5 Faves: Autumn-Inspired Eyeshadows (Warm-Toned Edition)

5 Faves: Autumn-Inspired Eyeshadows (Warm-Toned Edition)

One of my favorite color combinations is a very "fall" eye with coppers and rich browns, and I love to add purple or burgundy to that mix for darkening and keeping the look from looking too warm-toned. Here are my favorites:

  1. ARDENCY INN Rose Gold -- a pinky-copper
  2. MAC Amber Lights -- copper
  3. Make Up For...

Top 5: Plum Blushes for Fall 2015

Plum is one of my favorite cheek colors to wear (right after coral!), because they can run cool or warm in tone, so they work with a lot of looks. It's also a great shade to pair with the deeper lip colors that we often see in fall and winter. What are your favorites?

  1. Urban Decay Rapture -- a...

5 Faves: Summertime Coppers

5 Faves: Summertime Coppers

Copper is a great color for summer and fall (though surely you can wear it any time of the year!), but it has a brightness and often comes in a more shimmery finish so it gives off that summer vibe while the reddish tones read autumnal as well. Here are a few summer favorites:

  1. Sephora Sly as a Fox --...

Top 10: Best of NARS

Next in our brand focus: NARS! Another brand with a massive permanent range to choose favorites from, which always makes it a challenge. It was particularly frustrating to only pick a few from the Audacious lipstick range, as there are so many great shades in it! Here's where I started to narrow down...

Top 10: Best of Urban Decay

I think the first product I fell in love with from Urban Decay was their eyeliner (though possibly their eyeshadow... it's been awhile!). Over the last couple of years, they've really expanded their range to be more comprehensive again (I feel like they were comprehensive when I first got into...

Long-time readers will know that I've been a fan of Guerlain's products for a very long time, and a lot of my holy grail base products are from them (like my discontinued but beloved Parure Gold!). I'm not as enamored with their eyeshadow or blush formula, but their Rouge Gs remain my favorite...

Top 10: Best of MAC Cosmetics

This was a tough one, because MAC's range is ridiculously expansive and most formulas have a lot of shades, so it can be difficult to narrow it down to a mere ten favorites! (You can check out my initial pull of favorites here.) I've only included permanent favorites, but these are some of my...

Top 10: Summer Highlighters

When I think of summer, I think gorgeous, glowing cheeks, and one of my weaknesses is a good highlighter. This post features ten of my favorite permanent highlighters, and some of them may be more blush-like on certain skin tones (and some are highlighting blushes on my medium skin tone), and I...
