when you wear makeup, is eye shadow a part of the normal routine? [Poll]

we're having twins!
Re: clicky poll: makeup
while eyeshadow isn't a *requirement*, maybe you can go to a makeup counter and have them show you how to wear it more subtly. i wear dark eyeshadow everyday. i wouldn't know how to do it "subtle". it's always dark purple(more dark than purple). that's my "everyday" makeup. i use black/dark-gray for my "let's try a little harder" makeup.

jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
Sarack - if you want to wear subtle eyeshadow, the key is to go more neutral shaded then you just want to go with a soft color and a slightly darker version of it. Urban Decay Naked 2 palette is awesome for that.
Brown-toned pinks look good as well and can make your eyes look brighter.
I also do just a single sweep of color and then heavy liquid liner, my favorite being RSVP by Benefit

Yup, definitely all of this. I don't wear makeup often, though.
If I'm not doing neutrals, I'm likely doing soft greys or purples. Because I have blue/green eyes and yellow-toned skin, I can't do a lot of pinks or golds and have it look decent.
yeah, i think i need some one to show me.. because all of the stuff i've tried doesn't look how i imagine it. maybe i'll go to mac. i like them. i've never been to sephora in search for myself.
The bobbi brown folks are also really good at showing you how. Brushes are also key.
I also like various you tube videos.
