As Autumn and soon to be Winter are now in full swing, so is the makeup to go with it. Seeing all of the Christmas gift sets in NARS and the new seasonal collections in MAC make me very excited for Christmas shopping. On top of this they encourage me to try out new colours and get into the spirit (makeup wise)
I thought I would share my eye makeup staples/everyday go to's as I adore the tones and think there must be one here for every skin tone and preference.
Firstly there is the
Sleek Au Naturel eye shadow palette which is so perfect for all year round, but in particular the colder months. There are lots of scrummy colours that can be worn all the time whether it be for college or a soon-to-arrive Christmas party it is perfect and a decent size to throw in your bag if you have the room (which I never do...)
Secondly, there are a few products from MAC which I have been loving recently. There are two eyeshadows which I'm sure everyone has heard of;
WoodWinked and
Cranberry. They are incredible colours, Woodwinked I use more on a daily basis for a quick eye shadow fix, and Cranberry if I feel slightly more daring and have a little longer to play around with it as it comes on quick strong. Then there is the pro longwear paint pot in
Painterly which is use everyday before my eyeshadow to add some extra cover for my eyelids as they are very red and helps to emphasise the eye shadow further. My pot was the first thing I every bought from MAC around a year ago I would say and I have barely made a dent! Perfect...
Thirdly there is an eye shadow duo from NARS in the colour
Kuala Lumpur which is just so beautiful and easy to wear whenever I fancy some colour. Good pigmentation and blends really well. We all know the drill, NARS doesn't really let you down to be honest...
And finally there are two eye liners which I have used a couple of times so far but feel they would be great for anyone who maybe prefers eye liners to eye shadows. There is 17 Photo Flawless eye pencil in Carbon Black/ Blue. Yes that is the name, and thats what it looks like on. A dark, maybe grungy blue is what you get from it, which is a nice pop of colour with a black mascara. Then there is the Bourjois Khol & Contour in the colour
Bleu Espiegle which is a lovely brightening greeny/blue. Great if you feel a bit bolder in your colour choices and fancy a change!
Hope you enjoyed! Would love some recommendations for other Autumn/Winter eye shadows or liners! Bye bye
