Neutral Eyeshadow Combinations
I usually like colourful and dramatic eye makeup (it always puts me in a good mood lol) but lately I've been wanting to learn how to do a natural look using neutral eyeshadow colours.

I'm obviously having a hard time with this. The only one that I like so far is woodwinked over the lid with tempting in the crease.

I'd really appreciate it if you guys could tell me some of your favorite eyeshadow combinations for a natural look.


Thank you!

Re: Neutral Eyeshadow Combinations
For a natural look I love going shimmery all over the lid and matte in the crease. I love just about any neutral color w/ Espresso e/s in the crease. Espresso is just the perfect brown that can be packed on for a more intense look or blended for the softest look. My fave combos are:

Naked Lunch all over lid w/ Espresso in crease
Ricepaper all over lid w/ Espresso in crease

The most natural look I ever do though is all matte w/ Brule all over the lid and Espresso in the crease.

HTH!

Re: Neutral Eyeshadow Combinations
I love to go matte or satin on the lid and sparkly in the crease, or I will go for matte with both. I love doing shroom on the lid with wedge in the crease, and one of my other favorites is woodwinked on the lid with mulch in the crease. HTH!

Re: Neutral Eyeshadow Combinations
I'm WOC but I like cork or soba on the lid with texture or saddle in the crease. I'm actually not a huge fan of espresso on me. Too dark for my taste. I bought soft brown this weekend so I will try that out this week.

Also, there was a girl on YT named Eily311 who did a nice pink neutral look. She used BN Sante Fe, Cork, Shroom. I don't have the Santa Fe, so I use Girlie, and it turns out nice.

HTH
