“Loved Maybelline's The Nudes palette. I put a light base on my lids and then pop some darker hues in the creases of my eyelids to achieve a subtle, approachable smokey-eye look that can take me from day to night!”
“The Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Oh So Sexy Eyeshadow Quad has perfect colors. The black eyeshadow actually doubles as an eyeliner when I wet the end of a fine-tipped brush and sweep lines across my upper lash lines!”
Pick up one eyeshadow palette that has a range of neutral shades—that's all you need. The dual-ended sponge applicator in the Maybelline palette is high-quality and worth keeping. Use the skinny end wet to apply black eyeshadow as liner if you don't have a brush on you. The Physicians Formula palette is nice and small (with a shadow applicator and mirror inside) to tuck into your clutch for a mid-night reapplication. Finish the eye look with two coats of black mascara—another staple you should always try to have on you.
