Just because gray eyes look amazing in glittery metallics does not mean that they don’t look equally fantastic in subtle neutral shades. If you’re looking for the best beauty looks for your day-to-day, then look no further. Even if you already have your makeup look for work and daily errands down pat, it might be missing just a bit of flair — and the right shadow and liner can change that stat.
Gray eyes make a huge impact no matter the occasion, but as explained by Style Cheer, a great neutral shadow can really set them apart. As per the outlet, your best bets are light brown, warm beige, and darker browns — all shades that serve as the perfect complement to gray eyes whether you’re headed out to tour 9 to 5, or an evening out on the town. While brown eyes can sometimes get lost in chocolate shadow, light-toned gray eyes pop against neutral shadows, and the results are spectacular. Even better? Unlike metallics and glitter shadows, nude and brown toe the line between very subtle and just a little flirty!
Try swiping on a shadow in a nude or champagne shade, followed by a liner in black or cocoa. Finish the look with mascara, clear gel on your brows, blush at the apples of your cheeks, and a shimmery gloss. This look is also a great starting point if wanting to add a cat eye or darker eyeshadow for cocktails later (via Style Cheer).
