Neutral Eyeshadow colours

Hi Guys,

Im trying to put together a nice neautral eyeshadow palette that I can wear for work. I want some beige and browns that are either Matt, Satin,Veluxe or Velvet as I dont want anything thats shimmery or frost.
Im thinking maybe:
* Kid or Wedge

* Mulch?

Im not sure what else - any suggestions on what you guys have used that you like?

Vanilla
Behold
Bark
Steep

these are my most commonly used neutral tones

what about veluxe pearls? not too shimmery and they have some great neutral colors in that texture.

My favorite neutrals are:

Mulch
Vanilla
Woodwinked (<-- Veluxe Pearl)

I ADORE arena, its a kind of muted orangish beige? lol sorry I'm bad at describing the color, and I know its not really what you were asking for but its gorgeous.

Shroom is a satin, and the perfect beige in my opinion. Mulch is also amazing. Other good ones are soba, era, sable, and satin taupe

Well now its getting even harder to pick them hehe.

I have vanilla as a highlighter
Llama as a base
I want a light brown, medium brown and dark brown. I want two darkbrowns - one with a shimmer and one without. Im thinking of woodwinked and maybe Mulch.
Also i want something with a peach or a gold to it.

You might want to give Mink Pink a go, though it has more pink in it as its name suggests. It's so pretty and understated though, very glad I got this one.

Thanks martygreene for those suggestions...I'm really wanting to get Behold, but still unsure about Kid as I'm not sure if it'll suit me.

Kid didn't really work so well for me, neither did llama.

Behold is one of my staple colors- it works for brow filling for a very large range of haircolors, and works as a great crease color and liner color. Very pretty.

I love:

*Shroom
*Corduroy
*Era
*Mylar
*Wedge

I'd sugest Jest, Moth Brown, Yogurt and Trax.

Oh, and Satin Taupe.

Retrospeck
Honesty

Those are the closest to neutral that I have.

are Era and Soba similar to each other? i want a backup for Soba and want to try a different yet similar shade

i also wonder if the deciding factor should be the texture. Matte or Satin for you guys? thanks in advance!

add Malt to your list! Out of tons of eyeshadows I probably use it about 3x's/week. Very understated and pretty color.
Also like mspixieears suggested, Mink Pink is very nice and I consider it a neutral despite the hint of pink in it.

KJam · 03-16-2006, 04:39 PM #15 (**permalink**)

woodwinked is a must have

Jennifer Mcfly · 03-16-2006, 04:45 PM #16 (**permalink**)

I absolutely love Arena (as someone else suggested) and Era...and Mulch and Sable for dark browns. Ricepaper is pretty too.

kare31 · 03-16-2006, 04:50 PM #17 (**permalink**)

My neutral and non-shimmery staples:

Orb (satin)
Malt (matte)
Mylar (satin)
Vanilla (velvet)
Cork (satin)
Brun (satin)
Behold (veluxe)

era is softer than soba and not so gold, really pretty and neutral
