Hello everyone,
today I want to show you all one of my rare neutral looks. And also the main reasons why I don’t wear them more often: they wash me out. I think the makeup itself is nice, natural and very appropriate for school or work, but on my pale skin, it just makes me look ill. 
I think it would have looked better if I had used a brown shade with pink undertones on the lid instead than such a pale, creamy color, but oh well, I can always try that next time. As for now, here’s the pix. I hope you like them and if you have any suggestion on how I could have improved the look, please share. Constructive criticism is always welcome. 
Products used:
– Senna Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer
– Get in line palette (pale beige)
– Sleek Curious palette (white)
– NYC Metro Quartet in Union Square (medium and dark browns)
– Pupa black pencil liner
– Wet n Wild Kajal & Eyeliner in white
– Maybelline Volum Express Cat Eyes Mascara
Directions:
– Apply an eyeshadow primer (I used Senna Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer) all over the lid as a base for the shadow to adhere better.
– Pat a pale beige shade (I used the one in the Get in Line palette) on the lid. Using a pencil brush, swipe some on the lower lashline too.
– Apply a white shade (I used the one in the Sleek Curious palette) on the browbone to highlight it.
– Apply a medium brown shade (I used the crease one in the NYC Metro Quartet in Union Square palette) on the crease.
– Darken the outer V with a dark brown shade (I used the contour one in the NYC Metro Quartet in Union Square palette).
– Line your upper lid with a black pencil liner and your waterline with a white pencil liner.
– Finish off with mascara.

It’s a simple look. Love it!

It’s nice to see you in more neutral colors Gio<3 I do agree with you, I think that if you used slightly warmer colors, it would look beautiful and your green eyes would definitely stand out more (:

OooooOooo~ This is pretty. When you’re doing an all natural look do you use foundation? If you do do you prefer something more matte or luminous?
Nikki, thanks and I agree. It’s perfect for those that want to look very natural.
Jenn, thanks, I’m glad you like it. It’s very work-appropriate, isn’t it?
Ahleessa, thank you. I wanted to do something simply and wearable and I think I’ve accomplishes that. It’s a shame it doesn’t look too good on me though.
Dee, I like wearing some more natural looks every now and then, but I’m not really that good at doing them. I think I need more practice, but I think warmer shades would suit me best too so I’ll try that next time, thanks.
Anastacia, thank you. I think it washes me out a bit but I’m glad you like it.
ToTheSunnySide, thanks. Yes, I always use foundation, I feel naked without. I prefer semi-matte finishes, not too glowy but not too dull either. Just that hint of shimmer that makes you look like you’re naturally glowing.
At the moment I’m using YSL Teint Singulier Sheer Powdercreme Veil Foundation, who has a semi-matte finish and provides sheer coverage, but it photographs white in picture, so that’s why I haven’t posted FOTDS yet.
At first I have to say that I love this nude emu though I miss your lovely bold colour combos. But hon, good news: The official Sleek MU webiste will launch today at 4:30 pm GMT. If you’ve added them at facebook you should take part in their giveaway.

Mylanqolia, thanks. I much prefer my bold looks too and that’s what I wear almost daily so you can expect more of those in the near future (and with a winged liner too
. But I thought it’d be nice to show a natural look for a change, plus I need the practice. I have no idea what to do with neutrals and I think it shows lol.
Ohh, that’s great news! And about time too! Can’t wait to see it. I hope the new website will sell the new limited edition palettes, Circus and Bohemian. Have you seen the pix online? The colors are beautiful (esp the ones in Circus, so bright and colorful!) and the packaging is different. It’s not black, but white or pink and really edgy and cool. Unfortunately I don’t have facebook (and I refuse to join cos I hate that website although I’m so tempted to now just so that I can take part in the competition lol) but thanks for letting me know and good luck to you!
