Thanks to you both. I never did get to the MAC counter. I ended up going with a cream shadow from Smashbox. The guy that helped me (of course he was a gay makeup artist) loved their creams and talked me into it. It’s even waterproof – ‘cuz I’ll surely need that when classes start back up in September *rolleyes* I do love the color though. And yes, I fell for the stupid upcoming specially priced “set” and bought that too (I was intrigued by the blush…hate that I have to wait ’til the 17th to pick it up though).

I recommend "Naked Lunch" by MAC. It's neutral and pretty perfect for every day wear. bries last blog post..Swelling strings

There are three colors that I love love love for all day any day looks:

Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Eye Color in Gold (much more subtle than it sounds and really stays put once it dries- about 15 seconds)

Benefit Creaseless Cream shadow/liner in bunny hop – really subtle pinkish color for the no makeup makeup look.

For a really great base color that makes your eyes look like they’re young and fresh try mac eye shadow in Vanilla. I often use this as a base before putting on the creme shadows – makes them stay better and gives a more true color.

The best part about the creme colors is (while I always recommend using a brush) you can actually put them on with your fingers – one swipe and you’re out the door!
