MOMMA WANTS... new fall eye makeup

Hmmm…. will this color suit my baby face???

Yes, and it’s perfect for fall!

Every season we get inundated with the latest beauty trends so today I wanted to focus on the latest and greatest fall eye makeup to update your look. From shadows to liners and lashes – everything you need to know that made an impact on the runway and is hitting cosmetic counters and drugstore shelves right now. Remember, the key is not to supercharge your look – it’s not about going nuts with editorial false lashes and dramatic theater worthy makeup – it’s about a fresh new hue swept across your lids, perhaps a new placement of eyeliner. New fall eye makeup trends are all about enhancing your natural beauty with some new more modern techniques and shades… Consider subtle tweaks to your beauty regime – a new pencil or shadow can instantly revive your look and prepare you for the new season. Check out some of my favorite fall eye makeup and get ready for the holidays with a fresh face!

Metallic shades of gold, silver, bronze even rose gold were crazy hot on the runway and can easily make their way into your own makeup kit. Remember – you don’t have to go the full catwalk route – simply sweeping one of these hot new shadows across your lids – and perhaps a bit of gold in the inner corners of your eye can instantly update your look!

It may sound nuts – but a daytime smoky eye is more about neutral tones like brown and amber that give you that look and feel but in a far more subtle, wearable way.

Strong brows – not big masculine furry eyebrows, but just a slightly bolder brow – think the likes of Cara Delevingne or Brooke Shields’ classic look. Still well manicured, just don’t be afraid of them being a bit fuller. As a part greek girl with plenty of brows to spare, this trend brings me great happiness.
