favourite way to wear gray eyeshawdow is to wear a lighter one on the lid and a dark gray at the outer corner of the eye and pushed into the crease to darken it. I love a classic gray smokey eye.

My fav way to wear gray eyeshadow is over my lid and buffed up into the crease, but not above the crease. I’m subscribed to your RSS and TWITTER: Kella86 🙂

I would have to say that my favorite way to wear gray eyeshadow would be in the crease, with a gold pigment on the lid, and a bit more of the grey in the inner corner, then all blended out!

My favorite way to wear grey is all over the lid with carbon in the outer V & crease to smoke it out.

I like to wear a grey eyeshadow under the lower lashline to complement a more smokier eye. It lifts the eye and makes it really pop due to the darkness of the smokey look. Makes a nice contrast and an interesting effect. Lower waterline should be lined with a dark grey colour to complete the effect.

I like to rim my eyes with gray eyeshadow and apply it to the inner third of my lid and blend it with a slighty darker shadow into the crease!

my look is to put white in the corner of my eyes, then put a light gray on the lid(little over the white) then do a med gray in the corner blending that in to the light gray and a darker gray in the corner blended into the crease with a black liner on top(lid) and the gray shadows on the bottom lids. with a light pink lip

Katya Avatar

i dont like to use grey eyeshadow by itself, so my favorite way to wear grey eyeshadow is to make classic smoky eye, but adding little spark or some other colior to it, ex:by adding blue(or anyother color) on inner corners(both top and bottom lashline), and use light grey to darker grey on the outer

Grey eyeshadow looks incredible with pink. If you put pink on your lid, you can diffuse grey from the crease (darker) to a lighter tone under the brow.

Or, if you want to use three shades, put bright fuschia on the lid, grey in the crease and a light pale pink as a highlighter under the brow. It makes your eyes pop.

Diabla Avatar

I only own one gray: Mac Après Ski which is a matte medium warm grey. I love to wear it on its own on my lid, I highlight with brule on the brow bone and I put black eyeliner around my eyes and add carbon on the external corners and under my eyes. It’s kinda a neutral smokey.

I love grey eyeshadow alone with a cateye liner look, that’s my favorite way to wear grey. But otherwise I like it in smokey looks where black is too much, like during the day look.

I can’t pick one. Grey is my favorite eyeshadow color. Love matte ones, shimmery ones…all of them. I love a smokey eye with greys and I love just a quick wash of color on the lid. My favorite grey is French Grey by MAC.

Michelle Avatar

Smokey eye with grey on the lid and dark grey or black in the crease

Greys and blues are beautiful with the grey in the crease

Also greens and greys are a good combination…

Kajsa Avatar

Together in the classic smokey eyes. Or as a softed version of the black liner on the top lid.

I would do a smokey gray eyes, where colors are sort of inverted. The lid would have the darkest color gray, then a lighter gray around the crease, then smoke the outer v with a black or an even darker gray for the contrast.

Nicole15 Avatar

My favorite way to wear gray eyeshadow (like Print for example) would be in my outer V into my crease & then smudged under my lower lash line. Usually a purple or plummy pink on my lid & plum lips!

Gray is great for everything. But I love it with yellow on the lid, and gray in the crease. Or a gray smokey eye, because smokey eyes are always gorgeous 🙂

I absolutely love greys with light/dark blues. I would put nylon in the inner corner, with a light blue on the middle of the lid, blend it out with a darker blue on the outer third of the eye, then in the crease I would smoke the look out with a gray color. I would probably wear Dollymix blush and nylon as a highlighter on my cheeks, and top the look off with any light pink gloss/lipstick combo! Twitter:Sufiju, Rss Subscribed.

I love to wear gray in the crease and along the lower lash line with a baby pink for highlight. I still have some Smoke and Diamonds left, now I may have to go play with it! LOL.

Laura aka Vanitys Edge Avatar

Wow…Grey…what a classic! I love a classic smokey eye using grey & black! Using a white/lt grey on the inner third, blended into a darker grey, blended into black that is then blended up into the crease! But, my thing is that i like using a matte faded into a shimmer…I feel it adds a bit of interest and fun! I have put a grey liner into the waterline as well on the bottom…just half way in tho! I LOVE GREY SHADOWS!!!

Jenni Avatar

My most favorite way to wear a gray eyeshadow is (to me the best way to wear it) in a smokey eye with blacks and whites and some shimmer. 🙂

I haven’t been able to do a good smokey eye yet so my favorite way to wear gray eyeshadow in my crease with a bright pink color on my lid then blended very well. It tones down the pink and adds a really unique look. It helps if you use a more blue toned gray.

