Eyes: Apply lilac eyeshadow over your entire lid to the crease. (Rodriguez likes Dior 5-Colour Designer All-In-One Artistry Palette, $59.) Then draw a thin black line on your upper lashline for definition.
Cheeks: Wear a soft wash of rosy blush with a hint of lilac undertones on the apples of your cheeks. Try Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Chased, $24.
Lips: Wear a lilac lip gloss for a sheer purple tint. Try Dior Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in Party Lilac, $28. To go bold, brush a light layer of foundation on your lips to remove any natural lip color. Then apply CoverGirl LipPerfection Lip Color in Verve, $6.99.

Don't like lavender lips (unless there's a lot of pink) or orange eye shadow; I don't think they're flattering to anyone.

Not the right colors for me but I enjoy seeing them on other more daring people.

Too much color for me.

Not so sure some of these looks are very "fall friendly". Seem more summer oriented.

Like the colors but not how they were applied on the models.

I like some of these ideas! I rock the lilac look pretty regularly, but I like the mint and blue tips and might have to try those out soon.

I'm really not a fan of the orange sherbet... I've tried orange and it looks dreadful.
