Please help me find eyeshadows for soft smokey eye

[Machelpgirl]

I am interested in a nice everyday soft brown smokey look. My foundation colours are MUFE 178, MUFE 180 (I mostly use it around the outer parts of my face but it can be too red) MAC nw 50 and 55. I was thinking of the following combos: 1.Brule for the inner corner but it may be too light? Cork for the all over lid Soft brown in the middle lid Mystery for the outer V 2.Soft brown for inner lid Cork all over lid Mystery for outer V 3.Saddle for inner corner/transition Cork all over lid Burn or mystery for outer V I was also thinking of swiss chocolate or corduroy but not sure. I already have embark, espresso and wedge. I'm also buying rice paper since I hear it's perfect for highlighting brow bone. Would these combos suit my skin type? I want it to look natural as possible yet nice and as if I'm wearing eyeshadow. I don't know if cork would look good as an over all lid but it looks like it's close to my skin tone... Can you guys advise anything? I want it to look natural but really nice. I have a few shimmery shades from my UD palette but plan on buying woodwinked, bronze, carbon and other shades in the future.

Hello?!

I've read your post. I was just thinking. Also, please bear in mind that sometimes it takes a while for people to answer (because life, time zones, that sort of thing). Brun looks darker in the pan than Mystery, but they don't look much different when swatched side-by-side (at least not on my much-lighter skin). I think Embark is darker than both and may work better if you want something darker and more smoky. You could also try mixing colours together.

I have embark already. Im looking for a colour that suits my eyelid to use as an all over lid. Will cork work? If not any recommendations? Embark is not that dark I need something a little darker, would mystery or Brun be better for me? I have embark, espresso and wedge already. I would like more looks that are neutral and preferably matte. Are my options good if not anything like suggestions? Thank you.

I'm addicted to Haux lately. It's so beautiful for an everyday shade.

I think for your skintone, #2 is best option.
I am about MUFE 117 and find Brule a bit ambiguous because its not much of a highlighter, but is too bright to use as a base
