Hi everyone!
I was wondering what some of your must have shades are? I only have GWP shadows for SN so far and I'd love to purchase some more. I have tons of browns/greens/highlighter shades so what are some other go-to favorites of yours? Thanks

)......where to start?!!!!! I hope you didn't think the answers in this thread would help make shopping any easier - it will just throw up even more ideas for shades you'd never considered........you'll end up with a cart full
I'm a light/medium skinned brunette with green eyes; I tend to prefer more natural looking shades, some of my personal favourites are
Bittersweet
Luxe
Tiger Lily
Sandstone
Buttercup
Solar
Journey
Destination
Cuddle
Mink
Velvet.

I know you already have lots of greens but for brown/green eyes I think Grassroots Green is a must. I've got green eyes and can't stop using it!
Resort should look beautiful also. It's lighter and a bit golden.
And Vanilla as a highlighter.
You should try the morphing colours also. Like Sprite or Groove.

Purrr. I have fair skin, dark brown hair, dark brown eyes. I love this color. It is a clone of Stila's Kitten shade, and looks exactly like it on. Love it!
Other suggestions:
Vineyard
Sandy
Satin
Fete
Sonic
These are the colors I wear the most, in different combinations. Purrr is my everyday, one-wash color. I also love Tailfeather (a gwp shade).

You have gotten great suggestions. One of my 'go tos' right now is Papyrus. And I agree about Purr or Sandy (not sure you need both...the first is more shimmery). Pop is also lovely.
