15 Best MAC Neutral Eyeshadows and How to Organize Them
Here is my top pick for neutral eyeshadows, and how to organize them in your palette. There are some colors that I haven’t included in this list as they could be considered “neutral” or a “color.”
The shadows are listed from left to right, and top row to bottom row. (Check out this tutorial for How to Organize your MAC Neutral Palette) I hope this is helpful for you!

some of these I have . . some I’m kinda iffy getting because I have suck fair skin. I don’t know where or how I would use them.
Hey Marlena. The video was very helpful…I plan on getting some of those! Can you tell me what you have on your lips because it looks so pretty? Thanks
I think it was “syrup” lipstick or “long stem rose” slimshine… It’s been awhile since I taped this, so I can’t remember for sure
Thanks Marlena
wow, this is what I needed! There are lots of neutral colors and its kinda hard for me to decide which one to get.. thanks for narrowing it down.. Thank you so much for your help!
I love Amber Lights so much, but barely wear it. What would be some good color combinations to go with Amber Lights so I could wear it more often
Twinks and Mulch are my best friends with my crease.
Thanks for posting.
