I don't know what your skin color or eye color is, but this is what I do when I want natural but pretty, big, sparkly eyes

I use a shimmery, pale pink all over my lids. Then a neutral shade like a taupe ( I LOVE MAC Satin Taupe) in my crease blended in really really well. I use 224 brush. I usually wear a dark purple eyeliner on my top lashes and waterline (ex MAC fluidline in Macroviolet). I like purple liners because I have hazel eyes and it really brings out the green w/o looking too striking like a black liner would. I finish with a good coat of Zoomblack and voila!

NW20, dark brown hair, hazel eyes for reference.
Hope this helps!

for natural browns and taupes look great just applied and blended as that is the colors that light displays on skin

Like someone else said, it would be hard to recommend specific colors if we don't know your coloring. For me personally, I use Naked Lunch all over the lid, with some Satin Taupe blended into the crease, either a brown or plum/purple liner, and mascara.

A matte color would look even more natural. If you are fair skinned like me, something like Quarry would look very natural. If you are darker, you'd obviously need something darker.

I think the key for the "natural" look is to use colors that are close to your natural coloring and then blend, blend, blend. You don't want any harsh lines or bright colors.

HTH!

kashleigh80: what pale pink would you suggest?? Thanks!

The one I have right now is part of a quad from Lancome- it's called "Off The Rack". Any shimmery pink will look nice

I know that Naked Lunch from MAC is a similar color to the one I have. I plan on purchasing it when I run out!

A thin line of eyeliner will define your eyes without making it obvious you're wearing makeup. If you use a light hand and are lighter skin-toned, matte brown and matte creamy shades to blend will look natural. Also, mascara will make your eyes pop and look incredible without being obvious.

well in my opinion, it really dependes on your skin tone, eye colour, and hair.
i have black hair and chestnut eyes and my skin tonw is peachy.
i use light dark brown eyeliner (to match with my eyes), i never try to overdo anything, with pink eye shadow on my lids (matches with my skin tone), and baby blue glitters on the corners of my eyes (makes my eyes stand out a bit).
i only use a dab of foundation on my nose & cheek.
it`s natural, simple and fun to do.
