I would look at Hairpin, Fierce, Spoiler, Loaded, and Saddle Up. Maybe Luxe.
Spoiler, Hairpin, Loaded, and Luxe are on the swatch on this page.

Touring would be more golden than Sweet Tea, but probably about the same depth.
Loaded and Saddle Up are on this page, but the colors look a little lighter than they should.

Fierce is here, but it is pretty peachy. Heat is just slightly lighter than Legend.

Thanks so much for testing everything out! It is good to know these colors should work based on comparisons of/with the colors I own. Looks like I will be starting with Spoiler and Hairpin as those seem to be good copper and golden green choices. Then I can move down the list to acquire the others as a girl can never have too many options!

Well, the 3 colors I first mentioned, along with the following 2, are the ones I always grab as a no-brainer one lid color wash. So I think you won't regret it if you get any of them. Too bad Propinquity doesn't work as well on you. I rarely can wear pinks, especially when they're pale. I'd look totally ridiculous. But Propinquity worked very well on me because of its mauve base color.

I think Saddle Up or Loaded would look very pretty on you.

Hi, MBlovesSN
Spellbound and Dark Arts are nothing at all like each other. Basically it boils down to Spellbound being gold, and to me Dark Arts is Brown/green. Dark Arts is waaaaay darker than Spellbound, thats why I can't wear it except as a liner.
Spellbound is such a gorgeous shade but it is gotten absolutely no buzz at all on the board, and I just love it. In fact, it would be one of my 5 eyeshadows if I were stranded on a desert island.
I'm lousy at describing colors but I hope that helps!

I wonder why Spellboard gets no buzz?!? Also going on my must-buy list.

Update: So far, I have bought Hairpin and Spoiler. Love both colors. Perfect opacity and depth. I have been alternating them for the past week and a half!
Thanks for your thoughtful and knowledgeable responses!
