Hi pretties! 💕
Neutral eyeshadow isn’t just “safe”—it’s one of the most versatile tools in your makeup kit. Whether I’m filming content, travelling, or running out for errands, I rely on a well-chosen neutral palette. A single shadow gives me effortless polish. It achieves this look without the fuss. Today I’m sharing the neutral shades I reach for again and again, why they work, and how I wear them.

Urban Decay Naked Palette

The OG neutral palette. This was one of my first-ever eyeshadow palettes and it remains iconic. The mix of satins, shimmers, and mattes is perfect. It’s easy to create everything from daytime soft glam to a sultry night look.
Why I love it: versatile, travel-friendly, and the shades still hold up beautifully after all these years.

  • Shades I adore:
  • Virgin (cream beige satin)
  • Sin (champagne shimmer)
  • Naked (neutral beige matte)
  • Half Baked (light gold shimmer)
  • Smog (bronze metallic)
  • Hustle (dark taupe satin).

Flowerknows Moonlit Mermaid palette

Like a fairytale in palette form. The packaging looks straight out of a storybook, and the soft neutral tones are perfect for light, everyday looks.


Why I love it: dreamy packaging + wearable, blendable neutrals that give a soft mermaid glow.

Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette in Exaggereyes

Charlotte Tilbury knows how to do neutrals right. This quad of four shimmering and matte shades gives the eyes that polished “put-together” glow.

Luxurious inside and out. The Strawberry Rococo palette features five soft neutral shades perfect for daily wear.

Tarte Tartelette in Bloom Palette

One of my longtime favorites — and for good reason. The Tartelette in Bloom palette is a neutral lover’s dream, mixing warm taupes, soft peaches, and a few romantic shimmers.

Dasique Muted Nuts Palette

If Milk Latte is your morning latte, Muted Nuts is the cozy evening cappuccino. A little deeper, a little richer — full of warm browns inspired by hazelnut and cacao.


Why I love it: refined depth, soft mattes, and that signature Dasique texture that makes blending effortless.

Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette

An old favorite that deserves every bit of love. Sadly, it’s being discontinued — but the shades are classic neutrals done right.

Dear Dahlia Secret Garden Palette

The eco-friendly packaging might be new, but the classic formula remains flawless. The shades lean slightly bright while still staying within that wearable neutral range.

You don’t need the trendiest colors to look polished. Sometimes, all it takes is the right blend of beige and shimmer. This enhances your natural beauty.
