That's a good idea, actually... I think I'll do that. I'm pretty sure there's a Clinique counter at the Macy's in town.
I took a look at the MAC website. There are some promising-looking things, along with a lot of colors that are either in the wrong color families for me or just too bright/dark (black eye shadow? I don't need to get my husband arrested for domestic abuse

) Well, if I have the opportunity I'll check them out... the nearest store to me is over an hour away, though.
Thanks
