Eye shadow recs?

[kchalbi]

I have light olive skin-fairly pale, black hair, hazel eyes. I usually stick with neutrals and recently ordered luxe, but found it pretty orangey on me! So now I'm looking at Earth, Aztec, or Tailfeather for a neutral light crease. My all-time favorite shadow is MAC Patina. Are any of these close? Which would you recommend? Thanks!

2nd question-are these shades too similar to need all of them? Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

I am not familiar with Patina. But from the swatches online, I think Chic is pretty close. It is a golden tan color in the mid brown range.

For the colors you mentioned, both Aztecand Earth will not have the shimmery texture of MAC. However, they are both quite unique in texture. Aztec is what I would call a semishimmer. It is part matte and part shimmer. Earth is also of a similar texture, but it has more layers of color and leans more matte than Aztec. I also feel that Earth is slightly more neutral of a brown, but definitely the more complex of the two. Tailfeather is a light golden cream and will pair nicely with any of the other three.
