What more neutrals should i get to complete myy palette??

[myystiqueen]

i know there is a 'if you have... then you don't need...' thread going... but i think it's a lot easier to just show you guys what i have...

i already have (neutrals) :
- sable
- mulch
- satin taupe
- embark
- antiqued
- beauty burst
- cork
- espresso
- woodwinked

i'm considering :
- handwritten
- folie
- soft brown
- saddle
- swiss chocolate
- tempting
- bronze
- brown down

i want to build more of myy neutrals palette (not including highlighter) and please rec me some staples.. thanks!!

Great choices already! My only rec would be all that glitters, its a staple in my makeup bag, one of the few I've had to replace. It's similar to woodwinked, but lighter. Makes a great wash, it completes the "barely did my makeup but I look great." look.

I'd say get Patina. I know it's not one of the colors you're considering but I love the way it makes the eye look absolutely gorgeous without adding any color (this sounds weird...

) ok how about this: It pops out the eye but you look as if you have no eyeshadow on, that it's your own natural skintone that compliments your eyes... (is this better?)

 

[ri0tdorque]

Great list! Ones that come to mind for you are...

Retrospeck and Jest I just recently added those two to my collection.

And soft brown is really nice I use it more often than I thought I would.

 

[ladyJ]

Wedge, tempting, and bronze are must haves IMO.

 

[SpringDancer]

All That Glitters, Jest, Amber Lights - must haves IMO.

 

[bellagloss]

Wedge
Honey Lust
All that Glitters
Ricepaper

 

[DirtyHarriet]

I'd also add Amber Lights. And I don't know if pinks count as neutrals, but I ALWAYS use them on brides. Malt, Girlie, colors like that.

And I'd add some lid colors like Era and Tete-a-Tint (although u can get by with Soft Brown instead of T-A-T for a liiiitle while -- especially if it's just for home use).

 

[myystiqueen]

^^ oh wow thank you.. that's really informative..

can i get away with all that glitters - bisque or kid as lid color?? as in for NC35...

 

[wifey806]

oh yeah for sure! Bisque on you would work for both lid OR a subtle highlight. Era would work for lid too!

I know everyone loves All That Glitters, but I don't own it. But it looks pretty when I see it in FOTDs...

 

[Kristal]

Patina
Wedge
Bisque
Romp
Girlie

 

[foxyqt]

you should definitely get Orb to go with Cork!

i also suggest:
- Ricepaper <3
- Broze
- All That Glitters
- Amber Lights

 

[VioletB]

You need saddle. I just got it not too long ago.. and oh MAN i love it.

Such a great color!!

 

[anshu7]

Era and Retrospeck

 

[XOXOThatGirl]

I use Soft Brown e/s or All That Glitters e/s almost daily. They really are great staples.

 

[amyzon]

Copperplate is one that at first glance you may not think of as a neutral but it's such a stunner as a crease color
Soft Brown is a must and just so lovely - you can use it in almost any look
Brule is a great wash for the lid and as a base for mattes and other neutrals
Shroom!
Glamour Check from Starflash collection if you can get your hands on it
Go, the same applies
Ricepaper DEF
Sketch I use consistently as a crease color!
Alternatively for Sketch, 100 Strokes from BBR is a bit more neutral!

Hope this helps!

 

[jh4200]

I know they're not on your list, but you need shroom and shale!

Patina, Amber Lights, Gold Mine, Folie, and Kid.
