Most women who are used to wearing full makeup to go out won’t even go bare-faced to the grocery store, let alone any other public place.
If this sounds like you, but you want something lighter and less obvious for daytime wear, there are barely there light eyeshadow looks.
The idea is to use very neutral shades and match them to your own skin tone/color. Lighter shades of brown and taupe are great for darker skin tones, while peaches and cream-colored shadows are ideal for lighter skin tones. Rosier light pinks are great for red or ruddy skin tones, and pale to golden yellow shadows are great for more yellowish skin tones. You can play around with these neutral palettes too to get different looks.
Another option is to go with pastel hues. In springtime pastel eyeshadows are especially popular. Use just one shadow over the entire lid for a very light, more natural daytime look.
Pink is popular, but it does not always look right with certain skin tones and eye colors. Green and blue looks good on almost all skin tones and with all eye colors.
If you have a pastel palette of many eyeshadow colors, play around for a bit to see what looks best on you. If you want more than one color on your lids but you don’t want to overdo it, use a very pale color to start. Make it very close to your own skin tone so that it’s barely noticeable.
Then add a second eyeshadow color over part of your lower eyelid as an accent color. Make sure your two chosen colors are complimentary and do not clash.
