Starter for 10 - Urban Decay "Naked"

Any suggestions?

Lainey I have blue/grey/green eyes with navy flecks - does that make a difference?

I have a warm skin tone but plums are tricky to get right, I find. I hardly even use black eyeliner as it makes me look like a doll. Hmm I use greyish eyeliners and was using a wet brush but now use Avon Glimmersticks which are very good imo.

if your brave orange? really makes them pop

my eyes are blue with amber flecks in them so maybe grey is best for blue -grey

Avon Glimmersticks are the best liners ever.
Taupe will accentuate the blue in blue/ grey eyes without standing out too much. I know copper/orange does make the blue in eyes pop but it can clash with your colouring.
I line my eyes and then use the matte chocolate colour from the Revlon Coffee bean set to blend it with a brush. I then pop the taupe over the majority of the lid and up to the brow bone.

Just had a look Avon glimmer sticks - on offer 2 for £8 or 3 for £10!

beatenbyayellowteacup - are they liquid eyeliners? I need a very short brush or I just screw up the application so have been sticking to No 7 but maybe I need to explore other options. Sorry for thread hijack OP!

househunter - M&S do a really short brushed liquid eyeliner.

I am a pale ish blonde with blue eyes and looking at those glimmersticks would you go for plum?!

Ooh thanks TracyK, will look into those

I always think plum on my eyes makes me look like I've got a sore eye and I'm pale ish with blue/green eyes. I ordered the grey and the black and also the mascara - all for £10. You can get free P&P if you spend £20 - but I don't really like getting eyeshadows or lipglosses without seeing in RL first - so I just paid the p&p.Although was tempted with the sculpting leggings (I think someone had recommended them last year)
