Bare Boned: Finding your Natural Lid

If you know me you'll know I'm not about the heavy makeup. I think dramatic eye shadow can look a little overwhelming, but I've always liked a little contrast on the lid.

In high school I used to use my sisters foundation as my shadow (she's a lot tanner than I am). I was looking for the perfect product for this look ever since. I like to use a creme shadow as a base if I am going to wear eye shadow, and if not, it is a pretty and natural look to the lid. This product list is from lighter to darker skin tones.

EYE BASE.

NYX eyeshadow in 'I Have a Headache' $5

Although this isn't a creme this is a really pretty shadow that brightens the eye.

Becca Eye Tint in Opal $24

All of BECCA's products are super pigmented and rich formulas, this is a perfect base for shadow.

Perricone MD No Eyeshadow Eyeshadow $35

Perfect bare bone color.

M.A.C. Paints in Sublime Nature $22

This is what I use for a night look, or when I'm going out. It's a perfect shade for my skin tone.

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow in Malted $26

All of Bobbi Brown's creme shadows are so pretty

*Last Tip*

You can always go with your favorite concealer and buy it a couple shades darker than your normal shade. My favorites are the Nars Creamy Concealer and Benefit Erase Paste.
