Must-have eyeshadow highlighting colors?
As an EDM refugee, my all-time favorite highlighters from "the dark side" were Baby Bath, Rare Silk, and Light Pink (technically a "face color," all they were ever good for as far as I am concerned is highlighting the eyes...), so I was wondering if there are any SN colors that are as close as possible to those 3? Also, as far as lid colors, I'm guessing Cyberton is pretty close to EDM's Cypress... yes/no?

I'm not sure what color Cypress is but from the descriptions, I would think Resort or Gargle Blaster are more what you're looking for?

I haven't worn them yet, but danny and gargle blaster look really close to cypress. Cypress is my all time favorite shadow as well. Danny is really creamy, I love the formula for the summer lovin' kit.

Papyrus is my favorite
It has a really nice almost frosted appearance..it isn't sparkly, i like that because I personally don't really like to have sparkles on my brow bone. But, the downside is, I think very fair people or very cool people can't wear this as easily.
As for the greens, you should try patina. Its much lighter than cypress (i think the recommendations people gave you for it are pretty good) but patina is also really really nice, and very wearable.

Everytime I get a new color I think everyone should get it. So right now, I say get Bone. I have Rare Silk and Bone is like it, but more neutral, Rare Silk comes off the tinest bit..grey or blue...on me. Bone doesn't, it's totally neutral.
I also think everyone should get the lipstick, Sultry, since I got it last week and can't stop wearing it.

Whisper is a beautiful highlighter if you like pink with sparkles - it's still a very delicate colour. Crush is another great cool pink, but more shimmery.
The morphs - Fire (copper), Opal (pink), and Gasp (lavender) are great.
For totally unobtrusive I like Boom - Bone on me looks way too matte, but Boom seems to fill the bill nicely even though I'm both cool-toned and pale. Sometimes I just go with a quick wash of Bare - a little dark (maybe) for a highlight, but a great wash, and it's not very dark at all.
We don't have Sandstone anymore, but I've ordered Velocity - Sandstone was actually a peachy colour I could wear, as is Highbeam, and I'm hoping Velocity will be the same.
If you're warm to neutral, then Nekkid would probably look really good on you, too, as would Purr.

I wore Nymph as a highlighter shade for New Years Eve and it looked fantastic. I would definitely recommend it.

Re: Must-have eyeshadow highlighting colors?
What would be a good highlighter for really fair skin? I tend to go for pure whites or creams, and I prefer pearl to shimmer/sparkle for highlighters, I have whipped cream from SN, but it is too shimmery to wear on the browbone for me. I would love something with a hint of something different, maybe gold, but it has to be pretty light because otherwise it will end up darker than my actual skin (I am so pasty, lol

Frenchie, Cream, maybe Sprite? Frenchie and Cream are satins. Sprite's got some gold in it. You could also check the new colours and see if anything looks like it suits - maybe Sonic, Silence, or Solar?
