naive,
I don't mean to offend you, but since you say that you know nothing abt eye makeup, what's the use of investing so much into getting stuff like MAC?? I mean a MAC palette will obv cost you big bucks.. Why don't you start off with cheaper drug store brands.. some of them have pretty decent color give-outs, like say the L'oreal HIP ones. Try those and then once you think you're good enough at it and know what you want to get for yourself, then it's better to invest in higher-end makeup.
