I'm looking for a nice pink or peach shade to pair with a neutral e/s on brown eyes. I'm considering expensive pink or paradisco but they look pretty similar in the pan, what's the difference? I probably want to wear it on the lid/crease and I'd prefer a colour that looks more fresh/glowy than in-your-face bright pink - any non-MAC suggestions are welcome too! These are the pics I found of Exp Pink and Paradisco (from Janelle's gallery pic - D'Bohemia looks a bit like Paradisco, is it LE?):

Yes D'bohemia is LE. I haven't tried paradisco, but Expensive pink showed up more bronze/gold than pink on me
Thanks Erica Expensive Pink seems quite popular here on MUT and I know it's one of the Veluxe Pearls. I can't find swatches of the two to compare the texture/colours of each. If EP looks bronze/gold on then I'm guessing it's not a true pink and more of an off-pink
Expensive pink looks very gold on me... kind of like melon pigment. EP e/s is on the inner eye in this pic...

My favorite pink from MAC is Swish. Its a glowy frosty pink thats not in your face but still gorgeous. Swish is the first color I bought from MAC and still an absolute favorite
Hope you find what your looking for

paradisco is very different from expensive pink. ep is mor golden and paradisco is more like a peachy pink with much less shimmer. i prefer paradisco, i usually use it with samoa silk.
Frost finish is a pain to work with...If the colors are similar i would go with Veluxe Pearl, they're a dream to apply and blend.
I dont have any trouble working with mine or other frost finishes... people say matte is hard to blend too... but I dont have any problem with that either... meh
Well I have heard VP is great to work with... I dont have any with a finish like that yet... but well... good luck whatever you get

VP is very silky and smooth to apply and blend, it is also nicely pigmented... I haven't had problems working with any of the other MAC finishes but oh well.
