Unforgettable Autumn | Eyeshadows to Love
My favorite season is autumn–cooler but not too cold (at least, not in Arizona or California, the two places I’ve lived most of my life)–and I love the slight crispness in the air. It seems to be beauty’s least favorite season, though, especially as brands compete harder each holiday season for everyone’s attention. Holiday coverage typically starts early September on the blog, so I don’t have much hope for any last minute fall collections to come my way (I’m sure ColourPop has at least a few more to drop before they launch their holiday collection!).
So, here are some collections of eyeshadows inspired by autumn!

In the green category, I either own them or they’re all on my WL! Geesh! I’m definitely seeing many personal favorite autumnal shades up above. I’m more than happy to see autumn arrive to these parts. This was such a bizarre summer. Non-soon. ?
I guess that’s what we get for such an active season last year!
These are beautiful! Thank you for giving fall some love!
So sad that it’s felt so minimal this fall from brands 🙁
Yes, it seemed like it jumped from summer straight to the holidays.
Yep … Autumn is my favorite month, and if these eyeshadows can be described as especially appropriate for Autumn, then that explains a lot — I have all these categories COMPLETELY covered. 🙂
Fall is my absolutely favourite season, not just for makeup but generally. I just wish it lasted longer where I live. Not surprisingly, the green, bronze and generally “sludgey” 4-somes are the ones grabbing my eye here and I either own the shadows or, in the case of “online orders only” ones, I have dupes, which is fortunate. But those are the shades I love to use.
Congratulation Christine for this curation of fall inspired colors! It was a pleasure to the make-up lover eye. 🙂
