love them! I think they would complement your eyes! I also love All That Glitters for everyday, too.

You're getting the pro palette ones right? They're $10 so you can get 4 or 5 minus tax.
I'd say soft brown or bamboo as transitions
All that glitters or amber lights are nice lid shades
Swiss Chocolate or brown script are mattes in the reddish family.
Shroom is lovely on the brow bone too (:
