Very Blonde & Very Fair Gals: Looking for a Neutral Eye Shadow?

I'm very blonde & very pale (I use Foundation #1--Fair) and I've tried many brown eye shadows to try to get a nice, neutral color on my eye. Most have made my eyes look too muddy and thus, closed in.

However, I've found the perfect solution and it is the Pale Ash Blonde eyebrow powder. It's the perfect shade; it looks very nice on and definitely not muddy

I just wanted to pass this along to anyone who might be in the same boat I was.

Thanks for the tip. I'm also blonde and fair and I find it hard to find makeup colors that look good on me. So far, my favorite shadow is Maybelline Crown Jewels.

I'm a little confused (normal for me). Do you use this eyebrow color as an eye

shadow? Or on your eyebrows.

I'm confused too. And I don't see anything called Pale Ash Blonde Eyebrow Powder under Bare Minerals.

Good to know. I am light/medium blonde and have trouble finding a blonde that does not turn too red on me. I have been using pewter colors lately to get away fro the brown. I'll give the pale ash blonde a try. Maybe I already have it.

Your best bet is a soft matte taupe .... neutral, and not overpowering, color-wise. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}

I use it as both. But my tip is to use it as an eye shadow.

Bare Minerals just brought back their eye brow powders again, so you'd have to go to BareEscentuals.com to get it.

I use several that I got from IT cosmetics, but the best fit for me is a soft taupe. Never looks muddy or dirty and is always a nice accent.
