I wear mostly shimmery eyeshadows because my makeup collection is filled with them. I even wear shimmery neutrals as a day look! So, I finally decided to build up my collection with toned down neutral matte colors. I don't look like I got attacked by a glob of glitter ball on my eyes anymore. =)
First Row: Kid, Wedge, Cork, Haux, Swiss Chocolate, Folie
Second Row: Espresso, Corduroy, Brown Down, Embark, Shadowy Lady
I use Kid, Wedge, or Cork as a transition color. They blend out dark eyeshadows and harsh lines beautifully.
I use Haux, Swiss Chocolate, or Folie for my crease when I want to create a neutral look, yet still looking sultry.
I apply Corduroy, Brown Down, or Embark for my outer v. If I wanted to spice it up just a little bit, I use Shadowy Lady, which is an amazing dark plummy purple.
I thought Espresso would have been too dark for my brows; however, when I applied it, it was the perfect shade.
Mac Eyeshadows in pan form cost $11.00 for 1.5 grams (some of the eyeshadows have 1.3 grams) and cost $16 in pots.
What eyeshadows do you use to create a smooth transition to you highlight color?

I am 55 and I am having the hardest time ,finding a COPPER or PENNY colored ,MATTE,shadow for my blue eys.I don't LOOK my age but I refuse to wear the metallics and shimmers.All they do is enhance WRINKLES! HELP!
ReplyDeleteI agree, those with mature skin should stay away from shimmery eyeshadows because they can make your lids look "scaley" and will definitely accentuate wrinkles.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the eye makeup to look natural on mature skin. Therefore, I recommend using a creamy beige color, such as Mac Brule, all over the lids and defining the crease with a matte brown shade, such as Mac Swiss Chocolate or Mac Espresso. These 3 Mac eyeshadows will complement blue eyes. =)
