On nails - Butter London Trout Pout |
My favourite eyeshadow to wear the last few weeks (and I kid you not, I've been wearing this eye look almost every day for the last 3 weeks or so) is Inglot eyeshadow in #502. It's actually a perfect colour to wear on its own as once you blend it out it has enough dimension to make it look like you have other colours with it.
It's a matte greyish taupe with purple undertones. It has tiny little glitter particles in it which keeps the matte shadow from looking too flat. I normally apply a bit of black eyeliner first, then using a flat brush apply Inglot e/s in #502 all over the lid blending it above the lid.

What eyeshadows do you wear on their own?
this grey/pink combination is great!
ReplyDeleteThank you! it's an easy combination for lazy days :-)
DeleteLove grey/taupe shades.. I'd wear that too ^^ I'd also go for either taupey/gray shade .. or just a fine shimmer pearl shade.
ReplyDeleteTaupey/greys are my favourite.. I have my eye on NARS Lhasa which seems the perfect taupey/grey/purple, I bet it would be easy to wear on its own.
DeleteLove this look and I love your smile :) xxx
ReplyDeleteAww thanks hun xo
DeleteWow, one shadow colour only? It looks great & that colour looks kinda like a not so glittery, matte & grayer version of the chanel pot eyeshadow in purple! (can't remember the name, illusoire? Ombre D'illusion or something?) That's what I thought you had actually used before I started reading :) I must say, your smile is very endearing & infectious! Simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh I think I know which chanel one you mean... nah, too stingy to spend $50 on a single shadow! LOL. And thanks re the smile :-)
DeleteBeautiful look! My favourite shadow for a one shade look is Illamasqua Ore. It seems to highlight and contour my eyes with no effort at all on my part!

ReplyDeleteThanks Sara-May, just added Ore to my list to check out. I'm all about no-effort looks right now. xo
DeleteYour makeup always looks flawless. I've started using the new maybelline color tattoo cream shadow in tough as taupe with the l'oreal infallible shadow in sultry smoke. They're bautiful together and quality products that I think you'd like if you haven't already tried them!
ReplyDeleteOh I've seen them on the net but both aren't available in Australia yet :(
DeleteI've never tried Inglot eyeshadows, think I might go and take a look! Your makeup looks lovely and you have a gorgeous glow!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. xo
DeleteSo very pretty! Will have to check that shade out. I often wear my Shiro neutral shades by themselves, and any holo sort of shade goes well for that sort of thing as well
ReplyDeleteThanks babe. Of course, holo shades! I have plenty of those laying around too, great for lazy one shadow days.
DeleteI love how creative you are!! If I used just one eyeshadow it would look really, really flat ;)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha, my so-called creativity comes from laziness!
DeleteMy favorite eyeshadow color to wear on it's own is Silk Teddy by Too Faced. It's the perfect shimmery champaign color to throw on in a hurry and it goes well with every makeup look. Plus it doesn't require much blending!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
xoxo Aisha
I love that eyeshadow color - I'm adding it to my wishlist for sure.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite one-sweep eyeshadow color is Urban Decay Smog - the perfect bronze.
You are an enabler...not only am I loving that shadow, but I LOVE the Tarte blusher on you and now I need that too! =)
ReplyDeleteHOW ARE YOU ALWAYS SO FLAWLESS! lol
ReplyDeleteI've been doing one eyeshadow recently as well. Getting lazy. :P
What a beautiful smoky grey. I love how you've paired the look with the silver necklace; it really makes it complete! Now that you mention solo eyeshadows, I don't think I've worn that many alone lately. The couple that I can recall from recently are NARS Lhasa and Urban Decay bootycall.
ReplyDeleteYou look radiant Lilit! I wear MAC Shroom or Maybelline Silken Taupe as single shades when I'm feeling lazy. Weird coincidence alert - my basic face post is scheduled for tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI've been using Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze. It's so pigmented and if you are in a rush, you don't need anything else on your lid!

Aww! You look lovely! I actually haven't worn eyeshadow at all in the last two weeks! I'm trying out my MAC Paint Pot in Treasure Hunt today though~
