Five for Friday: My Kinda Neutrals ft. Sydney Grace

Makeup Look Ideas

Sydney Grace Matte Shadow

Sydney Grace Eyeshadows are fantastic and come in such a massive variety of colors! Here are some of my favorite more neutral-leaning pairings for some weekend inspiration!

About This Series

Each look idea is centered around a “quad” of four shades with the expectation that one might bring in the appropriate brow bone or additional transitional shade based on skin tone. Consider these ideas a jumping off point with four “core” colors that can inspire your next look. For reference, based on how I usually apply makeup, I would consider applying the shades in this order: inner lid, middle of lid, outer lid/crease, and crease/above crease or lid.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!
