Five for Friday: Never Enough Neutrals

Natasha Denona Biba 15-Pan Eyeshadow Palette

On the lookout for some more neutral color combination ideas? Here are five ideas using Sydney Grace Eyeshadows 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.

Thank you Christine for these suggestions – I love the Gritty Glam one the best. I also love the title, as I am always wanting different suggestions for neutral pairings – they are just my jam!
