I'm about NC 30, strong yellow undertones, with a little bit dark brown eyelid, dark eyes, dark hair. Which one will suit me best above those 3? Heeellllppppp....
Thanks!

What do you want to use it as (a highlight colour? A one colour wash)?
I don't know what NC30 is, but you can see my colouring from my profile pic, and I would use highbeam as a gorgeous goldy neutral sort of highlight colour, or inner half colour, and purr and nekkid are quite peachy, and I would use both as a lid colour/one colour wash.

Highbeam is sparkly (glittery?) gold. If we played a game of "one of these is not like the other," Highbeam would be the oddball. Purr and Nekkid are very similar and your choice depends on if you prefer something pinky or peachy on your eyelids.

Let's try some comparison swatches!

Hmm, those aren't accurate comparisons. Let's see side-by-side comparisons of Nekkid and Purr from zeebs
here:
Purr is a clone of Stila's Kitten. The two bloggers below are roughly MAC NC30 and have swatched Stila's Kitten:

Temptalia should have swatches of Stila's Kitten and MAC's Naked Lunch, but Christine is lighter than MAC NC30.
