Well, we just finished up with our eyebrows so it’s time to move on to eyeshadow application. I’m going to introduce some of my favorite eyeshadows to work with for myself and on others. In my opinion, these are some of the best.
Bobbi Brown’s Long Wear Cream Shadow’s are soft, smooth, and muted. They come in shades of matte and some with a bit of shimmer but, not much. Bobbi is well known for her toned-down look. Her shades are wearable and, as the name states, long-wearing. Cream shadows can be applied with fingers or brushes especially made for cream shadow application. Bobbi also has a powder shadow collection called “Shimmering Nudes Palette” which is one of those must-have palettes that will flatter all. Not all the shades are shimmer though. Some are matte and the darkest I like to use as an eyeliner either wet or dry. There are seven neutral shades contained in this palette.
Another cream based eyeshadow is “Hydro-Powder” Eye Shadow by Shiseido. These dry down from a cream to a powder. In the containers the shades look very bright but, actually go on more muted once applied to the skin (Dillards).
Probably one of my favorite powder eyeshadows to work with because of the variety of colors and pigmentation is Shu Uemura Single Eyeshadows that come in matte, pearl, or metallic finishes. The color range in this series is from the very lightest to brightest to darkest. If you’re looking for a magenta or bright kelly green, this is the one to go with. I love the metallic finishes(shuuemura.com or Bergdorff Goodman).
Another great powder shadow, also known for it’s “green” packaging and natural ingredients is Josie Maran’s single eye shadows. I especially love the ones containing a pearlized finish such as “Mist” and “Cinnamon”, which is my favorite of all. These are wonderful for their smooth application and softness(sephora.com).
If you prefer mineral-based products the Bare Escentuals Mineral Powder Eyeshadows are the way to go. Keep in mind these are loose powders, however they do come in a wide, and I mean “WIDE” variety of shades. These also come in matte, pearl, and highly metallic finishes(qvc.com, sephora.com, ulta.com).
