Natural Eyeshadow

Hi
I'm looking for some advice!!
Currently wear Rimmel Inspiration eyeshadow but the only place I can buy it is ebay, and I'm convinced its going to disappear!
Can anyone advise me on a similar eyeshadow that may do - its very nutural but has a shimmer in it but not too much in your face, I've tried various and some are often too dark as I'm very pale skinner (currently got dark blonde hair too but will go lighter in the summer)
Here is the shadow I use.....

Thanks in advance :)

    If I were you I would take your current eyeshadow into town and compare it to the others that are out there. Rub a bit on your hand and then try similar ones to find the closest match, as it's on the same 'base' (i.e. your hand) you should be able to tell which is pretty close.

    Good Luck

    Not cheap, but a little goes a long way. I love this for a natural-but-made-up eye.

    If you can get to a MAC counter, they'll apply it for you to see if it's right before buying.
  • Thanks Bronnie - I'm not bothered about spending mney as I get sensitive eyes so have to watch what I wear so tend to go the higher end (except for my current eyeshadow)

    Loreal star secrets eyeshadows. Check them out they are brilliant. My fave is the one for green eyes.
  • I really like the bourjois ones, especially the beige rose. You can get little teeny travel pots now if you want to try them out. They were also on offer lately, maybe 3 for 2 or something?

    I just tend to stock up on the colours I think are about to be discontinued. I bought every pot I could find of the Ciate Paparazzi nail varnish and I'm now down to my very last one....

    I use a No7 eye shadow that I got in a set from Boots. I think it is Mink, but I'm taking the one I have into Boots tomorrow to check so I will post back and let you know :)

    It's the 'No7 Stay Perfect Eye shadow' at £7 (or £2 if you have a £5 off voucher :D)

    I wear it every day and it really suits my pale features :)
