Are you ready to give your next eye makeup a little extra sparkle? Grey eyeshadow is the perfect choice to make your next look stand out. Although most makeup fans consider this shade too light to wear on the eyes, but too dark to be used for everyday use, there are many ways you can bring out this gunmetal color! We’ve got two different grey eyeshadow options to help you change things up. Use our guide to help you choose the right option.
GREY EYESHADOW #1: GREY EYESHADOW
You don’t need to stick to black shadows to create a grey smokey look. This look is great for adding depth and dimension to your makeup looks.
STEP 1: PRIME YOUR EYES
Use concealer or an eye primer to prime your eyes. This will provide a smooth canvas for eye makeup application, and lasts from day to evening.
STEP 2: APPLY A NUTRITIONAL BROWN EYESHADOW FOR A BASE
Now it’s time for the grey shadow to begin. Apply a neutral brown, or nude, eyeshadow to your crease. L’Oreal Paris Infallible eye shadow crayon in Impressive brown is recommended.
STEP 3: ADD A DEEP, NEUTRAL SHADE
This is about creating a seamless blend between colors so your shadows can be seamlessly blended. Use your eyeshadow brush to apply a dark brown shadow. Gradually increase the pigment until you achieve your desired level.
STEP 4: PAINT YOUR CREASE WHITE EYESSHADOW
You are ready to unleash the color! Apply a dark shade such as a black shadow to intensify the crease.
STEP #5 – ADD GREY EYESSHADOW
It’s time to apply the grey eyeshadow that makes this look amazing! Apply the L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Monos Eyeshadow Argentic to your eyes. Blend the shadow until it’s evenly blended.
STEP #6 – LINE YOUR EYELIDS
Black eyeliner can be used to enhance your mysterious look. This look can be enhanced with a beautiful wing. For dramatic effect, line your lower waterline.
STEP #7 – VOLUME YOUR LASHES
The finish line is almost here. Mascara is essential for a smokey eye look. L’Oreal Paris Voluminous X Fiber Mascara will instantly elevate your look.
GREY EYESHADOW #2: SOFT AND SUBTLE
Grey eyeshadow can be worn for daytime, but who says that you shouldn’t? For a subtle yet soft finish, highlight the inner corner of the eye to make the neutral color more wearable.
STEP 1: PRIME YOUR EYELIDS
It’s essential to prepare your eyes for any type of eye makeup.
STEP 2: COLOR YOUR LIDS
For a stunning layer of grey eyeshadow, add the color. Use the same cool-toned shadow to coat your lids. Then add shimmer by pressing the shadow into the inner corner.
STEP 3: LET’S BUFFIT IT OUT
Use a flat shadowbrush to apply a darker grey shade towards the outer corner. You can buff it until you achieve the desired color.
STEP 4: DEFINE YOUR LIFE
Apply the same shade of deep grey to the lower lash lines. To ensure that the color lays smoothly, buff it out.
STEP #5 – IT’S MASCARA TIMES
Apply volumizing mascara on your lower and upper lashes. Your lashes will give your eyes a stunning, natural look with a long and soft lash line.
STEP #6 – FINISH THE LOOK WITH A PEEACH NUDE LIP
A nude lips are a great way to complete a daytime look. This color is a great way to add color to your pout without having it be too bold. For a trendy glossy pout, use a nude lipstick.
