MAC Metallics for Fall.

I love metallic shades in the fall. Looking through my recent stash of fall products, I noticed that many of the beauties from the MAC Indulge Collection were metallic, in various shades of brown. I have found myself turning to these almost daily to create beautiful looks on my eyes, lips and nails.

My favorite MAC metallics for fall include:

Eyes

Deliciously Rich Fluidline - This is a beautiful shimmery eyeliner in a medium taupe color. The shimmer is gold and the overall look is gorgeous. I have been applying the liner with the MAC Flat Definer Brush 212 to smudge it right at my lash line. I really like to smudge this out and think it would look great smudged a bit on the lid as a shadow. I just don't think the formula is right for that.

Gilt Morsel Eye Shadow - In a lustre formula, this silky formula is a bit glittery in a light gold. This is perfect to highlight on the brow bone, right in the center of a darker eye look to open up the eye, or dabbed into the inner corner to draw attention there as well.

Divine Decadence - This veluxe eyeshadow in a beautiful bronze is great for all over the lid. It reminds me of an old penny, as in a dirty copper. It makes my eyes that can easily look blue/green, to hazel, to green depending on what I wear, look a gorgeous shade of green.

Lips

Smash Hit Dazzle Lipstick - This super sparkly lipstick goes on sheer with an opalescent gold sparkle. Wear it on its own for a sparkle nude look, or over a deeper shade to add a bit of softness and dimension to the lip with the sparkle.

By Design Frost Lipstick - This soft, shimmery beige lipstick is a great nude for fall. The frost is not overly heavy and it look great on its own or layered under a gloss, like the one below.

Ultimate Dish Lipglass - This almost see through nude glossy with subtle pearl is gorgeous over darker shades to lighten them up. I am especially loving it over By Design for the ultimate nude lip with a bit of sparkle.

Nails

Magnificent Feast Nail Lacquer - This heavily glittered pure gold frosted nail polish makes for an easy gold accent nail. I like using it on my ring fingers only to accent a bold fall manicure.

All of these fall metallics from the MAC Indulge Collection are available now at all MAC locations and online at maccosmetics.com.

Fall 2013: CHANEL Superstition Makeup Collection.

The new CHANEL Superstition Makeup Collection is in a word - beautiful. With shades of khaki, which can be worn by everyone, and matching pairs for cheeks and lips, this one has me yearning for fall and cooler weather now.

A firm believer in luck, Gabrielle Chanel surrounded herself with her favorite charms and talismans, as much for good fortune as for inspiration. The symbols that warded off superstitious fears now serve as silent muses for an enchanting Fall makeup collection. Sumptuous khaki tones are set off by new ‘lucky charm’ duos: entrancing, shade-matched pairs for cheeks and lips.

I love makeup shades that match, and pairing up cheek and lip colors are genius, especially when you want everyone to look at your eyes. Trust me, with these shades, that is where you want the focus to be, because the quad and shadows (Gri-Gri!) are intoxicating. I can't get enough. I think the pairs provide the perfect balance and help those that have problems when selecting coordinating colors, especially when going for a bolder lip and eye.

The collection:

LES 4 OMBRES Quadra Eye Shadow - $59.00
The metallic and khaki shades in this palette are captivating. Like I mentioned above, you want the eyes to take center stage when using a palette like this. The colors are so incredibly beautiful, no matter how you wear them.

• Mystere - Golden Khaki, Golden Ivory, Silver Taupe, Matte Khaki 

I have been wearing Golden Ivory on my brow bone, Silver Taupe all over my lid with Golden Khaki in the outer crease. Matte Khaki is perfect as a complementary liner.

OMBRE ESSENTIELLE Soft Touch Eyeshadow - $28.50
Eyes are beautiful with these chic powder shadows in soft lavender and luminous taupe. Gri-Gri is going to be one of my all time favorites, I already know. The shimmering taupe shade reflects the light so beautifully. Pair the shades together for a soft, shimmering neutral fall eye.

• Gri-Gri - Metallic Taupe
• Hasard - Matte Lavender

LE BLUSH CRÈME DE CHANEL Cream Blush - $38.00
This innovative blush features a powder-cream formula made up of sheer, yet vibrant pigments. The silky texture offers a longwear satin finish that can be applied with fingertips or a brush.

• Destiny - Golden Beige
• Presage - Apricot
• Revelation - Soft-shimmering Pink
• Inspiration - Soft Blue Pink
• Affinite - Intense Blue Pink
• Fantastic - Burgundy

STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF Long-Lasting Eyeliner - $30.00
This smudge-proof bronze khaki eye pencil looks beautiful with the quad as well. It offers a slight bit of metallic to it, but nothing too overpowering. I love how it lasts all day with no smudging.

• Khaki Precieux - Khaki with Bronze Tint

LE VOLUME DE CHANEL Mascara - $30.00
Lashes go bold while finishing the khaki look with this bronzed shade of khaki. I like using it with the liner, but over a base of black.

• Khaki Bronze - Khaki with Bronze Tint

ROUGE COCO Hydrating Crème Lip Colour - $34.00
Delicate beige and bright apricot shades dress lips to charm. These creamy colors coordinate with the cream blushes and feel so nice on the lips.

• Icone - Golden Beige
• Mystique - Apricot

ROUGE COCO SHINE Hydrating Sheer Lipshine - $34.00
Soft shades of pink pair beautifully with their creme blush counterparts. Pink looks unexpectedly gorgeous with khaki. It is not a color I would have thought to pair up. You can see how beautiful in the CHANEL beauty image above.

• Secret - Soft Shimmering Pink
• Instinct - Soft Blue Pink

ROUGE COCO SHINE Hydrating Colour Lipshine - $34.00
In deep pink and burgundy, lips take on an intense new glow to create a similar attention grabbing look to the eyes. I like these with the Gri-Gri and Hasard shades best.

• Rendez-vous - Intense Blue Pink
• Esprit - Burgundy

LE VERNIS Nail Colour - $27.00
The final touch of intrigue makes the collection complete with the three new polishes. Alchimie, a gorgeous golden khaki, shade is a must have this fall.

• Elixir - Milky Pink
• Alchimie - Golden Khaki
• Mysterious - Deep Khaki
