It's hard to be a natural girl using Mac

On the MAC website, the face with Inventive Eyes incorporates Omega in the eyeshadow, I noticed while checking out what they've done with the different looks. I'm wearing colors in that quad today & they're anything but flashy, & are very neutral. I used a base of Naked pigment, which I LOVE, then some Artjam paint in the crease, then started applying colors from the quad. I lined with the dark one, but then used a Stubborn Brown PP liner & smudged a little.

At the website, go to the eyeshadows & do the "Sort By" and look at shades in the different categories separately. The Matte category, or maybe Satin, would be more natural looking than the frost, etc. You can get an idea there. I also have a Bobbi Brown neutral palette that I bought I think last winter that has really neutral tones, & it's good, but MAC really does have similar neutral stuff if you can get past the colors & frost & find them! *s* But every girl needs some of it all to be complete! You never know when you might need more color!

At least mine was 5 neutrals. They're nothing exciting tho, & I think it was like $40 or 45.

Would you believe I have never bought Shroom? I have it in a couple palettes tho, at least one. Thanks for pointing out the similarity. I've always loved Coquette and Concrete, and Mystery. And I always thought of myself as the queen of brown eyeshadows! *bows to the queen*