I really love grey e/s, since they look really good with my blue-grey eyes. :o)
I usually line my lower lashline with a grey or tauper grey (Clue), regardless what other colours I am wearing.
I also love doing all-grey e/s. My fave is Electra all over the lid with Knight to darken the crease and to line my upper lashline.

I wear gray eyeshadow just on my lid and blend the harsh lines. Then I line my eyes with a black eyeliner. And mascara!

My favorite way to wear gray shadow is to do a smokey eye, but to make it lighter on the inside of eye and darken it as I go out to my outer eye. For example: Inner Eye – Arctic Gray, Center Eye – Silverthorn, Outer Eye – Black Tied. Blend well to show the gradual darkening and line the lower lash line with a blend of Scene and Vex. Add some Plushlash in Black and voila!

it’s great to darken up lighter colors on the inner section of your eye or in your crease to make a more subtle smokey, as well as on the lower lash line (:

I usually wear grayall over the lid, and then a darker gray in the crease and outer corner. And then I smoke it out on the lower lashline. and then sometimes when im feeling special, i wing it out in a wisp of light gray. So you only see it in certain lights and angles. But I like it ;).

Feline smudged out from the lashlines and also on the waterline. Dark grey on the lid with a reflective silver on the ball of the lid and smoked out with black in the outer corner. Line with blacktrack and top with falsies for the ultimate smoky eye! I like to wear it with a barely-there peach blush and nude lips.

Krystal Avatar

i love grey eyeshadow, it’s so versatile whether it has shimmer or its matte. you can use to darken any color and create a classic smokey eye.

personally, i like to start with a shimmer white eyeshadow in the inner corner of the eye, blending into a light grey, then a dark grey, then eventually a black shadow in the crease. black kohl liner on the waterline and slightly winged black liquid eyeliner with a few coats of black mascara to create the cat-eye look.
pair with a neutral, glossy lip, and its the PERFECT look. anyone can pull it off!

Well, I actually have two fave ways. For a more natural, soft look, I like to pair a dark, shimmery pewter grey with light pink. Pink on lid to crease, then grey for the V and crease & finally highlighted it with a pale opal pink on brow bone. For a more dramatic look, I like to line my eyes with kajal, smoke that out with grey & soften that out at the V & a little on outer crease with dark blue or purple.

My favourite way to wear grey eyeshadow is keeping it as a light dusting on my lids and maybe a darker tone or even black in the crease. Either keeping lips neutral or going for a lipstick that really pops. Depending on the outfit.

My favourite way of wearing grey eye shadow is in my outer corners under my lower lashes.

To add drama i put a little grey shimmer right in the corners so that when i smile my eyes sparkle in the corners haha

My favorite way to wear grey is to create a smoky eye using different shades of grey. I use a light pearly grey for the inside corners and 1st third of the lid, a medium grey for the rest of the lid, a dark grey for the outer corner and a thin blended line in the crease. And then finish the look with a grey liner on top and bottom, then smoke out the lower lashes with the dark grey!

I love using a medium gray with a bright, bright silver. Its not a huge contrast, but its just enough to make that silver pop.

I have a couple looks:

I combine a warm-ish, dark gray with slightly pearlized bone-colored shadow and do a subtle but smokey-ish eye and use bobbi brown’s raspberry pink pot rouge as a blush and on the lips. This is a very balanced look, all the features speak on their own but aren’t too overpowering either.

I also love wearing a shimmery, light smokey with medium grays such as MAC silver ring and just a bit of black shadow on the outer V. this goes very well with peachy-pinky nude lips, such as MAC hug me.

One of my favorite ways to wear grey is my go-to look for work: a soft, smokey eye using pink and grey. Looks great, but isn’t a run of the mill neutral eye like most girls at work.

I’m no makeup expert, but my favorite way to wear gray e/s is paired with a darker shadow (esp black, or a DARK blue), black liner, and some thick black mascara 🙂

Hey Christine!

My favorite way to wear grey eyeshadow is in the crease with some ittedescent white on the lid and a matte charcoal black in the outer v and lower/upper lashline!

I love gray eyeshadow as a light wash on the lid with a pop of silver. I usually put it in the inner corner and blend some black in the outer corner. Gray is so sophisticated and versatile – i’ve gotten quite a few of my friends hooked on it!

I haven’t experimented with grey that much just yet, but I like to use it as the main lid colour in a black/grey smokey eye.

I like to put grey in the outer corner and bright yellow in the crease area
