Please suggest nonshimmery neutrals for a MAC quad

[Purrceys]

Hi all, I'm putting together a nonshimmery nonfrosty quad of neutrals (for conservative occasions). What shadows would you suggest? I'm a NW15.

 

[summerblue]

Some of these may dc'd, but here goes:
Seedling
Omega
Cork
Wedge
Era
Grain
Smoke & Diamonds
Ochre Style

 

[User38]

Yogurt, Kid, Blackberry, Shadowy Lady, -- all neutral mattes and in the neutral/burgundy family.. neutral does not have to mean brown!

 

[Temptasia]

My MAC neutral quad:
Vanilla
Wedge
Carbon
Expresso

If you want a better deal and par quality, I highly recommend CARGO's Essential Eyeshadow Palettes! They are sold at Murale in Canada. No longer at Sephora though.

It's also awesome because it takes out the guess work out for you. Just pick a palette according to your coloring...and they'll have shades that coordinate.

Are you looking for MAC specifically or any brand?

My favorite matte/matte2 neutrals from the perm line:

Blanc Type
Bisque
Wedge
Handwritten
Quarry
Copperplate
Typographic

Some lean more cool and others on the warm side. I have 2 matte neutral quads (one warm, one cool) and they go with everything. Super handy when you need a toned down eye for whatever reason.

my go-to matte neutrals are

blanc type
bamboo (or tete a tint)
wedge
corduroy (or espresso)

My favorite MAC matte neutrals are Copperplate, Brown Down, and Malt.

copperplate, cork and shroom are some of my faves for a non shimmery look

Im N15 also, I second this colour selection -except i have tete-a-tint and espresso.

I'm an NC 15/20 (probably getting closer to NC20, seem to be getting sun these days!), and I like:

Vanilla
Soft Brown
Cork
Handwritten

 

[iluvmac]

My perfect quad:
-Vanilla or Grain (highlighter)
-Tete-a-Tint (lid colour)
-Cork (crease)
-Swiss Chocolate (deepening outer corner)

I can't believe I nearly forgot French Grey, which is lovely, IF you can find it!
It's technically a Satin, I think, but the shimmer is negligible.
If you can't find French Grey, or really want no shimmer at all, Copperplate would be a good option.

Blanc Type/ Quarry/ Copperplate/ Typographic

Very conservative, but very classy combination of neutrals in the grey family.

 

[Meisje]

I have Blanc Type and Omega and they're wonderful. That's not four, but it's the two I have that apply

 

[xmakeupfanaticx]

I really like Era all over the lid with Cork or Brown Down in the crease and maybe Embark in the outer corner. I usually use Vanilla to highlight. I'm about NC15.

 

[Stephy171]

blanc type
soft brown
sketch (its a velvet) but i think its really great for neutral looks
carbon
**if u dont like sketch i'd do expresso!
my go to neutral look

HTH hun

This sounds very pretty! I have all except Kid. Great combo for traveling.
