The Best Eye Palettes to Use for Fall
Fall has officially arrived in the DMV. Alhough we have our random sunny, warm days, the early mornings are often quite chilly now, just as are the late nights.

With this change comes the change of wardrobe, food and makeup. It is time to say goodbye to bronzers and coconut scented hair products.
One of the first things to change when it comes to new seasons is your eye palette. Eyes can set the mood for whatever environment you are in, and with chilly days and nights and the sun creeping behind the clouds, some great fall palettes will help you feel the change of season.
Dark and smokey is not the only fall look for eyes. With the current trend, you can actually pull off bold colors during the fall and mix it with that smokey eye look that you love.

Clairns appropriately labeled 4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette in Forest is a great one to have in your bag for the season. It mixes very pigmented grays and silvers and includes four shades so you can mix and match depending on how dramatic of a look you are going for. I wear the lighter shades when I am heading into the office, then apply the darker shades of grey when I am leaving to meet my friends for dinner.

Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Subculture Eyeshadow Palette is a dream come true for anyone going pumpkin picking. The colors are a perfect example of what fall should look like in an eye palette, with its pumpkin colored New Wave matte shade and Edge, which is a golden matte that reminds you of the fallen leaves. The colors are also very pigmented and very easy to blend.

RMS Beauty’s Luminizer Quad X is heaven sent and I do not leave home without it. It leaves you looking perfectly dewy eyed, yet still with a touch of fall. It is soft and sweet meets cool and warm. This palette can actually be worn in more places, such as on your cheeks and lips. The beauty of it is that it can blend into whatever look you are going for. If you apply Luminizer Nude to your eyelids with nothing else and then put Champagne Fizz on the corner of your eyes and in the inside corner of your eyelids, you will have a natural dewy-eyed look that is perfect to wear to go to the pumpkin patch.
