YOU WONT BELIEVE: Low key eyeshadow for a modern look - What They Never Told You

Back in the day I never understood eyeshadows. That was when people would use a million shades and textures and resemble extras on a dodgy 80s music video. These days, neutrals offer a really modern approach to eye (and lip) makeup. The low-key shades of taupes, browns and plums are perfect for anyone who shies away from complex eyeshadow looks and wants ease – I tend to use just fingers to be honest(with a cotton bud dipped in makeup remover on standby). And they are easy on the eye – yours and everyone else’s.
