Drumroll, please…it’s finally Fall! There’s something about this season that makes me want to re-vamp my makeup wardrobe. Maybe it’s the beautiful color changes on treetops, or possibly it’s the weather cooling down to reasonable temperatures, but Fall makeup is the best!
Now is the time for rich lip colors, metallic eye shadows, colorful mascara and oh-so-flattering bronze eyeliners.
I’ve been playing around with these copper and bronze tones, so here are my current Fall obsessions.
