I love a good neutral eye shadow, be it as a single or in a palette. Bronzy browns and subtle nudes are what I reach out to most of the time, apart from the dark, smoky greens, greys and purples. A good neutral is a must have for any season and these are some of my favorite single eye shadows that are super easy and effortless to wear.
Burberry Sheer Eye Shadow in Midnight Brown ($29; us.burberry.com) - Probably my favorite of the bunch - its a gorgeous, rich brown with a good dose of finely milled shimmer.The shimmer doesn't show up being chunky and the color is something any neutral lover would absolutely love. Its also my most used brown eye shadow that looks amazing with just some kohl and mascara
Inglot AMC Pearl 406 ($6 for refill; inglotusa.com) - Inglot Eye Shadows are well raved about in the beauty blogoshpere and I can see why. Its priced well, is of great quality and the color selection is fabulous! Pearl 406 is a shimmery, golden brown that works for me as a lid color. There's hardly any fallout and it blends like a dream!
MAC Antiqued ($10 for refill; maccosmetics.com) - A Metallic Copper-y Bronze that is lovely as a sheer wash. Antiqued is not the mot pigmented, but the color is warm, beautiful and perfect for autumn!
Mally Beauty Ever Color Shadow Stick in Saddle Shimmer ($25; mallybeauty.com) - I was sent a sample of Mally's Evercolor Shadow Stick a while back and the color, Saddle Shimmer is right up my alley. The finish is a tad metallic, but absolutely stunning alone, or when paired with a matte brown on the crease. The formula is fantastic - it does not budge and needs a heavy duty, oil based remover to completely get off.
Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes in Fuller Fudge ($17; sephora.com) - Fuller Fudge is an everyday brown, very neutral, very subtle and nice as a shadow and liner. The only problem with the formula is how very powdery the finish looks, once the shadow sets, especially on drier lids. That said, the color is definitely nice and one of my favorites from the Chubby Stick range.
Swatches!
