Question MAC Color Combos

I hope this is fun and helpful. I have a few shadows that I love to wear but I always wear them with the same 2 colors and want to get more use out of them, or shadows I'm not sure what to wear with. So I will post a few colors and you guys can post what is your favorite way to wear it (with what colors and where would be great)

Expensive Pink:
Antiqued:
Steamy:
Coppering:
Deep Truth:
Swimming:

I always wear Ex pink, coppering and Antiqued together so I'm trying to get other suggestions Thanks!

Re: MAC Color Combos

I like coppering w/ cranberry

i dont have the others (i know bad right)

but i want swimming, i think it would look good w/ freshwater and honey lust.
i love mixing neutrals w/ bright colors.

I use Swimming with Rule and Orange. Makes a nice eye-popper combo.

Re: MAC Color Combos

If you have the color Jest or something like it (a light lid color), apply it on the lid and use Swimming or Deep Truth on the crease and outer V. I did that on the June 7 FOTD if you want to see it.

Re: MAC Color Combos

I second Tempting...it is a lovely e/s! And Bronze is pretty much my fave satiny shimmer brown that we make, it goes with pretty much everything.
