The Seasonal Switch Up: Fall Eye Shadow

Every season is more or less a natural eye shadow season for me. I admit this fall I am getting a little wild because I am whipping out some colour  I use colour very loosely because the color I am talking about is gold.  Now let me just give you the rundown of my makeup application skills by first saying I am no makeup artist and I do like fairly natural looks. I mean if I needed to I could whip up a smoky eye but I am all about the quick natural makeup looks. So here is eye showdown selection for this fall.

Clinique In Dust

Despite Clinique’s popularity I can honestly say I haven’t tried too much from this brand. So while repurchasing my concealer I was surprised to see just how pretty there eye shadows were. Wanting to purchase all of them I settled for In Dust. In Dust is a pretty almost coppery gold, it’s both pigmented and easy to blend. Applied on the lid and just underneath the lid with a ton of mascara it looks makes my blue eyes really pop.

NARS Erotic Dance

LOVE this shadow set and my love is only based on one shade.  That shade is the antique gold because it’s buttery, smooth, and pigmented. I do admit for a colour is very wearable it’s also very unique and hard to dupe too. This on the lids and a little brown through the crease and it’s such a simple, natural golden fall look.

MAC Soba

Why don’t I talk about this more? This mustard-y all-most matte brown looks beautiful alone or with any other colours. The problem I’ve always had with gold shadows is they can sometimes look too metallic for every day. This is where Soba becomes a game changer! Not only does it tone wise look pretty but it also takes the metallic edge off gold’s and makes them very wearable. My favorite way to wear this is blended though the crease with a gold shadow on the lid.

Yes, this has been quite a simple list but these just look stunning alone or mixed with each other. What shades have you been loving? Leave me a comment!
