EVERYDAY EYESHADOWS

Most people tend to just keep their eyeshadow neutral for daytime (if anything at all, that is), and though I usually do something a bit more dramatic even in the daytime, there are times that I do go neutral and plainish. Here are a small roundup of some of my favourite everyday eyeshadows, ranging from drugstore to high end.

MAYBELLINE EYESTUDIO MONO EYESHADOW IN 610 SILKEN TAUPE
Boots.com | £4.09
This is a gorgeous taupe shade in a pearl finish (as so described my Maybelline) and it has a slight amount of shimmer to it, so it's not fully matte and boring. I would pair this with a brown or black eyeliner and mascara.

L'OREAL COLOUR APPEAL SOLO EYESHADOW IN 152 PLATINUM BEIGE
Boots.com | £5.99
This shadow from L'Oreal is ever so slightly gold, but more of a muted gold because it is very neutral. This also has a slight amount of shimmer to it too, more than the maybelline though, though it still is daytime appropriate and so is not super sparkly.

MAC EYESHADOW IN PATINA
Maccosmetics.co.uk | £10 (for the pro palette refill pan)
You know my love for Mac eyeshadows, I don't need to explain this one. "Patina" is described by Mac as "taupe brown with golden pearl". This is a great everyday eyeshadow paired with a brown liner, but can also be transformed for the evening too, with a brown shadow through the crease and outer corner and a black liner.

MAYBELLINE COLOUR TATTOO IN PERMANENT TAUPE
Boots.com | £4.99
Alike the Mac eyeshadow, you also know of my love for these. They are amazinggggggg. This (and the Pink-Gold shade) is really the only everyday colour that they do in the line, because the others are quite intense and bright. These are fantastic because they stay put all day long and don't budge. With this shade, you can create a really quick and easy smokey eye, by applying it lightly all over the lid, and then applying another layer, so it's more intense, to the outer corner of the eye.

URBAN DECAY NAKED BASICS 
Debenhams | £20
I've mentioned this before (HERE), but I absolutely love it!! It's perfect for two things: for an everyday eye (it's main purpose for this post), but also for combining with other eyeshadow palettes that just have a couple of colours (like my NARS eyeshadow duos). For a daytime look, I'll use the shade "Foxy" all over my lid, then using a small domed brush, I'll apply "Naked 2" and then "Faint" through my crease. Then I'll use "Venus" as an inner corner & brow highlight. Finish off by using a brown liner on the top lash line and a sweeping of mascara.
