The Best Natural Eyeshadows

I love playing with eyeshadow and had so much fun testing a variety of colors and products! Whether you love natural eye makeup or like to play with bold colors, I have recommendations and tips for the best natural eyeshadows for you.

Tips to Start Using Eyeshadow

If you’re new to eyeshadow I know it can be intimidating but it doesn’t have to be! I have three main tips:

  1. Start small. Don’t feel like you need to go all out when you first start. No need to tackle a full eye look, simply start with one color that’s fairly neutral and practice adding to your eyelid!
  2. Blend, blend and blend some more. If I’ve learned one thing from watching countless makeup artists on YouTube it’s that blending is SO important! Use a light hand to blend out the edges of your eyeshadow so you don’t have harsh lines. You can’t blend too much, trust me!
  3. Build if needed! If you feel like you can’t see your color or are going for a bolder look, you can always build! Slowly add more color and continue to blend each layer.

Choosing Eyeshadow Colors

Depending on your eye color, the eyeshadow color you wear can really make your eyes pop! Having said that, I don’t believe there are rules when it comes to makeup – play with color, add shimmer and sparkle, stick to neutrals, you do you!

Brown eyes – Lucky you (and me!) we can wear almost any color with our brown eyes. Experiment with fun colors or stick to neutral looks.

Blue eyes – Flash back to learning about the color wheel. Orange is opposite from blue on the color wheel meaning they are complimentary colors. This doesn’t mean you have to wear straight up orange eyeshadow but rather use colors that have orange undertones like copper, rust, gold and bronze.

Green and hazel eyes – Red is opposite of green on the color wheel so if you’re feeling adventurous, go for a red or burgundy eye look! If you want a more natural look, look for shades with red undertones like bronze or deep red/brown.

This product is super interesting. The colors aren’t very pigmented but I found that gives a really natural look. While it is a liquid eyeshadow, it dries fairly matte. It didn’t last super long on my eyelids but I liked that I had time to build and blend the product.
