Mariella, thank you for reminding me about Nars Goulue ! I have pulled it out 🙂
You are both very welcome for the reminders. I just typed out a very long reply, talking about Goulue, and it vanished into the ether. So I’ll keep this short – it’s a shame Goulue isn’t more widely available.

Favorite fall eyeshadow palette? Charlotte Tilbury The Dolce Vita quad or the Ciate London x Olivia Palermo Smokey Suedes eyeshadow palette.
Favorite fall lip color? I change my lip color almost every day, but if I had to choose I’d probably say either Ciate London x Olivia Palermo lipstick in Praline or Colourpop Lippie Stix in Poison.
The Ciate London x Olivia Palermo Smokey Shades palette is stunning – no wonder you love it Nicole. Beautiful shades and I love that teal/green shade.
Thank you, I really do love it. They did an amazing job making that palette. I do as well, it’s such a stunning green for a smoky eye. I wish that it wasn’t a limited edition product-really the whole Olivia Palermo collab was done well.

Favorite fall eyeshadow palette? A tie between Chanel Empriente du Desert and UD Vice 3 Palette.
Favorite fall lip color? MAC VG I, Taraji P. Henson VG 2 and UD After Dark.
I had another look at the shades of Vice 3 and it is a beautiful palette – all those shades would really suit you Nancy.
Empreinte du Desert – any good, is it??? 😉 I see you’ve also mentioned Nars Goulue. I got it as a VIB Rouge gift and for a time, the full size was available at Sephora but only to VIB Rouge but not any more…. My little pan is likely to last me a decade, which is good, but what are folks to do who really want it? Is it available through Nars, do you know?

Really easy to find the answer for once! ?
I love reading everyone’s choices. For me, I tend to wear similar shades year round. I find my love and penchant for smoky darker colours, has been surpassed by a preference for lighter to medium shades due to maturing face/skin. I go with a little darker lip, but def not vamp, pretty much smokier versions of my summer shades and typically matte finish. I cannot do traditional fall shades with heavy yellow/orange undertones: sallow central.
Your skin tone/coloring: NC20 light olive
Favorite fall blush? EL audacious plum, Hourglass Mood Light
Favorite fall eyeshadow palette? MAC Basic Bitch is working for me
Favorite fall lip color? ABH dusty mauve or dead roses
Your skin tone/coloring: Deep Dark NW50
Favorite fall blush? MAC Raisin and Taraji Glow
Favorite fall eyeshadow palette? ABH Modern Renaissance
Favorite fall lip color? I love a deep vampy lip, but I love a nude/mauve lip year round.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-to-medium, somewhere between olive and neutral
Favorite fall blush: Becca Flower Child for warm looks, Nars Goulue for cooler/neutral looks and Marc Jacobs Flesh and Fantasy for everything
Favorite fall eyeshadow palette: ABH Modern Renaissance, the new Marc Jacobs palette in Glambition
Favorite fall lip color: Nars Vera (berry)
By preference, fall shades year round, but I tried to do summer, e.g. Lighter or brighter this year, so fall, come back at me with a vengeance! ~nw 15-20. Blush: fall makes me think MUFE. They have so many downright perfect warm/orange/rust family choices. Faves would prob be Canyon (for understated) and Copper Red (the blush, not the e/s, and yes, mufe does have two different shades with the same name in English, not same #) for shimmery. Other top fave is the Nars summer DI palette, which somehow was pried out of my summer fingers. E/S: will def pull out V3, thanks NT. The Chloe Morello haul will get a lot of use. Prob warm neutrals with Pro mega 3. Zoeva En Taupe And metal/matte. Lips: anything Nars dark or brown red. Same w/cp. Greiges from Mayb, ABH, Tarte. just realized that my faves don’t necessarily go together. What I put on is usually in the same color family. Prob all those brown red lips…they sound like one floor of a sorority… are why I needed the DI palette in the first place. And there’s plenty of yes, please, and mod ren to go with the mufes. And the greiges with the EnTaupe and mufe ash plum for draped blush. It just sounded so dyscoo, when the faves were written by category!
Your skin tone/coloring: fair (elf Flawless Finish Foundation in Natural/Porcelain is a perfect match), warm undertone
Favorite fall blush? Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Paaarty (favorite blush ever!)
Favorite fall eyeshadow palette? Essence All About Roses (I normally don’t go for cool-toned eyeshadow, but this is so gorgeous and the product is such high quality)
Favorite fall lip color? Clinique Plum Pop (just got it last week in my Boscov’s Bonus Bag, such a beautiful color)
I wear the same makeup all year round, but there are what I’d consider the most fall-like products I use.
Your skin tone/coloring: NW45-47
