I know it's been done but can you share your recommendations for eyeshadows?

I really want to find a decent eyeshadow that looks good on and stays put for at least most of the day. Can anyone give me some ideas?

W7 on amazon
The toasted pallete is a dupe of the Naked palette by urban decay.

It stays on all day and costs about a fiver for about 10 colours.

What kind of look do you want to achieve? Smoky, nude, etc? is there anyone whose eye makeup you like?

I think that actually, if you use a decent eyeshadow primer,then you can use any powder eyeshadow (I don't know about cream ones because I don't use them), and it will stay put. I use an Urban Decay one.
For shadows, I have the Naked 2 and 3 palettes, also by Urban Decay.....I don't need any more eyeshadow!

Thanks for all the replies! I'm looking for a pretty natural daytime look for work. I have looked at the urban decay and wondered if they were worth the money. Will look for a good primer too.

MUA in bronze is my favorite everday eyeshadow,and an absolute steal at £1. It beats my expensive eyeshadows by a mile

MAC is brilliant. You only need two pots really- one for the lid and a mid tone for the socket line. I use Brule and Satin Taupe. They blend beautifully, stay true to colour and last.

Bobbi Brown in 'Bone'.

It's a light, light neutral that just makes me look awake.

Look on Charlotte Tilbury. She does shadow pencils that flatter your eye colour - I love them. The lids are crap though and come off, but the colours are lovely.

Definitely MUA - I have Undressed which I think is their dupe of UD Naked and they're really good.

I use edward bess primer, then burberry eyeshadow. I wear make up rarely so I don't buy very much and cost is not an issue, but this combination always works for me.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I did use the MUA palette a while ago so might dig it out again as its so cheap! I also saw the W7 one in my local chemist this morning for £5, so grabbed it to give it a try. I think the primer is the thing for me so will invest in it. I really like the look of the MAC ones too so might put in a request for some vouchers for my birthday!!
Thanks all

The Urban Decay Naked palettes are brilliant - well worth the money.

Urban Decay Naked palettes really do live up to the hype. Fabulous shades and texture.

I agree with Dumpylump re UD primer. I also recommend Elizabeth Arden primer.

I have the UD Naked 3 palette. It's ok, although some of the shadows are a bit too sparkly/ glittery.

I recommend Mac and Laura Mercier eyeshadow

Just bought a no 7 eye shadow pencil - stay perfect shade and define. It's amazing. No creasing, stays all day.

After years of buying super expensive makeup I'm seriously rating no 7 at the moment

Another Bobbi brown fan here. Stay put for hours even without primer. The new formula Chanel quads are excellent too (although you aren't supposed to use them wet).

Rimmel shadow pencils are great. Stay put, lovely colours.
