Totally agree with texture (at least on me), saddle, tete a tint (dark apricot matte look), and for most of my nude days I used to use vanilla pigment but i bought a full size NAKED pigment and its sooooo perfect and pretty. At least buy a sample I doubt you will regret it.

[ClaireAvril]

Saddle is pretty close to mine.

[MAChostage]

Soba can work well also.

[QTAllStarGurl]

Saddle!

[brownsuga lady]

Mine are: Brown Down, Tete a Tint, Bamboo

[jo2syd]

I really like soba, and bamboom eye paint is nice too.

[zerin]

Bamboo eyeshadow works great for me!

[cutiebe2]

saddle works really well for me (NW 45) my lids are kinda dark so it evens out the color to match the rest of my face

[statusmode]

I'm thinking cork e/s?

[aziza]

When I do a neutral eye I usually prep with UDPP and an orange creme blush by Iman to counteract the darkness. And then I use Saddle! <3. I'm an NW45.

[1QTPie]

Saddle works for me. It's about as close as I can get.

[devin]

I use saddle, soba, texture, soft brown, cork, bamboo, bamboom paint, medium deep or dark msf natural, and c7 studio fix.

I really like using Tete-a-Tint and Rule; a lot of people question why I use Rule, and the reason is a genius one I learned at MUFE training: the salmon/orange tones brighten the eye area without looking orange. Once I blend in other colors, it still looks very neutral.

I agree, love tete-a-tint and rule. It looks so natural.

I am soooo going to try this with rule es. I already posted a comment saying I use tete a tint...this sounds awesome though.

I do too, I was surprised how much of a difference it makes.

[Shadowy Lady]

I actually don't have an e/s close to my eye lid colour I use Vanilla pigment to highlight. Does anyone have a suggestion for a colour close to my eye lid (I'm an NC30)

[MAChostage]

Everyone seems to love tete-a-tint, so why am I afraid of it? I don't even own it, it just never attracted me so I've never even swatched it. I think I'll give it a try.

have you tried brule, bisque or blanc type? Vanilla eyeshadow is nice too, it may be a bit lighter and orb is nice, it may be a bit pinker.

[Film_Noir]

Texture works for me.
