Has anyone used the "no color" eye lid I see on influencers?  They do appear to have a powder or soft covering on their lids as well as thick dark lashes and eyeliner.

LOL, that's my eyes today! I don't watch "influencers " but through the years, I often have just worn Mascara alone. My eyelashes are very dark and long from my  glaucoma med.

@ECBG  I have been trying for years to achieve the no color lid. I cannot seem to get it right. I have to use cream eyeshadow as my lids are now too crepey for powder. If anyone out there knows how to do this lid please post it.

I need a neutral color shadow on my lids to hide the darkness. I use original bisque. How about just a finishing powder.

If I'm going to wear makeup, that's how I do it normally. Eyeshadow weighs my eyes down.

I just can't wear a dark color on my lid.  It just doesn't look right.  So, I always use some sort of light color there, whether it be a light beige type or sometimes a light pink or light yellow.  But, I always use a darker shade in the crease.

I always start by using a bit of concealer and highlighter on my lids and around my eyes to even and brighten the area. If I'm in a hurry or feeling lazy, I will skip eye shadow but use mascara and eyeliner on top lashes and lid only.

 

My mascara and eye shadow colors are very neutral. I use black brown mascara, various shades of brown for eye shadow, and a bronze eyeliner. I have blue eyes and these tones bring out my eye color. I don't really like anything super dark and heavy on my eyes. On my fair skin it's just too much IMO. I've always been a more natural makeup gal. 


Have a Great Day, Everyone!

The suggestion is a neutral eyelid primer.  It brightens.

A finishing powder would rub off my deep set eyes.

I often use Tatcha "The Pearl" as a base on my eyelids to even out the coloration on my lids.  I sometimes use a neutral powder shadow over that or color just depending on what I want to do that day.  And I often wear liner and mascara whether or not I wear a color (or 3) on my lids.  I don't watch uTube, so don't really care what "influencers" are doing there.  

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.
