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!!

    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! 🙂

    Wowww that works so well, not ever really sure what to do with coloured eyeliner but I'm definitely going to give this a go! xo

    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. 🙂

    lovely look! I'm going to try this myself 🙂

    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…! 🙂
