For overall blending purposes, it’s good to have 4 eyeshadow colors: a black, dark brown, medium brown, and nude. These are for blending out harsh lines or creating your “go to” everyday look. Here’s my recommendations for various brands:
MAC Eyeshadows:
- Carbon (black) (MAC) (Amazon)
- Espresso (dark brown) (MAC) (Amazon)
- Wedge (light brown) (MAC) (Amazon)
- Brule (nude) (MAC) (Amazon)
Makeup Geek Eyeshadows:

- Mocha – Makeup Geek Store
- Purely Naked – Makeup Geek Store
- Vanilla Bean – Makeup Geek Store
