I like Bobbi Brown eyeshadow in Smoke is much softer than eyeliner, which tends to be kinda harsh looking. Just use a flat brush.
I agree. I like the "natural" look more. Sparkles and really dark shades really do not work well during the day which is most of the time for me anyway...
I usually don't wear eyeliner, but I got Shiseido's Cream eyeliner today and I *think* I just got this the "trick" right today lol (see pix). I guess I'll have to add the eyeliner step in between 2 and 3 once in a while lol.
I used:
I. Shiseido's Hydro Powder in Lemon Sugar on the inside and Bare pink on the outisde (you don't really see it well in the pic cuz I was really trying to test out the cream liner, but the shadows look gorgeous in real life!)
II. Shiseido's Cream Eyeliner in Brown used with Chanel's lining brush
III. Lancome's Fatale in Black
Here's how I do my eyes most of the time:
1. Lancome's Colour Dose or Shiseido's Hydro Powder eye shadow/base: smear on with my finger tips, doesn't need to be accurate.
2. MAC or Lancome's eye shadow: I usually use 1-3 shades of browns or purples (not both colours at the same time! lol) with a sponge applicator and I'll get the result like in my avatar pic where I used only one shade of brown. At other times, I use my Chanel brushes for shadowing, blending, lining...etc.
3. Curl lashes and use Lancome Fatale or Hypnose mascara
