Smoky Brown Eyes & Red Lips

Fall is all about deep colors and warm, rich tones,  so I put together this smokey look which should take no longer than 15 minutes to recreate, and the lip color will last you all day long! 

Eyes
1. Prime the eyes to ensure long wearing, crease-proof shadow application, I used my Urban Decay Primer Potion.
2. Take a matte, cream colored eyeshadow and apply it to the eyelid up to the brow bone.
3. Blend a matte, medium brown shade into the crease and soften the edges until it looks warm and smokey. Also run this color along the bottom lashline with a pencil brush.
4. Deepen the outer portion of the eye with a dark brown shadow making sure to blend well for soft definition. Also blend this color lightly along the bottom lashline, just in the outer corners.
5. Smudge on a chocolate brown liner and add mascara.
6. Finish the look by filling in the brows, I used my Anastasia Brow Wiz in 'Medium Ash'.

Speckled Fall Eyes

I created this look because I love all the earthy tones that the fall season brings out and these types of warm neutrals look great on everyone! Earlier this year I picked up a whole bunch of Stila liquid and pencil liners at The Makeup Show, and I finally got to put them to work in this fun look. I would suggest checking out Stila's liners if you like to play with color as they have a vast selection and are felt-tipped making them very easy to handle.

Eyes
1. Prime the lids to ensure longwear, crease proof shadow application, I used my Urban Decay Primer Potion.
2. Dust a matte cream colored shadow from the lid up to the browbone.
3. Blend a matte brown shadow into the crease for soft definition.
4. Draw on a winged line using a deep green color and extend it towards the browbone, I used my Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Liner in 'Olive'.
5. Trace the green line with a burnt copper shade, I used my Stila liquid liner in 'Amber'.
6. Trace the inner corner of the lower lashline with a white pencil, I used my Stila Smudge Stick 'Alpine'.
7. Thickly line the outer corner of the bottom lashline with a berry pencil, I used my Stila Smudge Stick in 'Deep Fuchsia'.
8. Draw on little dots extending them in a triangular shape from the wing, I used my Stila liquid liner in 'Snow'.
9. Finish the look by filling in the brows, I used my Anastasia Brow Wiz in 'Medium Ash'.

Gold Glitter & Pink Lips

I love wearing unexpected colors on my eyes, and pinks are one of those colors that people will tell you to stay away from because it can make you look sick. While that is true in most cases, if you get the right shade of hot pink, it can really make brown eyes pop!

Eyes
1. Prime the eyes to ensure longwear, creaseproof shadow application, I used my Urban Decay Primer Potion.
2. Apply a shimmery gold shadow all over the lid.
3. Blend a matte dark brown into the outer corner and crease for definition.
4. Blend a tiny bit of hot pink into the outer edge of the eye overlapping it with the brown, I used Nars blush in 'Desire'.
5. Draw a yellow pencil on the inner corners of the eye and set it with a yellow shadow, I used a Sephora Collection liner in 'Banana Split' and a bright matte yellow shadow by Make Up For Ever.
6. With a skinny brush, pat hot pink shadow along the length of the bottom lashline, I used Nars blush in 'Desire'.
7. Place gold glitter in the center of the eyelid, I used Sephora Collection Glitter Eyeliner & Mascara in 'VIP Gold'. If you want to be fun, use eyelash glue to add little stars to the corner of the eye.
8. Line the top of your eyes with a black pencil and add mascara and false lashes for more drama, I used Ardell Demi Wispies.
9. Finish the look by filling in the brows, I used my Anastasia Brow Wiz in 'Medium Ash'.

Heavy Liner & Bubblegum Lips

Heavy liner is one of my favorite looks, it elongates the eyes and makes any style more hip. This liner is more dramatic than what I would normally wear (with my eyes fully open it almost took up my whole lid space) but it is a fun way to try something new!

Eyes
1. Prime the eyes to ensure longwear crease-proof shadow application, I used my Urban Decay Primer Potion.
2. Blend a warm toned neutral into the crease, I used 'Toast' by Bobbi Brown.
3. Deepen and define the crease with a cooler neural to add shadow, I used 'Taupe' by Bobbi Brown.
4. Press an iridescent color onto the inner third of the lid. I used Nars Dual Intensity Eyeshadow in 'Cassiopeia' with a wet brush. I absolutely love these dual shadows and would recommend that you guys check them out.
5. Highlight the browbone with a matte cream color, I used 'French Vanilla' by Clinique.
6. Draw on your liquid liner like you normally would and then extend the tail longer towards the end of the brow. Lastly, draw it back towards the main liner to create a thick triangle. I used my all-time favorite liner, 'Trooper' by Kat Von D.
7. Finish the look by filling in the brows, I used my Anastasia Brow Powder in 'Taupe'
