My Top Ten Everyday Eyeshadows

As you can see from the swatches above, I have a thing for browns and golds when it comes to eye shadows! Heres my favourites, in no particular order...

1. Maybelline Colour Tattoo – On and On Bronze

 Perfect for - Wearing alone or as a base.

This is my go to everyday eye shadow. Application is absolutely fool proof and the results are amazing. Read a full review on this eyeshadow [here]

2. Champagne from Sleek Storm Palette

Perfect for – Brightening the inner corner of the eye. Using in the tear duct area.

This is a beautiful shimmery champagne shade. It really brightens my eye area up and makes me look more ‘awake’.

3. Naked from Urban Decay Naked Palette.

Perfect for – Using as a base.

This was my every day base shade before I purchased the Maybelline Color Tattoo. It’s a tad darker than the skin on my lid so could be worn alone for a super simple, understated everyday look but I find it works best as a base – it really holds the other shadows in place.

4. No.7 Starry Lights (Shade 69)

Perfect for – Using as a highlighter.

This ivory toned eye shadow with fine flecks of shimmer is super soft and makes the perfect brow bone hightlight! It could also be used to highlight the tops of your cheek bones – two products for the price of one! I really like to wear a tiny amount of this in my tear duct area too, just to brighten things up a bit.

5. Half Baked from Urban Decay Naked Palette.

Perfect for – Neutral every day looks.

Half Baked is without a doubt my favourite shade in the Naked palette. Its such a wearable shade and looks great alone or with similar toned eye shadows!

6. Barbara Daly ‘Twig’

 Perfect for – Adding extra shimmer to neutral/brown toned eye looks.

This is different to any other eye shadow that I have as it comes in a tube with a roller ball applicator. I love putting a little bit of this over my eyes when I am wearing a neutral look as it adds a bit of extra sparkle.

7.  Shade 1 – Pearl – MUA

Perfect for – Using as a highlighter along the brow bone and in the tear duct area.

This oyster/ivory shade is very similar to the No.7 Starry Lights and is also a great highlighter on the brow bone. It could also be used to highlight the tops of your cheek bones – two products for the price of one! I really like to wear a tiny amount of this in my tear duct area too, just to brighten things up a bit.

8. Gold from Sleek Storm Palette

Perfect for – People with blue eyes. Can be used all over the lid or to brighten the inner corner. Also looks great as an eyeliner.

This shimmery golden shade compliments my eye colour perfectly.  It emphasises the blue of my eyes and makes them ‘pop’. I like to run a little under my lash line to add an extra bit of shimmer and make the look more intense.

9. Flesh from Sleek Ultra Matte Darks Palette

Perfect for – Wearing all over the lid, either alone or with a darker brown in the crease and outer corner to smoke things up.

When I first saw this shade in the palette I couldn’t imagine it being very flattering as its quite a peachy toned nude colour but I couldn’t have been more wrong! I love wearing this both alone and as a base for a neutral smoky eye. Its super wearable and has fast become one of my all time favourite shades!

10. Paper Bag from Sleek Ultra Matte Darks Palette

Perfect for –Wearing in the crease and outer corner, with a neutral base, for a simple everyday look.

I love using this together with the Flesh shade mentioned above. The two compliment each other perfectly and make for a simple yet effective everyday look.

So there you have it, my top ten everyday eyeshadows!

Hope you enjoyed :)
