EOTD - Neutral Blues

I love a neutral eye and I love my neutral eyeshdaow palette(s). One of my favourite neutral eyeshadows is MAC Soft Brown (unfortunately now discontinued). I don't have a lot of lid space and find that using this as my main lid shade opens my eyes up and makes them look bigger.

I also add my crease colour just above my crease as I have hooded lids. This again, opens my eyes up much more and allows the crease colour to be seen, instead of being swallowed by my non-existant eyelids!

I'm also a fan of jazzing up a neutral eye with a coloured eyeliner. Here's a quick look I wear quite a lot.



MAC Soft Brown all over the lid
MAC Swiss Chocolate in the crease

BLEND!!

MAC Navy Stain on lower lid
YSL Faux Cils mascara

VOILA!!

A five minute look

Gorgeous neutral look!
My favourite neutral eyeshadows are all by The Body Shop.. Granite (04), Burnished Brown (05) and Chocolate (32). One day I will venture into the world of neutrals by MAC, no doubt! :)

I like the way you've made your own lid shape :)

Shame that the shadow is d/c'ed, it looks like a really good match for my eyelids.

preety! I didn't know that soft brown had been discontinued!! I'd have to cross that one out from my wish list :(
Got any dupes I could get instead?

Beautiful! My fave neutrals are Modest Tone, Teté a Tint and Brun from MAC, and ChiChi Eye Dust in Centrefold - a lovely, sparkly beige. XO

This is pretty :) the blue liner also serves to make your eyes appear whiter!

Wow, I am totally loving this look! Blue eyeliner in the water line is a great idea to give a bit of colour to a neutral look. Some of my fave neutrals are Patina and Satin Taupe. :)

This look suits you perfectly, the brown/neutral - blue combination is classic! :)

I agree about crease application (another one with hooded lids), ah, guess we 're not all that lucky to be born with perfect TiffanyD lidspace...! :)
