A Neutral Stand

Care to tone things down a bit for fall? STILA Natural Beauty Eye Shadow Palette does just that. It's thirteen shades -- some shimmers, some mattes -- all with a hint of color. To define the eye, you also have the option of deeper tones to kick up the look a notch for a very soft smoky eye.

QUICK HOW TO:

1. Prep the lid with with an eye primer to ensure lid is oil free (diminishes creasing).
2. Line eyes with dark brown/soft black liner at upper and lower lash lines. Smudge it a bit to soften the line or forgo the liner altogether.
3. Apply the lightest shade all over lid to brow bone.
4. Gently brush on mid-tone color at lower and upper lash line.
5. Apply darker shade to outer corners toward the crease.
6. Blend well inward (try MAC's #222 Tapered Blending Brush).
7. Dab the lightest shade at the inner corner of eye for "light."
8. Stroke on mascara to define lashes.
