Face of the Day: Grey Skies

Posted by in FotD, looks | 13 comments

Grey shadows are a favourite of mine, but I find they can be difficult to find at times.  Often I find they’re more silver than grey or brown based – but I have managed to snag a few, sadly most of them have been limited edition colours.

I’ve been wanting to use some grey shadows in the past few weeks, but I wasn’t in the mood for a bold or frosty look.  Interestingly enough, it did turn out more dramatic than I intended, but I think that has more to do with the contrast between the lid and the crease, along with the lid and my skin.

Which do you prefer; matte greys or frosty silvers?
