Mac Soft Brown Crease Color?

[Ms.Lulu]

I have been watching a lot of youtube videos lately and I notice that a lot of people use Mac's Soft brown eyeshadow to blend out harsh lines and I can tell it makes a huge difference! But, I am not sure if soft brown looks good with darker skintones. I am an nc40, is this color too light for me? What would be a better color for WOC or does this also work for us?

Thanks ladies!

Saddle tends to work very well for me. If I need to cool it off... then I blend it out with a teeny bit studied brown.

Saddle or Texture should work.

I'm NC45 and I use Soft brown for as well. I think it is close to a neutral color for me. It helps blend out lines beautifully. Try it!

Yes I think it will still work for you as I am an NC43 and it works for me. HTH!

Texture could work too.

You should be good with soft brown. Its too light for me at NW45/47

I've been wondering the same thing so thanks for the question. I guess I can get this shade too.

Both Soft Brown and Saddle have been discontinued. I had to track Saddle down. Both work great on me and I'm NC50.

I use Saddle and i am NC43. I think Soft Brow should work on you.

If you can, go to the counter and have a look at Saddle, Texture and Soft Brown and buy the one that suits you most. I think Texture is a bit dark on NC40, but just try it out.

i thought saddle was so popular. i need to get a pan for backup then

I use it and I'm NC 55. I also use it as a lid color sometimes with Embark in the crease. You should get it, it is really good for softening the lines with a smokey eye. I did a smokey eye with Knight Devine today and used Soft brown to soften the edges.

 

[Ms.Lulu]

Discontinued? NO!!!
I already have the color "espresso" and I tried that to soften the crease and it was too dark.
I need to track this color down!!
Thanks ladies!

I'm NW45... I use it for a highlight

 

[GlamQueen21]

I must get Saddle and Soft Brown e/s sometime since I've been looking for some good neutral eyeshadow colors.

wha?!!!

sigh oh well, i've also found that soba works well too and also i use laguna bronzer from NARS if its close by.

Just checked the site, Soft Brown is still available. For mid NC30ish I like bamboo. For high NC30s and NC40-42ish Tete a tint is great. I always reach for Soft brown and Im NC43

Neither are available in the UK - I bought Soft Brown when it was in the Goodbyes section and had to buy Saddle off Ebay. Both were discontinued last year. You guys are lucky they're still available to buy across the pond. I dunno why they're not available here anymore
