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 :)
What are your favourite eyeshadows?
