Very Natural, Simple, Eyeshadow Look?

[summerxdreams]

hi everyone!

i'm new to eye makeup in general, and i don't like looking like i have makeup on...
would it be possible to do a natural, simple, clean eyeshadow look that wouldn't look like i had makeup on but would open up my eyes a bit?

i'm asian with a medium skin tone (i'm medium beige in lumiere mineral makeup)

thanks for your help!

i tend to lean toward that style of makeup too!
Try one that is close to your skinetone but with a bit of shimmer. And curl the lashes and put on mascara, that alone will work wonders!
Oh & I use ULTA shadows in "lustre" and "pearl" as a highlight on the browbone and jsut those two colors alone make a world of difference!

Sorry idk what colors in mac would be good im not very familiar with their colors. Good luck!

Thanks for your help

I don't have an ULTA anywhere near where I live, anyone have drugstore recommendations or MAC recommendations?

TIA!

I don't have any MAC or drugstore recs, but I use Too Faced Bon Bon or UD Midnight Cowboy on my whole lid with some mascara and gloss.

ohh yeah i agree w/ midnight cowboy.
As far as mac...im guessing retrospeck e/s would be really pretty. Oh and shimmersand shade stick is really pretty and natural looking. I would suggest just going to the mac counter if you can and just play around with some neutrals. If you want a really simple look maybe just get 2 colors to start with. One for all over the lid and a lighter one for the inner corner and as a highlight on the browbone.
HTH!

Orb on the lid with or without a bit of Juiced on the outer third, Malt in the crease, whatever you like to tightline the upper lashline.

Thanks for the help guys!

Is there any way to see what they look like (like... not in the pan, but on skin?) without going into the store and trying them on?

try going to the swatch thread or look through the fotds

When I want a very simple yet polished look, I often use either Naked Lunch or Jest e/s and neatly line my eyes as thinly and as close to my lashlines as possible. Curling lashes also does wonders.

era is a lovely medium brown which i often apply to the whole lid up to the eyebrow. its great for a polished look.

My easy daytime eyes - shroom as a wash, haux to the crease, and a bit of brun in the outer v and underneath. Line with dipdown f/l and apply mascara. Quick and easy, light but still has a bit of drama.
