You might be bored of neutral eyeshadow palettes, but how about extreme neutrals?! Well one word can make all the difference! I have the Laura Mercier Extreme Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette here to show you with lots of pics and swatches. Enjoy!!

So if you don’t have a neutrals palette you love, which is a highly unlikely scenario for many beauty junkies, then this one is  worth a look because it has a mix of finishes and a couple of nice non-neutrals to make things a little bit interesting. We featured this in this week’s Hot List.

Now, the thing is, I have countless neutral eyeshadow palettes. I have neutral eyeshadow palettes that I know I have forgotten about! However, what I like about this is the fact that the mattes have been formulated to smooth the lids and give them a flawless appearance. This probably isn’t something you need to consider if you love your lids, but if you want them to look smoother and more perfected then this palette is one to consider.

I love shimmer eyeshadow, but I also know that matte is supposed to be more flattering if the skin on your eyelids isn’t so smooth. Problem is, I find some matte eyeshadow to be chalky and dry-looking, and they can actually accentuate any creases and lines.

I find you can use the the mattes in this palette to create a lovely base for the subtles shimmer shades, and you can create really nice depth and shape to the eyes, whilst keeping your lids looking lovely and smooth. The shimmer shades are a soft shimmer – the type that doesn’t accentuate crepey skin, so perfect for the older lid! Laura Mercier is a great brand for all ages, but I think it’s especially relevant when you start dealing with the challenges that ageing brings.

Laura Mercier Extreme Neutrals Swatches

Dune, Wind, Rock, Dust, Earth, Bone:

Choco Glaze, Violet Sugar, Cocoa Rose, Rock Candy Mauve, Hot Chocolate, Chocolate Espresso:

I love all these shades. Some of them don’t come up so well in the swatch, like Wind and Bone, but they actually do a great job with the texture of my lids. I can then layer the more exciting densely pigmented shades over the top. I love Violet Sugar – such a great take on neutral.
