what color as a base on the eyes ?

[Lotte]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a neutral light color to use as a base color and that I can pair up with browns, greens. Not too pink, not too shimmery because it's not a highlight.

Any suggestions in the eyeshadows ? Or is one of the paintpots a better option ?

Thx !

I think that if you need a neutral base colour then go for paints or paint pots. I suggest painterly paint pot or bare study.

You can try Paint in Bare Canvas. I use it as my base

i would go with a paint or paint pot as a base for the colors you want to wear. tan ray paint is very subtle and goes with every color imagined and doesnt disturb the original shadow color.

I love All That Glitters, but that one is shimmery, so I guess not of interest to you?

Painterly or Soft Ochre paintpots.

I said that because I have a quite shimmery light eyeshadow that I absolutely love, but when I put another color with it that's also shimmery, it's just a bit too much I think...I have bare study paintpot but it's kinda the same problem.

That's why I thought it would be a better idea to pick something non-shimmery...

Is there any color in the eyeshadows that would work as well ??

Bare canvas and Painterly..... Or UDPP is color less and works get. I usually UDPP and a paint pot or paint along with it.

 

[ladyJ]

I use bare canvas and UDPP.

Does painterly and bare study look like bare canvas?

Bare study isnt matte i think mac describes it as a [frost] on the website? Bare study is a subtle white-ish pearl(?) color, its not at all similar to bare canvas and painterly.

Painterly and bare canvas are mattes. Bare canvas looks very smiliar to soft ochre except not as yellow. Painterly has a pink undertone to it.

i always try to find a non shimmery base as well.. the few that works for me are orb and brule. Orb has a pink tone to it, and orb has a yellow tone to it.
sometime ill mix just a little bit of wedge just because Orb is a little too light.

I used to wear this one from a pallet that smashbox came out with a long time ago, its a light color with the subtlest shimmer in it.. but since its discontinued i replaced it with this color from laura mercier called stellar.

my favorite base is beige-ing shadestick

I am a C30 and Soft Ochre works perfectly for me.

I would say painterly paint pot would be a good option or bare canvas.

 

[dominichulinda]

Bare Canvas paint

 

[caffn8me]

I use Paint in Bare Canvas or shadow in Brule

 

[cipelica]

Paint pot - Painterly

 

[Lotte]

So I will get either Bare Canvas in Paint or Painterly in a Paintpot.

Thanks you guys !
