I'm a Gemini, which means I'm regularly torn between two opposite choices, and picking a YSL eye shadow palette was no exception. The "Arty" version is loud and edgy; the "Classy" one contains wear-them-daily neutrals. The verdict? Go for both. Even if you don't believe in astrology hocus pocus, trust me: you'll use them.
Lip gloss is back! Not that it ever really went away, but mark my words, you'll be seeing a lot of slick glosses soon. For Fall 2013, Lorac is launching five new extra-glimmery shades. From barely-there nude to bright red, they cover the complete range of gloss colors.
The entire fall collection from Smashbox is called Fade to Black, and this palette illustrates the concept perfectly. There are seven colors that range from shimmery white to super-saturated black. After seeing the punk/vamp looks on runways in Paris, I can promise you won't neglect a single pan this fall if you're on trend.
If you're planning to buy one new blush this fall, this is the one. The packaging is uber-glamorous, and you get four colors (bronze, coral, pink, and fuchsia) that can be dusted on individually or blended together. So really, it's five hues for the price of one.
More metallics! This trio of silvery blues will have you totally rethinking your stance on blue eye shadow. You can use them separately to create different looks, or layer them together (the darkest shade at the lash line, the medium shade in the crease, and the lightest all over your lid) for more drama.
