I have been having so much fun playing around with warm golds and browns! They are so easy to coordinate and can make a stunning yet neutral look!
Some of my new favorite eyeshadows are the Jesse's Girl Eye Dusts, which have some great staying power and beautiful colors. I chose the eye dust in Sunlit Cactus to play with this time. This color comes off as a burnished gold, but also has tons of olive green iridescence to it, making this a fun color to play with.
Jesse's Girl Eye Dust "Sunlit Cactus" - foiled on lid
Bare Escentuals Glimmer "Sex Kitten" - dry in crease and pulled down into corner of lid
Jesse's Girl Eye Dust "Sparkles Gold" - foiled to hilight
mark. Hookup Liquid Eyeliner "Bronze Edge" - upper lid
Miliani Eyeliner Pencil "Brown" - lower lashline
Maybelline Colossal Mascara "Black"
Again, here are some pictures of the Jesse's Girl Eye Dusts, which includes swatches of each. Sunlit Cactus is on the bottom right of this first picture, and swatched first below.
As you have all probably gathered, I am so excited for fall! I decided to start browsing around and see the new fall collections that have come out, and one that stood out to me was the Nars 2008 Fall Collection, which I love every peice in!
You can see the entire collection here.
There are some absolutely beautiful eyeshadows, perfectly picked for fall. I absolutely love the Isolde Due Eyeshadow - the golds and bronze are right up my alley!
The lipsticks are gorgeous too, especially a nice warm pink to have for fall. Senorita is stunning, and I am definitely going to need to go to the store and see if I can' swatch some of these and show all of you.
The weather has finally broken into the 50's and 60's here, which means fall is right around the corner! In honor of the cooler weather, I decided to break out my turtleneck sweaters and my bronze eyeshadows for a fall inspired look. This is another go-to-any-time pallet, as the colors work so well together!
This was also the first time I used my mark. Lillith eyeliner, which I really like. The color is a bit on the light side, but it did add just enough definition to work well.

As I'm sure many of you know, I love golds and browns. Although I do like to play in color, working with browns and golds is so easy for me to do, so I just love to play around with different colors and techniques when I have the chance.
I decided to do more of a smokey antique gold look with the following colors:
The She Space "Fire and Brimstone" - inner corner
Jesse's Girl Eye Dusts "Cactus" - outer corner
Bare Escentuals Glimmer "Sex Kitten" - crease
Bare Escentuals Glimmer "White Gold" - highlight
Taylor Made Minerals "Fiji Beach" - under eye liner
Fyrinnae Liquid Eyeliner "Lovers Quarrel" - upper liner
Rimmel GlamEyes Mascara "Extreme Black"
For some reason, all these random colors worked well together and made a natural but beautiful look. The liquid eyeliner managed to take on several colors, including lavender, silver, gold and bronze. I absolutely love it!
